Description

Bodies at Risk offers a compelling ethnographic study of heart disease by Elizabeth Wheatley, examining how individuals navigate life after cardiac events. The research explores the profound ways heart disease reshapes daily routines, personal identity, family relationships, and professional careers following diagnosis and treatment. Through rigorous fieldwork including one-on-one interviews, collective interviews, focus groups, and participant observation conducted in hospitals and cardiac rehabilitation settings, Wheatley uncovers the complex, ongoing experiences of living with and managing heart disease. This book goes beyond medical outcomes to reveal the human dimensions of cardiac illness, addressing how people reconstruct their lives amid the uncertainty and challenges that accompany potentially life-altering health crises. Essential reading for those studying medical anthropology, sociology, and the social dimensions of health and illness.

Key Features

Bodies at Risk presents an ethnographic methodology combining one-on-one interviews, collective interviews, focus groups, and participant observation in clinical settings.

The study examines how heart disease fundamentally alters daily routines, personal identities, family dynamics, and career trajectories after diagnosis.

Published by Routledge, this academic work contributes to medical anthropology and sociology literature on chronic illness experiences.

Wheatley's research addresses the unfinished business of living with heart disease, revealing adjustment processes beyond initial treatment phases.

The book explores the intersection of personal identity, social relationships, and medical crises through qualitative research in hospital and rehabilitation environments.
