MARCH 18, CHESTBH (PA.) TJMB8 Neurologist Favors Telling Patients In Hopeless Cases LOS ANGELES When a doctor discovers that a patient is fatally ill, should he tell him? Yes, says Dr. Philip J. Vogcl, even if the patient is chronic worrier. "If you don't tell him," Vogel added, "he will develop an anxiety which is worse than the fear of death." The present trend, Vogel said, is away from the policy of hiding the grim facts from victims of hopeless ailments. In nearly every WALLPAPER SALE 20" Per tingle roll 1952 styles.

As this suspicion grows, they will lose faith in the doctor and in all those around them who have been aiding the deception. Vogel, a Pasadena, neurologist, appeared yesterday on a panel discussing hopeless prognosis at the alumni convention of the College of Medical Evangelists. He is head of the college's department of neurosurgery.

KINDLY WAY Complete candor does not necessarily require bluntness, he conceded, and patients can be told the truth in a kindly way which minimizes the shock and leaves them with some measure of hope. "Oddly enough, most patients so advised do not stop fighting," he said. "Even neurotics have been known to lose their neuroses completely upon learning that they are going to die." "There is an ethical as well as a medical reason for the truth," Vogel added. "A person fatally ill has the right to put his affairs in order and to adjust the rest of his life to his own liking. The average physician has found that the most difficult task in such cases is not handling the patient but handling are inclined to insist that the truth be withheld." The only cases wherein withholding the truth is Justified are those of children, very old persons and persons mentally incapable of comprehending, he aaid.
