 AB    A review of the literature regarding burn-out provide a sample of
       specific variables that describes the phenomenon. This could potentially
       leads to the emergence of a set of actions intending to facilitate the
       task of health workers (at least if personnel managers pay it
       attention). However, it does not preclude the risk of burn-out, neither
       does it explain its nature. This syndrome seems to be more prevalent in
       certain medical departments and it occurs to us--through careful
       listening to health workers and AIDS patients--that, to learn about
       something that affects health workers, we have to ask patients,
       supposing they were in the first line. We then realized that knowledge
       makes distress.
