I could hear their pain and discomfort. As the nurse called my name I got a sick feeling in my gut and knew this wasn't going to end well.

When I was reading and trying to imagine “Nacirema’s Body Ritual” for the first time I couldn’t relate with any aspect of the culture. I found the Nacirema’s cultural practices as estrange behaviors. This culture was very distant, unusual and different from mine.

myself. I have an eager passion to pursue a career in medicine. As far as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a doctor.
