you did not use my template I gave you?
1. Explain why Foua Yang’s birthdate may have been different
in various locations in the medical charts? Comment by
7. Bishop, Joey: You must begin assignment with introduction.
You are missing your introductory paragraph.
Lia was the second last born in a family of 15 children between
Nao Kao Lee and Foua Yang. Her birthdate set a record of first
where she was the first child of the Lee's to be born in the
hospital and being the first child of the Lee's to be born in the
American soil. Medically, the birthdate of Lia was different.
Unlike other children who Foua delivered by herself without the
help of an attendant, Lia was delivered in a hospital with
amniotic sack raptured for a quicker delivery. She was born
with 8 pounds and 7 ounces; later she was administered vitamin
K injection, silver nitrate and a bath. Her birthdate in October
was not specific only compared to opium field second wedding
season. She was given the name Lia, a Hmong name and in a
month, Nao Kao organized a soul-calling feast attended by
many Hmong’s natives.
2. Describe how the history of Hmong people, as discussed in
chapter two may have influenced Foua and Nao Kao's
perception of the physicians and nurses who appear to be in
charge of their daughter’s care?
Isolating themselves in their own culture, weathering
oppression from the Chinese and refused to adopt the Chinese
culture, the Hmong moved to Vietnam and later experiencing
the western doctors' practices in Thailand refugee camp. With a
compelling history of unique birthing customs, beliefs of spirits
and souls, the radical independent community preserved their
traditions for thousands of years through defiance to change and
a culture of creating their tragic destiny. As the physicians
diagnosed Lia with a brain disorder of epilepsy, her parents
believed it was an evil spirit which catches you, and you fall,
which is also a healing spirit, need. Nao family felt the
physicians had disregarded their customs and beliefs. The
doctors were hoping for curing the disease while the parents
regarded this as a community honor and prestige.
Furthermore, Lia's sister died in Thailand hospital, giving the
Nao family a reason to be skeptical about the doctors. They also
8. did not trust the doctors who were Christian's missionaries. The
doctors did not acknowledge traditional medicine and did not
respect customs and beliefs practices. The cutting of spirit
strings from wrists or neck wrings holding infant's living souls
by doctors and nurses, and the undermining of shamans brought
a drift between the two sides. Foua and Nao had a dozen reasons
to have a different perception on the doctors and nurses at the
Merced County Hospital.
3. How do you think to have an interpreter might have improved
the outcomes of Lia's numerous emergency room visits up to
this point?
Through her early childhood between one and five years, Lia
had visited the hospital several times. She was experiencing
seizures, breathing difficulty, foaming, vomiting back-arching,
limbs thrashing and urinating symptoms that Foua and Nao Kao
did not comprehend. Lia was attended by pediatricians, Neil
Ernst and Peggy Philip who were devoted to take proper
medical care of Lia. However, there was a communication
barrier between Lia's parents and the doctors attending to her.
In some instances, Lia's father would disagree with the
operation performed on her veins due to the overweight from
the intravenous medication side effects administered. He would
also not trust them for tying her up, and when she fell instead of
comforting her, they would cage her inside her crib. She needed
close attention from nurses, and her parents also supported her
refusal to take medication. It was unclear of her continued
seizures if it was because of underdose of prescription or
refusal to give her the medication as instructed by the doctors.
The doctors tried their best to inform Foua and Nao Kao how to
administer dosage through calendars, stickers and taped
samples. Communication was still a difficulty. The nurses
confirmed Lia was not compliant of the prescription offered.
Her condition defoliated further with symptoms of abnormal
hair growth, gums bleeding and hyperactivity led Doctor
Murphy to place her on a respirator. The Hmong's attitude on
the medication is dangerous when dealing with a doctor.
9. Symptoms of being retarded emerged, which made the doctors
frustrated by her parent. Determined to even learn the Hmong's
culture for smooth coordination with Foua and Nao Kao, Peggy
and Neil could not get the cooperation required to take care of
Lia. They began modifying their child's treatment at a critical
condition that led to the intervention of Child Protective
Services from removing her from their custody to a foster home
when it was too late. Having an interpreter could have easily
made her primary care from the parents and understanding from
the doctors a clear channel of treatment operation for Lia easy.
The communication between the parents, doctors and nurses
could have improved prescription compliance as well as
symptoms assessment.
4. Discuss the differences in conceptual frameworks that may
have led to Foua and Nao Kao and the caregivers at Merced
County hospital to misunderstand one another during Lia’s
admissions?
Medical beliefs
Hmong's medical beliefs differed by that of the doctors in
various ways. As a culture, they viewed surgery as a taboo
which Lee's disagreed with the doctors. The Lees viewed their
daughter's illness as detachment of the soul from the body,
whereas the doctors saw it as a brain disorder. This led to
noncompliance of Lia's medical treatment.
Compromise
Doctor Neil and Peggy could not compromise their medical
standards and provide less good care for their Hmong patients,
including Lia. They go the extra mile in learning Hmong culture
from National Geographic's books trying to understand their
patient's ideologies. On the other hand, Nao Kao, Hmong’s by
tradition, with a history of being stubborn to compromise over
adopting a new culture of the dominant Chinese and French
explains how the Lee family has been challenging on choosing
the western medicinal treatment for their daughter. However,
Neil's hamartia personality and ideology of being a good doctor
make him administer advanced medication to Lia. He goes
10. ahead and ensures Lia is taken from her parents to a foster home
makes him similar to the Lees inability to compromise.
Power
The Hmong’s are respectful to their power structures in terms of
family setup and clan leader's hierarchy. Doctors being learned
to view themselves as superior to their patients, therefore,
demand more respect for their views. They see Lee family as a
threat to their child wellbeing. The lees find the doctors as an
influencing power that they find it insulting to their culture.
This makes it hard for both to have a common ground on Lia's
care.
5. How may have Foua and Nao Kao experienced cultural pain
during the experience of Lia’s birth in the United States?
The Hmong’s, as a community, have faced cultural pain through
their history. They incurred fatalities during Laos's wars and
were subjected to screening for mental and contagious diseases
before migrating to the United States. Majority of the Hmong’s
suffered from ailments like diabetes caused by traumas they
endured. This caused them to pain that doctors could not be able
to treat effectively. They refused to take some medicine pills
due to size or color, and others would harm their children with
an overdose of motion sickness medicine. Their women would
deliver in hospitals believing children born at home would not
become United States citizens.
Foua suffered culturally when after giving birth to Lia, the
placenta believed to be a channel the soul travels in to reunite
with its ancestors was destroyed. By having an assistant on her
birthing made their culture of delivering her children by her
hands not practiced during Lia's birthing.
