An analysis of most frequent mistakes that arise in practical activity as a consequence of overestimation of paraclinical methods of investigation, underestimation of a role of treatment that the patient receives due to other indications is presented. The formation of life attitude of the physician is the extremely important component of teaching process. One should not forget the lessons of history shown examples of physicians that gave their lives to save patients.
