Discussion:
1. As far back as historians can trace, recovery from illness was expected and usual - it made very little difference what mode of treatment was used. What do you think about this? How does this show a difference between curing and HEALING?
2. The use of traditional to connote modern healthcare is a misnomer as modern, allopathic, healthcare is a new science and has been passed down in writing for a relatively short amount of time, rather than orally over many generations. What do you think about this? How does this affect your view of modern healthcare?
3. What does cultural competence mean to you? How do you know when you are culturally competent?
