Bought for a class, but it turned into an entertainment read

Wow! What a great book. If you wanted to learn about how cultures conflict and how a person was able to utilize the differences into becoming a better physician, this is the book to show you. I am very, very pleased with this purchase. Thank you Dr. Arviso for a wonderful book and a great learning experience.
Enjoyed

A melding of cultures and traditions in the medical world: insights from the first Navajo woman surgeon.
Howard Aldrich✓ Verified Purchase•December 23, 2016
An amazing book giving insight into a Navajo woman who defied tradition and became a renown surgeon. She has also set-up programs around the country at different colleges to encourage the enrollment and retention of Native Americas. The story is well-written and with insight into the Navajo world. The author has combined the learning of western medicine with Navajo culture and traditions in a most-positive way and offers suggestions as to how physicians can combine traditional medicine with western medicine.
Really amazing

wonderful story about a Navajo physician and her experiences with being both a Navajo and a doctor and trying to deal with the conflicts of modern medicine and cultural believes while trying to give her patients the best medical care. I took a class in Holism and Healthcare and this is one of the books that we used. Great book.
