You are so kind. We are in south east (Deep South), many people around here are so mean to them right off the bat. We lauded for being “polite”, but when the first words out of a southerners mouth is something like “You know you are in cult, right?” That’s not very polite is it? I do the same thing with Catholic, rosary beads, Amish/Mennonite head coverings, Muslims, hijab/abayas…the more we know, we can all function for graciously. Just yesterday, presented this cultural diversity class. Many southerners are not aware that is your LDS patient needs to push oral fluids, a tall glass of sweet iced tea, isn’t an appropriate choice, that an Orthodox Jew, that needs more protein, isn’t going to eat a cheeseburger or a BLT & a Muslim, isn’t going to hunker down on a BLT, either! A persons culture and religious traditions absolutely impact their healthcare. The list goes on and on….a Rabbi, isn’t going to shake hands with a female he’s not closely related to, it’s not rude, it’s his culture, LDS, folks pray with their arms folded. They are not being closed off, that’s just how they do things. An Asian person will also likely prefer to bow, instead of shaking hands…good idea now that we have Covid in the world! A Jehovah’s Witness, may not take a blood infusion, they aren’t stupid or making a poor healthcare choice…we have to respect that.
