Abstract
The role of cultural diversities in doctor’s everyday work is going more and more important in globalised world,
therefore it draws lots of attention in literature. Cultural differences that exist between people, such as language, dress
and traditions, are usually distinguished from the term cultural diversity which is mainly understood as having different
cultures respect each other’s differences. The great effort is made to educate culturally competent practitioners, nurses
or doctors. The presented case of lady from Janjevo was a good role model for work with all patients with culturally different
background coming to family practice. This lady example could also help to other colleagues to learn from experience
on systematic way.
