A Brief Note on Difficult Discussions Between Doctors and Patients provides students with a framework to help them think about how to have such discussions. The framework has three parts: 1. The contextual realities of a given case. Two categories of contextual realities exist. First, there are the factual components that surround a case. Without a full understanding of all the facts, a doctor will be handicapped in a difficult discussion. Second, there are complicating factors - the "invisible" obstacles that can create unnecessary tension or otherwise compromise a difficult conversation. 2. The goal(s). What is success in a difficult doctor-patient discussion? 3. Guidelines for difficult discussions. The specific steps to take during the discussion to create the best odds for success.
