    Explaining this situation as epilepsy led American doctors to prescribe Lia with heavy medication, raised concerns from her parents due to their different conception of their child’s illness (161). Under the veil of Hmong culture, Lia Lee’s parents understood her epilepsy as evidence of “soul loss,” which further implies possible benefits for a Hmong community in question if Lia should reach the coveted position of a shaman. Her parents’ understanding of her pain and suffering in a positive manner reflects upon their belief in a larger, spiritual order in which an individual’s body cannot be separated her culture.

As Dr. Alvord discovered, all of the aforementioned factors strengthen patient-provider relationships through cultural competence, in turn positively impacting patient outcomes and adherence to treatment.
