Two female healthcare providers are walking through the hospital and notice a women with a burqa, which are worn in Islamic societies. They comment that they would not want to have to wear that every day. What possible assumptions are these healthcare providers making? If you were engaged in this discussion how might you better have this conversation?
ln the above scenario healthcare workers are making assumptions on the cloths the woman is wearing. They are making a notion that the woman wearing the burqa must not be comfortable in it. They are assuming that her dressing sense is not good enough qnd she is being forced to do so.
If I were in the discussion I would not be commenting on anybody's dressing style. As burqa is tied to religious customs I woukd respect her religion. Every healthcare worker should respect patient's religion and treat them equally I would not make any assumptions regarding her religious choice and will respect it.
