questions
At what point do people realize that holistic healers within their culture can not fix all their medical issues and do you think that if there was a sooner realization that the mortality rates within the cultures would change due to having proper medical intervention.
Do you think that health care professionals experience compassion burnout due having to provide compassionate care very frequently?
Why is some stigmas rooted as the person having poor moral choices even when the stigma has been proved wrong?
Interesting Idea
I think that there needs to be public programs that are present that can help destigmatize certain diseases such as HIV/AIDS so that people can be properly educated on the subject so that they do associate this disease with being a promiscuous person.
I think that other cultures need to realize that there are benefits to having western medicine incorporated into their cultural healing practices. By allowing other cultures have their healing practices into their medical care it can allow for their wishes to be followed. If there were ways that were set up to balance western medicine and the cultural healing practice within a hospital it can allow for the patient feeling like they are being heard about their wishes.
I think that is would be beneficial to have a protocol within the healthcare organizations that can allow for providers to feel more comfortable asking about patient's religious beliefs such as putting it on medical intake sheet and allowing for the patient to put their religious wishes onto the paperwork.
Learning outlook
As someone who has heard of stigmas and the disease that are associated with it, I never realized how deeply rooted they were within a society and how my unconscious bias on others who suffer from this stigmatized disease was present when I would hear of someone having it.

Connections
When looking at the compassionate care it is important to realize that different cultures have different healing practices this can mean that some of procedures, they would like to try with natural healers instead of going to western medicine therefore it is essential to ask the patient about their wishes before assuming.
There is ritual performance that are done by shamans two elicit a response by the person being healed such as ritual song that invoke spiritual powers, music that invoke chants, a ritual sequence.

By connecting all aspects of self-such as physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of a personal it can allow for compassionate care to be delivered how it supposed to by serving every aspect of the person instead of objectively looking at the patient for a problem that needs solved.
If a disease looks like an embodiment of a culturally define malevolence of some king, people, react to it regardless of whether the victim is held at fault. Due to the presence of the disease being seen it make people assume that the person is at fault for the disease. This occurs often when it comes to disease such as cold sores where people assume that the persons behavior had led to them getting this virus which could be untrue, and they could have contracted it from their parents.

When something poor occurs to you it can be seen as a force acting upon you within a culture such as in the Latino population thinking that someone getting cancer mean a consequence of them doing something bad. Due to this ideology, it can lead to someone believing that they are deserving of their health issue and must live with it as a consequence of their actions. Which is the true reason of why a person not getting cancer since cancer is a mutation of cells not from bad actions.
There can be moral judgement with respect to causes of disease at the societal level where social division can contribute to who get sick and who doesn't. This can be seen in the social determinants of health where environmental factors can lead to poor health outcomes. In general people who live in a poor community have worse health outcomes.
Shamans are able to have physiological effect on the people that they treat\ showing that their healing techniques are working and having effects on the body which can bring to light aspects of healing that western medicine may miss and can be incorporated into cases that may seem unsolvable with no explanation on what is happening within the body.
I think that an important connection between religious practices and compassionate care is realizing that not all patients practice the same religion at the same level which means that you should never assume instead by addressing the patient on their religious needs instead of grouping them with others in their religion can promote more patient centered care.
The aspects that biomedical and traditional medicine can bring for an individua's can be very different but that does not invalidate the value that they both have upon someone's health.
