The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, And The Collision Of Two Cultures (Fsg Classics) By Anne Fadiman (2012-04-24)

Nuland, The New Republic?The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down changed how doctors see themselves and how they see their patients. Anne Fadiman celebrates the complexity and the individuality of the human interactions that make up the practice of medicine while simultaneously pointing out directions for change and breaking readers' hearts with the tragedies of cultural displacement, medical limitations, and futile good intentions.? ?Perri Klass, M.D., author of A Not Entirely Benign ProcedureAbout the AuthorAnne Fadiman
