1) I think an ideal physician patient relationship would be for the physician and patient to be able to get along and connect with each other.
2) The cultural information doctors should know about their patients is what they believe in and what their tribal cultural doesn’t allow for them to do because it’s against their beliefs.
3) The questions doctors should ask their Native patients what their beliefs are and how ask them how the doctor can work with beliefs to make the Native patient comfortable.
4) I’ve known my friends mom who had a bad experience with one of her old physicians he talked bad about her son and the sons father. She said it was more hurtful because the father was no longer with them. They do not use that physician anymore.
