Answer:

The conflict between the Hmong family and their American doctors was over different understandings of seizures. The Hmong family viewed seizures as SPIRITUAL, but American doctors viewed seizures as PHYSICAL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hmong family considers it as spiritual using the term to quab dab peg" meaning "'the spirit catches you and you fall down.' The spirit is a soul-stealing dab; peg means to catch hold and quag means to fall hitting the ground"

The doctors considers it as physical because it is an injury to the brain that may have occurred at birth, accidents at one time or the other in life
