I attended a research colloquium meeting yesterday at our local university. The topic was "cultural competence" in providing health care. It was put on and attended by MD's and PhD nurses. Anyway, instead of discussing how to provide good care by taking into account cultural differences in patients (what I thought the topic was going to be), the afternoon was spend tossing around the topic of "distributive justice" and health care.
