	Medicine man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary function of these "medicine men" (who are not always male) is to secure the help of the spirit world, including the Great Spirit (Wakan Tanka in the language of the Lakota Sioux), for the benefit of the community.
		So the term "medicine man" is not entirely inappropriate, but it greatly oversimplifies and also skews the depiction of the people whose role in society complements that of the chief.
		The term medicine man was also frequently used by Europeans to refer to African shamans, also known as "witch doctors" or "fetish men".

	‘Medicine Man’ (PG-13)
		When we first see Rae Crane (Lorraine Bracco) in John McTiernan's spectacularly thrilling new movie "Medicine Man," she's strapping on a pair of boots as if she were a warrior preparing for battle.
		"Medicine Man," which was written by Tom Schulman ("Dead Poets Society") and Sally Robinson, is a unique confluence of elements: a screwball comedy, a love story, and a medical detective yarn, all in one.
		And if that weren't enough, there are scenes in "Medicine Man" -- such as the one in which she gets a buzz off an Indian concoction -- that show an equal talent for comedy.

	My Encounter with a Medicine Man by Dan Wagner, Point of Light Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The shaman was preparing a batch of ayahuasca to treat a local tribal woman who had been afflicted with recurrent "bad dreams." That evening, after the mixture had cooked for 12 hours, he would drink the potion with the woman, stay with her all through the night, and hopefully cure her by morning.
		What frequently ensues is that one or two generations adopt the new medicines, and years later when the new-found religion has lost its luster and the people wish to revert to the traditional ways, many of the old healers have passed on and the old medicine has been forgotten.
		For example, if a particular plant in the forest is medicinally used for parasites, and is prepared by making a tea, the healer would attest that the plant would not work as a medicine unless the proper prayer was spoken as the plant was being pulled from the ground.
