| Annotation | Chinese people have come to the US from various parts of the world, and although they share the same roots with similarities in beliefs and values, there are differences within the group dependent on their upbringing. Because of language barriers and cultural differences, many health care providers in the US experience difficulties when trying to discuss issues such as end-of-life decisions. The author suggests how these problems might be sensitively tackled. (RH). |
