Heidi Watson NIFL-Workplace Co-Moderator -------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 13:57:22 -0500 (EST) From: Helen Osborne <Helen@healthliteracy.com> Reply-To: nifl-health@literacy.nifl.gov To: Multiple recipients of list <nifl-health@literacy.nifl.gov> Subject: [NIFL-HEALTH:2114] Invited Guest Last month, many of you shared your thoughts and ideas about NIFL-Health. You spoke highly about this discussion group, and said you value it as a forum to interact with colleagues at all levels of expertise. You also gave some specific suggestions to improve NIFl-Health, and one was to invite special guests to the list, as we have done in the past. Great news! Anne Fadiman, author or "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" and "Ex Libris" has agreed to contribute to our discussion. For those of you who are not familiar with her work, "The Spirit Catches You." 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. 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 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. A one-time only guest is a new model for our discussion group - and hopefully will be a workable way to "converse" with a noted author. Together, let's make it work!
