摘要：

When patients and health-care workers come from different cultural backgrounds, they interact under the influence of unspoken assumptions about health care that are so far apart they may prevent effective communication. This paper explores the capacity of Western bioethics to adapt to the realities of increasingly culturally pluralistic societies such as those of North America.
