The inspiration for this work came during earlier research into the history of the British imperial presence in Tibet.At the Tibetan exile centre of Dharamsala, Westerners could be seen attending the Tibetan Traditional Medicine hospital while Tibetans could be seen attending biomedical Delek hospital.Despite this empirical observation, the existing literature concerning 'Tibetans' and 'medicine' dealt almost exclusively with Traditional Medicine.Given that this use of biomedicine was clearly common throughout the Tibetan cultural world, a study of how that pattern of resort arose was an obvious lacuna in the field.This study was undertaken in the UK, the Netherlands, US, India, and Bhutan
