Modern Medicine: Lay Perspectives And Experiences de Simon J. Williams

Modern Medicine: Lay Perspectives And Experiences

Editat de Simon J. Williams, Michael Calnan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 1996
Do lay people view modern medicine as a fountain of hope or a font of despair? What are their experiences of modern medical care and technology, and how do their views and experiences differ across different social groups? Combining theoretical insights with a range of qualitative and ethnographic research, this volume examines lay experiences and evaluation of medicines and drugs, chronic illness and life-saving technology, and reproductive technologies. It also considers the growing popularity of complementary therapies as a potential challenge to orthodox medicine.
