...Naw Hpaw Dr. James Sanders ENG101, 7:00 am 8 June 2016 Disappointing Moment in My Life Having worked three years as coordinator at the Karen Peace Support Initiative (Burma), a non-government organization that helps resettle displaced persons, I firmly believed I could communicate effectively with grass roots people and my superiors.

Suddenly, in a very loud voice, my manager called me into his office where he was checking a report I had given him previously. As I stood beside him, his hand clutched a cup of coffee, while the other held my report. I remember the black jacket and shoes, and glasses, he was wearing. After several minutes, he put my report down and exchanged the coffee cup for a bowl of noodle soup. I thought he would explain why he called me, but he said nothing.

I received much detail about symptoms, treatments, and continuing processes they do to prevent the ailment from reoccurring. After a thorough investigation, I was able to compare the informant’s ailments and remedies against each other and also to Marsha Quilan’s research in her ethnography From the Bush: The Front Line of Health Care in a Caribbean Village. Informant 1, an 18 year old male, recently suffered from an ear infection. This informant has suffered from ear infections most of his toddler life. As a young child, at the age of 19 months, this informant got PE tubes inserted into bilateral ears, yet the ear infections kept reoccurring. That is when his mother began to use natural garlic oil to treat his ear infections. After the first time using it, this informant claims he never had to go to the doctor again for treatment, and his ear infections occurred less frequently and eventually subsided. The most recent infection this informant battled with was pretty typical for him. He got his usual symptoms of a mild earache accompanied with some purulent discharge from his left ear canal. This informant told me that he did not want to use antibiotics to remedy his ear infections. He deferred to his mother’s treatment of using a couple drops of garlic oil. This informant administered a couple drops of natural...
