Imagine that you are attending a conference in which a physician in private practice presents a paper lamenting the tendency of elderly African Americans to delay seeking medical care and their low rates of compliance with recommended treatment.
Medical schools pay very little attention to the study of folk medicines.
You are at a conference on medical innovations and the speaker discusses how the practice of folk medicine interferes with practicing healthful behaviors, especially among people of color. Summarize what the authors say and compare their cultural perspectives on aging and health.
