Abstract:
In the current era of increasing emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and equity, it is of utmost importance for vascular surgeons to be cognizant of the increasingly diverse population in the United States. We should try our best to ensure the same quality of vascular care to all our patients, regardless of their backgrounds. It is humanly impossible to expect any of us to have a deep understanding of all the cultures, and that is not the point of this essay. The key lesson from this essay is that we should be able to recognize that patients from different backgrounds may have different expectations from us and we should try to meet those expectations to the best of our abilities.
