Abstract
In their report the authors emphasize the necessity and urgency of team work which they consider to be the best possible way for the medical care of patient's health under the treatment. The contemporary human pathology is full of diseases which can't be successfully treated only by one expert, regardless of high qualities which he can possess from his branch of medicine, in the time when the number of necessary laboratory examinations increases every minute, only the team work of specialists from different branches of medicine can establish the right diagnosis and give the best in the therapy and treatment of a patient. Nowadays, when the pathology of developed countries is dominated by malformations, the team work is indisputable. Not only diagnosis and treatment, but also genetic aspect of an affected person may be solved in that way. From their routine work, the authors present three patients in the cases of which the exact diagnosis and the possible therapy were determined very late. One mother, for example, who showed the clinical picture of cleidocranial disostosis as well as her son, was acquainted with the genetic importance and prognosis of her disease only in her thirties.
On the basis of their experience the authors plead for the team work as the only way for a valuable and successful professional work in the desire to help the patient as much as possible.
