Questions:

How would you describe the "Illness Experience" of Lia Lee?

Recall that Arthur Kleinman defines Illness as "the innately human experience of symptoms and suffering" - in other words, how individuals & their social networks "perceive, live with, and respond to symptoms and disability;" including how they monitor, appraise, categorize, explain, and judge how best to cope with those symptoms & sufering (Kleinman 3).

In this case, because Lia was a child and we never truly learn of her thoughts or feelings in the book, you can focus your attention here on how her Illness was experienced by her immediate family members.

Compared to the approach/actions of people like the CPS Caseworker Jeanine Hilt (113-115), psychologist Sukey Waller (95), or even Anne Fadiman herself (Chapter 8 & elsewhere), what might the American doctors at the MCMC have done to acknowledge & address this Illness Experience as part of their practice of healing?
