Culture sharing: a northern experience.
This article takes the form of a hypothetical letter written by a nurse practitioner stationed in an Inuit community to a referral physician in the "south". The author explores an authentic health-care dilemma in transcultural terms, discussing a case of incest brought to light by a patient's unsuccessful attempt at suicide. The sensitivity of the health-care professional to the cultural environment is of central importance to the provision of holistic health care.
