After considering the role of culture in systems of health and healing, carefully reread the section “Multiple Systems of Healing” in Chapter 16. This section relates the tragic incidents of miscommunication between doctors and the Lee family. Compare this to the traditional medical practices you observe in the film clip, “The Most Distant Places.” In both cases, is health simply the absence of disease? What do you think of the Andean definition of health? Some traditional practices, such as “guinea pig diagnosis” may seem farfetched. How did the Western-trained doctors respond to the differences in medical practices in both cases? What do you think Western-trained doctors could learn from traditional healers? How is power a factor in these interactions? Use the film clip, “Laid to Waste” to help you think about how power dynamics influence health situations.
