Medical guidelines on giving bad news

I found it fascinating the way the GPs have to approach delivering bad news.  It can be just as emotional for  the doctor who has to tell the patient as it is for them. There was a great example I found of how to structure telling someone bad news.  Some parts I felt to either relate very well to HIV or to be supportive and caring.  Such as "...some treatment that will make you feel very unwell but you can get through it. " and "...you have a fight on and we can win."
