Frontier Medicine

The root meaning of the English word midwife is "with woman." Midwives were known for their knowledge and skill in an area of life that was a mystery to most people; sometimes they were thought to possess magical or mystical abilities. Written history suggests that many were revered, but others were feared, and sometimes tortured and killed.

Whatever their title, [the shaman or medicine man/woman] received what others believed was a vision or a deep spiritual insight into their patients. They never lost sight of the spiritual side of health and disease, realizing the power of the mind.

I was looking for nonfiction at the library today and couldn't resist! Any other Dr. Quinn fans out there? The range is way broader than that, but that was the draw for me. 😊
