The Scapel and the Silver Bear: The First Navajo Woman Surgeon Combines Western Medicine and Traditional Healing - Hardcover
Synopsis
An appealing memoir of Alvord's progress from Navajo village child to become the first woman surgeon from her tribe. She describes her early years, her experiences at Dartmouth, her decision to go to medical school (at Stanford), cultural obstacles to becoming a doctor (including the Navajo reluctance to invade another's privacy), and the growth and evolution of her own appreciation of Navajo medical practices, especially as they fill gaps in conventional medicine that neglect understanding of the whole person who is seeking healing.
