6 PREFACE WHY WE MUST PRACTISE TRANSCULTURAL MEDICINE Health professionals and GPs should concern themselves with ethnicity, religion and culture as much as with the age, sex and social class of their patients. Transcultural medicine is the knowledge of medical and communication encounters between a doctor or health worker of one ethnic group and a patient of another. It embraces the physical, psychological and social aspects of care as well as the scientific aspects of culture, religion and ethnicity without getting involved in the politics of segregation or integration. English general practitioners and health professionals tend to regard everyone as English, and to assume that all patients have similar needs. Would that it were as simple as that! For economic reasons - based on supply and demand - the mass migration of working populations from the new Commonwealth countries, along with their dependent relatives (including their parents) to Britain took place during one decade - the 1960s. Broadly speaking, the workers were in their thirties and forties, and their dependent parents were in their fifties and sixties. All these will, of course, be 30 years older in the 1990s. In fact, general practitioners and hospital consultants will see increasing numbers of people from ethnic minority groups, along with the indigenous populations. The needs of these ethnic minority citizens will differ considerably from those of the ethnic majority groups because of their different cultures, religions and ethnicity. Many doctors are scarcely aware of this trend at present; but lack of vocal demand does not mean absence of need. TRANSCULTURAL MEDICINE Science variables should be understood to include age, sex, social class, race, religion and culture; how can anyone call himself a scientific worker if he accepts the first three and disregards the latter variables? A multicultural approach in medicine helps in the identification, quantification and management of the problems of multi-ethnic patients, especially the elderly and women who are most likely to adhere to their own culture. Even those easterners who become westernised hardly ever change their religion and surely retain their ethnic characteristics. PREFACE vii
7 "Measure what is measurable and make measurable what is not" (Galileo). My observations, made over 25 years in this less-researched area, are now open to peer audit. I do not plead for anyone ethnic population or belong to any pressure group, but solely stress the need for understanding during a crosscultural consultation in a medical setting. WHAT'S NEW? In this book some problems of patients from different ethnic backgrounds will be identified and quantified so as to help British health professionals and GPs - during history-taking, clinical examination, investigations and diagnosis, drug therapy and general consultation - with a clear indication of what doctors should do differently as a result of seeing how things can go wrong or be misunderstood in a particular case. Categorisation or generalisation is the only way to measure facts and populations. Nevertheless, there remains the need to be flexible when categorising because there will be exceptions to every rule. While giving plenty of factual details, I shall be very careful when general ising about ethnic minorities as they may well differ as much between groups as they do from indigenous British people. There is more to good quality of care than trying to save everybody's time and money. The essence of good practice must be to tailor appropriate and sensitive care to an individual situation. The art of general practice and health care goes beyond the textbooks. There is much literature on the medical model (physical, psychological and social) and, currently, increasing information is available on one-ethnic studies. This book should be considered as an addition to the existing knowledge. Properly practised, Transcultural Medicine highlights the interface between various cultures, asks no-one to change personal views and stays clear of discrimination, either positive or negative. It simply suggests ways of improving the quality of care by distinguishing varying needs in a cross-cultural contact, whether during a ten-minute consultation or an hour-long medical examination. We can solve problems only if we can talk about them calmly. I should welcome communication from any readers who may have different observations. Here is an opportunity for mutual learning!
