Remorse?

This is strange...
I am feeling a bit of remorse right now.  I just sent a document to a colleague in Nepal to ask her about some genetic concepts and terms.  I asked her some questions and am really hoping that she can give me a hand with this.  I need to know that I will not using inappropriate terminology or saying offensive things to the medical students at PAHS.  I also want to make sure that I will be teaching the material within the Nepali context, experience and reality.
Suddenly I feel like just sending the document may have been culturally insensitive.  Is that weird?  I don't think it's unreasonable to try to sort this out, but I feel a bit bad.
Just wanted to share that.
