First and foremost I think that a doctor has to tell the person the truth no matter what the prognosis. However I do think that no matter how bad it is, even if it is a 99% chance of death, then they should try and make the person believe that they have a chance, since there is the posibiltiy that someones mental state can have an effect on their chances of survival.
