Description

Challenging Medicine by Routledge offers a provocative examination of contemporary changes within health services and their profound impact on medical professionals' status and practice. This book presents a lively re-appraisal of modern medicine as a powerful institution, exploring how advanced drugs and surgical techniques promise to relieve suffering and improve quality of life, whilst acknowledging the significant costs borne by governments, insurance companies and individuals. The work critically analyses tensions within healthcare delivery, examining how medical systems sometimes appear insensitive to patient needs despite their therapeutic capabilities. Ideal for students, practitioners and academics in medical anthropology, sociology and healthcare policy, this Routledge publication addresses topical and controversial issues surrounding health service restructuring and professional practice in contemporary medicine.
