Cultural Competency in Health Care
Discussion Topic: Assumption exercise
In chapter 4, page 55, we read that you cannot judge a book by its cover or a person by the way they look. So many times we assume by the way we “see” things.
For this week, I have a riddle for you:
A father and son were in a car accident where the father was killed. The ambulance brought the son to the hospital. He needed immediate surgery. In the operating room, a doctor came in and looked at the little boy and said I can’t operate on him he is my son. Who is the doctor?
Try to figure it out, without Googling it, as your thoughts (uninfluenced by Google) is what we are trying to discuss- the assumptions we make.
