    I can not purely identify with the situation of the Lee's but can sure understand the perspective. To my understand the Lee's were ousted from having any input into the care of their daughter Lia. To me, it seems the doctors were using Lia to experiment with all different type of medications to see what would work and disregarded all the possible side effect the could arise. Lia's parent was against all the heavy medicating, but all the doctor wanted to do was keep giving her medications. The Hmong culture was not completely against biomedicine, but rather feared the negative impact it has on the human body.…

    The tragedy that befell Lia Lee, a Hmong child, was a result of a power struggle between the Hmong and western medicine physicians, cultural impasse, and a conflict between who knows what’s best for Lia. It was too late before cultural medical reform occurred that doctors were beginning to view the person with the symptoms rather than the symptoms a person has. The Hmong were on one end of the spectrum where they believed that problems of the soul manifested themselves in the body and so spiritual healing was the best form of treatment. On the other end, the doctors believed that health problems were strictly biological and should be treated with pharmaceuticals. The distance between these two sides is what led to multiple disagreements…

    My first stop on the hunt for government offices and or buildings in Snyder is the Scurry County Courthouse. I had no problem finding this building due to how it's located in the center of town and all the main roads lead to the "square" where the Courthouse is located. The buildings address is 1806 25th street. Lainey, Ellis and I met at the building so we could take pictures for each other around 5:42 p.m. and there was no one in the parking lot except our own cars, but there was a bit of business due to people getting off work. The Courthouse is surrounded by various boutiques and a business that serves ice cream and coffee.…
