	Medicine and Medicine men among Indians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Medicine is an agent or influence employed to prevent, alleviate, or cure some pathological condition or its symptoms.
		Occasionally the term “medicine” is extended to a higher class of greatly prized fetishes that are supposed to be imbued with mysterious protective power over an individual or even over a tribe.
		In every Indian tribe there were, and in some tribes still are, a number of men, and perhaps also a number of women, who were regarded as the possessors of supernatural powers that enabled them to recognise, antagonise, or cure disease; and there were others who were better acquainted with actual remedies than the average.

	Medicine man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "medicine man" suffers from being a term applied to a central figure in Native American community life by people of a radically different culture, a culture whose members might easily conceive the Native American practices to be antithetical to their own deeply held religious beliefs.
		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.
		On the contrary, most medicine men and women study their art either through a medicine society such as the Navajo Blessingway, or the Ani-Stohini/Unami Morning Song Way or apprentice themselves to a teacher for twenty-35 years or both.

		For example, men take more health risks than women and make far fewer visits to healthcare professionals throughout most of their lives.
		Thus, the major challenges to primary care physicians are getting men into the office and dealing with their healthcare needs effectively once they are there.
		Any upturn in men's visits to their primary care physician in recent years is largely due to increasing concerns about erectile dysfunction and patient expectations for drugs to treat it.

		Experimenters delving into the subject, taking account of the fact that most persons recovered from their ills in time, set out to learn whether the followers of healing cults recovered more rapidly than the non-believers and their experiments are said to have borne out the belief that they do.

		As is characteristic of Adams's previous work, the characters of Medicine Men are drawn with an acute eye for exquisite detail, as well as a genuine compassion for the human condition.
		The pacing and texture of this latest work feels very much like her excellent early short stories, and one is amazed upon reaching the end that it is, indeed a novel.
		Medicine Men is yet another example of Adams's ability to reflect back to us the surprisingly small worlds we construct for our comfort, showing us clearly the invisible walls we throw up against the vastness of the world beyond.
