Trade Review"A must-read book for any healthcare professional. . . . It should be in every hospital library." *
Caregiver Journal *
"Large urban hospitals are chaotic places, and cultural misunderstandings do not enhance the care given in them. Galanti not only reports these cases but offers insightful ways of handling the problems they illustrate." *
American Anthropologist *
"An excellent book to hand to medical colleagues who understand little of cultural sensitivity (and claim they have little time to learn), and it would be an important addition to any hospital library or reading room." *
