Abstract
Lustig relates the importance of knowledge in bioethics and effective communication between patient and caregivers in dealing with dilemmas involved with therapy and end-of-life choices. He claims that it is necessary that the medical school curricula should incorporate specific strategies for better clinical communication, which may reduce the number of dilemmas encountered by professionals.
