This is a 5 page paper discussing Lynn Payer�s text �Medicine & Culture�. In Lynn Payer�s text �Medicine & Culture: Varieties of Treatment in the United States, England, West Germany, and France� first published in 1988, Payer discusses the radical differences in diagnosis, treatment and philosophy in regards to similar cases within those countries. What is interesting to the reader is that while all of the countries examined are considered to be �Western� cultures, in actuality, the cultures between the countries vary to a great extent as to the outlook and philosophy of medical practices. Payer relates a great many of these cultural differences to historical trends and the general philosophies of each country when in cultural context make a great deal of sense to the reader but may not have been considered when conceptualizing his or her own reliance on the medical community in one�s own country.
