Medical taking-decisions in the health primary assistance context. Transcendence of a problem from a general comprehensive doctor´s perspective.

Abstract

This article is aimed at deepening on the consequences of the deficient development of abilities in decision making in the speciality of medicine, analysed from the prospective of the Comprehensive General Doctor . A psychological and professional characterisation of the Comprehensive General Doctors are developed from the analysis of their environment and on these bases the paper presents how these problems are reflected in the professional assistance. The conclusions are good to recognise how dangerous is to trust the development of this ability in the post-graduate stage so it seems to be wiser to work in its formation and development in the pre professional stage.
