Consent problems and the Southeast Asian refugee.
More than 24,000 refugees of Southeast Asian descent live in Wisconsin. These people, of a different cultural background with different methods of treating the sick, on occasion seek medical aid. It is incumbent on the treating physicians to understand the cultural differences and the avenues open to them to render treatment to these people. This paper reviews these concerns.
