What is the ideal physician relationship for you?

The ideal relationship for me is for there to be a connection.  You have to be able to trust the person that is taking care of you and treating you for any sickness.  I would have to comfortably trust them with my life because that is basically what they are in charge of.

Good and bad experiences your family has had with the medical field.

There has not really been any bad experiences other then the sicknesses that could not be helped in my family.  The doctors that have worked with my family have always been very considerate and caring.

What cultural information should doctors know about their patients?

Before anything, doctors should know the background of the patient.l Not only where they come from but also the medical history behind the family.  Some cultures are more prone to certain diseases and sicknesses just because of the way they evolved. 

What questions should doctors ask about Native culture and health?

Many Native families have diabetes in their family.  This is very important for doctors to ask about because there is a very high chance that the patient could also have the diabetes.  Doctors should ask about heart problems and any other kind of disease.
