Having reviewed the results of the ordered laboratory tests, the physician informs the patient about the diagnosis which is unfavourable for him/her. The patient interrupts the physician and asks him to stop as he does not want to hear about his diagnosis any more. Under these circumstances, the physician should:

A. refrain from informing the patient, because he is legally exempt from this duty if the patient requests so.
B. continue with his duty of informing the patient, as it is the condition for the patient’s granting or denying his informed consent to treatment procedures.
C. persuade the patient to continue listening about the diagnosis, as the doctor is obliged to provide him/her with all the available information about his/her health condition.
D. pass the information about the patient’s condition to the person authorised by the patient.
E. call a medical council composed of three physicians, including at least two specialists in the field which the diagnosis concerns, and pass health information to the patient in a broader circle.
