The Hmong, traditionally a close-knit and fiercely independent people, have been less amenable to assimilation than most immigrants, adhering steadfastly to the rituals and beliefs of their ancestors. Lia's pediatricians, Neil Ernst and his wife, Peggy Philip, cleaved just as strongly to another tradition: that of Western medicine. When Lia Lee entered the American medical system, diagnosed as an epileptic, her story became a tragic case history of cultural miscommunication.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures | Anne Fadiman | Paperback | 9780374525644 | Used: Good | Back Stacks R 1758941","offer_id":49192320794776,"sku":"1758941","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71b2Gl9TIUL.jpg?v=1780517189","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/spirit-catches-you-and-you-fall-down-a-hmong-child-her-american-doctors-and-the-collision-of-two-cultures","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
