NIFL-Health list is going to have  Anne Fadiman, the author of book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, as a guest  on the listserv respond to questions.     This book is about "a Hmong child, her American doctors, and the collision of two
cultures" (quote on the cover of the book) and is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.  If this is of interest, read NIFL-Health

>From Helen Osborne:  Anne Fadiman, author of "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" has agreed to contribute to our discussion. There was an active discussion about this book on NIFL-Health several months ago, and the postings can be found in our archives (www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-health/health_literacy.html)
Anne Fadiman has agreed to answer up to a dozen questions about cross-cultural medical care. It seems the easiest way to make this happen is
for you to send your questions to me <Helen@healthliteracy.com> by January
17th.  I will then cluster/organize/summarize them, and forward them to Anne Fadiman. She,
then, will respond towards the end of January.
