Abstract

Through our own experience and that of others authors - surgeons, mathematicians, philosophers - we consider methods, reality ant future of communication and transmission in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Open to criticism, communication is always revocable; registered in the future, transmission is not so easy to challenge. Subjects and means of communication and transmission - language and pictures - are discussed, provided that to allow citicism and to be closed to self-love. A matter of course is that truth must rise above self-vanity. Communication is devoted to all those who take care of patients, but also to patients themselves and their relatives: the best wisdom must be used here and, too, with medias where in communication must follow the simplest morality: don't act for yourself but for others. We have to teach that we must be impassioned of strictness, and accept to waste needfull time for research as for practice. We communicate with all who wish for it, but we transmit only to those we guess able to follow right and prudent practice. Spirit of surgery must overcome technical tips.

Information-sharing among couples considering multifetal pregnancy reduction.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the information-sharing strategies of couples considering fetal reduction, and the impact of these strategies on the chances of encountering hostility in their social networks. DESIGN: Cross-sectional design of semistructured qualitative interviews, coded with respect to sharing strategies and level of personally directed hostility encountered. SETTING: Multiple Pregnancy Management Program, Comprehensive Genetics, New York, New York. PATIENT(S) AND INTERVENTION(S): Fifty women and their partners who were making a first visit to our maternal-fetal management facility, in order to consider the possibility of multifetal reduction as a pregnancy-management strategy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Development of information-sharing strategies, and the chances of encountering personally directed hostility regarding multifetal reduction associated with more and less selective strategies. RESULT(S): Four information-sharing strategies emerged from the analysis. Two of these strategies were relatively open (extended network, and both parents). Two other strategies were relatively selective (qualified family and friends, and defended relationship). The selective strategies were significantly less likely to encounter to encounter personally directed hostility (odds ratio, 3.88; 95% confidence intervals, 0.87-17.30). CONCLUSION(S): Selective sharing of information for couples considering multifetal prgnancy reduction is a potentially useful strategy for moderating potentially stressful relationships in their social networks. Clinics should find a way of integrating the discussion of selective sharing into their clinic's cultural repertoire of patient-support services.
