对乌干达病人来说，找到一条通过卫生设施的路并不一定是一件容易的事。如果我们只关注临床遭遇的认知水平，那么我们对人们如何成功地做到这一点以及他们在途中遇到的障碍的理解是不完整的。公共卫生和医学人类学的许多研究都隐含着这样一个概念，即能动性位于头脑中，认知理解是实践的先决条件。基于乌干达东部的材料，本文探讨了乌干达患者及其亲属的实践经验，并反思了这种代理概念经常使我们混淆观众的观点与演员的观点的方式。因此，正如皮埃尔·布迪厄所说，我们被迫寻找“实践从未问过的问题的答案，因为它没有必要问这些问题”。"
Finding one's way through a health facility is not necessarily an easy task for Ugandan patients. Our understanding of how people succeed in doing so, and of the obstacles they encounter on their way, is incomplete if we focus only on the cognitive level of the clinical encounter. Much research in public health and medical anthropology implicitly works with the notion that agency is located in the mind and that cognitive understanding is a precondition for practice. Based on material from eastern Uganda, this article explores the practical experience of Ugandan patients and their relatives and reflects upon the ways in which this notion of agency has often caused us to confuse the spectator's point of view with the actor's point of view. Thus, as Pierre Bourdieu has argued, we are made to look for answers to "questions that practice never asks because it has no need to ask them."
