How to Communicate and Receive an Oncological Diagnosis
Communicating the truth about a patient's health condition does not have a very long tradition in the Czech Republic. The Czech healthcare system only began to emphasize this aspect, that is, honest and open communication between doctor and patient, several years after the Velvet Revolution.

How fragile can the patient's trust in the doctor be, which then influences the entire course of subsequent treatment, and what different reactions can a specialist expect from the patient? Read on the patient's website www.lecba-rakoviny.cz, which can be a very helpful and trustworthy source of numerous pieces of information for you and your patients.
