    Author: Alvarez A, Mohar A, Kraus A.
    Journal: Rev Invest Clin; 1997; 49(2):151-61. PubMed ID: 9380969.
    Abstract:
    The experience of the human being towards death is reviewed in this essay. Some historical, medical and psychological points of view are analyzed. It is disquieting to note that the death theme, as well as the experience of patients who confront their own death, are forgotten topics and occasionally even vetoed by patients and physicians. We consider that is timely and important to reflect about death. The advancement of medical technology must walk in parallel with physician-patient relationship. Who, if not the doctor, is to help his patient to die in comfort?
