The first Navajo woman surgeon combines western medicine and traditional healing. A spellbinding journey between two worlds, this remarkable book describes surgeon Lori Arviso Alvord's struggles to bring modern medicine to the Navajo reservation in Gallup, New Mexico--and to bring the values of her people to a medical care system in danger of losing its heart. Dr. Alvord left a dusty reservation in New Mexico for Stanford University Medical School, becoming the first Navajo woman surgeon. Rising above the odds presented by her own culture and the male-dominated world of surgeons, she returned to the reservation to find a new challenge. In dramatic encounters, Dr. Alvord witnessed the power of belief to influence health, for good or for ill. She came to merge the latest breakthroughs of medical science with the ancient tribal paths to recovery and wellness, following the Navajo philosophy of a balanced and harmonious life, called Walking in Beauty. And now, in bringing these principles to the world of medicine, The Scalpel and the Silver Bear joins those few rare works, such as Healing and the Mind, whose ideas have changed medical practices-and our understanding of the world.Binding Type: Paperback

Divider doesn’t work
Color: Stainless Steel
Size is great. Quality is great except for the divider, which doesn’t work at all. It’s too loose and doesn’t stay on

Something I never knew I needed, and now can’t live without!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
Absolutely perfect, high quality organizer. I was constantly reaching under the kitchen cupboards for sponges and drain stoppers which then cluttered up the sink while letting them dry before putting away. I love the size and option to put the basket on the outside edge for more space. It holds everything I need. I especially like the stone underneath so I can place it anywhere and not have to worry about a drain spout. Keeps my sink and counters clean and organized and looks great in my kitchen.

Best kitchen caddy!
Color: Black, Size: Large
This is the best kitchen caddy. It works well on the edge of my sink. It's a little bigger than I thought. My measurements were off, not there's. I propped up one side and it works beautifully. It holds all the sponges, soap, and cleaning utensils needed to clean your dishes. Now my kitchen sink is clutter-free. It also looks great!
