Making connections between different ways of knowing and doing


In the above framework of what is just one stream of healthcare delivery among other delivery frameworks, we cite below a patient centered example of another closely related healthcare delivery framework that the British subjugated 200 years back and the following description of the patient problem representation has been shared in an empathic narrative format by a research scholar of that original Indian stream:

The above narrative reveals an Indian patient's 'quest' for cure taking him away from mainstream medicine and making him embrace other streams, including Ayurveda and finding a respite although short lived as it worsens again and makes him again having to approach mainstream medical practitioners who have the dominant hold on a large number of delivery modalities that are often related to non pharmacological engineering  technology for example putting an endoscope into the patient's colon or getting a diagnostic imaging and as a result of that hold they are able to also institute therapies that are manufactured by the ruling big pharma drug industry.

Here is another Indian patient narrative
