Empathic, unusual, and nothing less than beautiful in description, scope and nuance, "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" provides profound insight into American and Hmong medicine, human needs and antipathies, and the dangers and opportunities of multiculturalism. Indispensable for anyone working in medicine, policy or public health. Highly recommended for everyone else.
