Abstract
- The article reports on the call for physicians to collaborate with traditional healers and to respect their practices in Canada as of March 2015. Topics discussed include the move of Ontario doctors to legally compel cancer treatment for a Mohawk girl with leukemia, the right of the girl's substitute decision-maker to practice traditional medicine, and the increasing view that a blend of treatments is possible. Also mentioned is the need to acknowledge the patient's contribution to healing.
