Breaking bad news is one part of doctor's daily life. Although it is doctor's responsibility not to scare the patients but in certain case they should. A future doctor should learn a proper way to break bad news to the patients. They cannot just simply say "You only have 4 months before you are going to die". The doctor should not do like this. It is hard for the patients to accept the bad news and it is doctor's responsibility to explain to the patient about his/her condition. The patient really need moral support and motivational word on that time. At least, the doctor should help the patient in facing the disease that attack the patient... By doing this, at least the patient have someone to share about his problem and make the patient feel more relieve.
This is the better way....
