Description
PLEASE NOTE THE SUBTITLE FOR THIS BOOK MUST NOT APPEAR IN ANY PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL Recent years have seen the development of a sociology of medical knowledge including the construction of medical opinion, the fabric of medical discourse, and the medical construction of the body. Medical Talk and Medical Work both assesses and contributes to this sociological understanding of medical practice. Underlying the analysis is research on the work of haematologists, offering a rich resource for understanding the complexities and contradictions between physical bodies and social embodiment, medical talk and technical apparatus. Using but moving beyond this specific material, Paul Atkinson demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of the existing understanding of medical knowledge. Among the isssues explored are: the place of interaction among doctors, rather than between doctors and patients, in defining the construction of medical knowledge; the ways in which clinical opinion is socially produced and the nature of the local settings through which this process occurs; and the relations among medical knowledge, medical language, and the increasingly technological context of contemporary medical practice.Medical Work and Medical Talk will be essential reading for students and researchers in the sociology of health an medicine and the developing sociology of the body. It will also be of interest to all those interested in the medical professions and in the mediation of knowledge through language.
