DEDICATION:
The Polynesian Samoan Hawaiian medical terms in books "POLYNESIAN INTERCONNECTIONS" are dedicated
to the late Paramount Ali'i Lei'ataua Le Sa Peter Lei'ataua Ah Ching of Upolu, Manono, Samoa, Hawai'i nei and Pago Pago, American
Samoa, whom was hospitalized at Straub Medical Clinic Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii 2003. This knowledge of medical Polynesian
terminology is disseminated for the education of nurses and doctors upon caring for the Polynesian people of these Polynesian
islands: Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Hawai'i and Aotearoa and the Polynesian triangle at large. Knowledge and a willingness
to learn, communicate and help patients is in essence why people become healthcare workers ideally. God bless & may all
benefit from this endeavor for effective medical care upon patients.
