My Scholarship entry - The Non-traditional/Traditional Healer

My curiosity got the better of me and I politely asked him what his “illness” was.  He told me he was having stomach cramps but that the western medicine was helping.  When asked if he knew what the cause was he stated that he believed it was the curse from another traditional healer who was envious of him and his power.  He said he had no qualms about mixing traditional and western medicine to fight this curse because he knew that his magic was strong enough to fight back.
