Living with Nacirema

If I were to live with the Nacirema I would definitely be weary of the doctor. I don’t really believe in like voodoo stuff, so his practices would definitely not interest me. Most of what he does doesn’t even seem safe to me. Why would you stop at somebody’s cavities to extract demons? I would definitely question his actions, and I’m not sure how the tribe would react. I would feel the need to at least warn people that it is pseudoscience, or else I’d feel responsible watching people torture themselves.
