-: I think especially in medicine that's extremely
important because where someone's from,
the culture they grew up in, the way they approach health,
very much informs how they're gonna, one,
have different expectations from their physician,
or their healthcare, and two,
how they're going to take advice from a doctor.
So, right now my job I see people from all sorts of places.
So, I see people from a lower socioeconomic statuses
from local Cleveland, I see people who are from all
over the world, from Saudi Arabia,
Abu Dhabi, China, India, and so knowing
how they're going to react to you,
or react to your advice is really important.
And being open to the fact that
they may not come to a doctor's appointment
with the same kind of attitudes or expectations that you do
is something that you need to know and be able to adjust to,
so that those people still feel like
they're being taken care of and that you're respecting
their health and the things that are important to them.
