Reseña del editor
An appealing memoir of Alvord's progress from Navajo village child to become the first woman surgeon from her tribe. She describes her early years, her experiences at Dartmouth, her decision to go to medical school (at Stanford), cultural obstacles to becoming a doctor (including the Navajo reluctance to invade another's privacy), and the growth and evolution of her own appreciation of Navajo medical practices, especially as they fill gaps in conventional medicine that neglect understanding of the whole person who is seeking healing.

But Lori Arviso Alvord would leave the traditional hogans of her people to attend the prestigious Stanford University Medical School and become the first Navajo woman surgeon. Only after conquering the high-tech realm of the operating room would this extraordinarily talented doctor realize something was missing from contemporary medical care--an understanding of the whole person who has come seeking healing.
The Scalpel and the Silver Bear tells of Dr. Alvord's pioneering journey to become a woman surgeon, fighting the odds pre
