Abstract:
Why should one make patient comfort the main issue in a discussion on the theme “Telling or Not Telling the Truth?” Comfort and truth: would this be a trick question? Obviously, the breaking bad news makes people uncomfortable, no matter what it is, and even more so when it comes to informing about death. Who is uncomfortable? It would seem key to highlight the fact that all those involved in the process of informing, explaining as well as recognizing and accepting the truth are most often the most uncomfortable ones: the professional experiencing difficulty in saying it, the patient experiencing difficulty in hearing it.
