Question

Briefly discuss how the beliefs of medical doctors may be influenced by their cultures.

Answer 1

Health related practices differ significantly across cultures depending on one’s beliefs, customs and practices. These cover a wide variety of areas such as one’s perception of health, healthy eating, healthy living etc., one’s belief about diseases and getting treatment, impact of illness and pain and the types of treatment patients prefer. All these parameters fit the doctors too because they are the product of their culture. This would help them identify, recommend and implement all the best practices or different practices that they think would help them.
