Question

Why might someone think that telling patients the whole truth is impossible? Doctors' time is too precious to waste on making sure patients understand what's going on. There is no such thing as truth; everything is relative/subjective. Doctors often don't know exactly what's going on themselves. Medical conditions and diagnoses can be incredibly technical and involve concepts that patients simply don't possess.
