Abstract

The request of tests of diagnosis and therapeutics by the patients is a reality in the daily practice of family medicine, which, not rarely questions the relationship between the patient and the family doctor. Various problems can be raised, from the contextualization of the request to implications in the ethical field, namely at the level of medical decision.
