E-mail: Summary: The research into medical decision-making of general
practitioners is of great importance especially for education and continued
education, for ensuring the quality and rationality in practice, but also
for better understanding of theoretical structure of medical reasoning. The
empirical researche of decision-making in medical practice shows that there
exist dinstict methods and styles in dealing with different problems by
different medical profiles. There are some indications that working methods
of general practitioners (and especially of family practitioners) are
specific, but are not yet measured.
