I read with great interest the commentary by Dr. Khan and her notes of some of the contributions of Muslim women and men to the history of medicine and to our profession. We who were trained in the “western” tradition must recognize by now that the narrow vision we have often been given of the history of medicine as a western (white European or "best" of all British or American) project is false and perpetuates racial stereotypes. Let’s recognize our biases and do our best to correct them. The onus is on us.
