- Initially, it discusses a circular published in 1997, which addresses the problems faced by undocumented immigrants in France and the problems they face getting medical treatment, which eventually went on to turn in to law and improve the welfare of ill illegal residents.

The author argues that a patient's narrative regarding his or her medical history can vary significantly and be affected by his or her culture.
