Understanding cultural norms in patient care isn’t optional, it’s essential – Oncogene Cancer Research
Oncogene Cancer Research shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Understanding cultural norms in patient care isn’t optional – it’s essential. In this thoughtful editorial, EGFR lung cancer advocate Dr. Aurora Lucas, MAT, EdD and Dr Eric Singhi, Thoracic Medical Oncologist, explore the cultural barriers that can stand in the way of patient care and education.
Aurora shares how deeply held cultural values once made her hesitant to ask questions or speak up during medical appointments, fearing it would seem disrespectful. Over time, she learned that staying silent could be dangerous – and that being an informed, engaged partner in care is not only acceptable, but vital.
Together, they make a compelling case for patient education that is clear, compassionate, and culturally responsive – so every person can feel empowered to participate in their own care.”
