An incredibly fascinating account of culture clash between Western medicine and the belief system of the Hmong people of Laos. It deals specifically with a Hmong child who has severe epilepsy, but it also goes into depth about Hmong history and beliefs. This is neither a fast or light read, but if you have the motivation you will learn a great deal.
