"My 'healing knowledge' derived from three years' experience, while
in college, working for tuition money as an attendant at the University
of Virginia hospital, and three more years, during graduate school, on
an ambulance crew in Madison, Wisconsin. I carried with me, in Mueda, an
Emergency Medical Technician's jump kit and a copy of WHERE THERE IS NO
DOCTOR (Werner, Thuman, and Maxwell 1992), and I treated those who came
to me so long as I was competent to do so."
Harry G. West, Ethnographic Sorcery.
