Telling Sick People the Truth
The issue of medical truth is perceived differently by doctors and patients. From the doctors point of view: Should a given patient be told the truth? Should terminally ill patients be told how much longer they may expect to live? From the patients point of view: How can I hear the truth and learn to live with the disease? This book should help health professionals deal with emotionally difficult moments of truth. It should also help patients and their loved ones to feel less alone, once they have heard the truth, and to gradually learn to live with their disease. Christine Delaporte is a head of research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.

The Truth About Chronic Diseases
A team of authors that brings together the greatest specialists in French medicine in the most important fields: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurology, infectious disease and allergies. A real encyclopedia, which leaves no point in the shadows: from difficulties in following treatment to patient-physician relations, from families and carers to the public health system. A book that anticipates future problems faced by medicine, by doctors and by patients.
