[84] The conjuncture of views and propositions on integration or collaboration suggests what is really at work is a recasting or reduction of indigenous medicine as a mechanical, lifeless, and inhuman adjunct to biomedicine with a "one-size-fits-all" approach that neglects the fact that physiologically, emotionally, spiritually, and ideationally no two human beings are the same.
It also takes on a certain amount of thematic force from the energy that results from the compression of ideationally relevant material in Holinshed; and it proves to have a theatrical logic when it is echoed in the physical coffin in the final scene.
