I discovered this sliding scale and its verbiage via via the Philly Death Doula Collective, who found it via the Andean Medicine for Liberation workshop hosted by Coca Rosa at Centro Corona. If you are aware of the original creator of this scale, please let me know as I would like to credit and/or compensate them.
