Here are some suggestions on what Lia Lee's providers might have said to the Lee family to negotiate an agreement with them about Lia's treatment.
- We will try to give medication that will not interfere with the spiritual healing of the neeb.
- We will respect your wish to change Lia's name and will now call her Kou.
- We will reduce the dosage of medication that causes unwanted side effects-but it will not be possible to completely eliminate side effects.
- We will work in cooperation with your traditional healers.
- We will show respect for your beliefs-that seizures are related to spirituality, that the amulet with herbs around Lia's neck provides special protection, that Lia needs care from a neeb.
- In return for our cooperation with your beliefs, we expect that you will follow this drug regimen as we prescribe it, and we will help you do so.
