Description

Explore the transformation of healthcare through the eyes of Nancy Tomes in Remaking the American Patient. This work from the University of North Carolina Press examines how the twentieth century saw the rise of the consumer economy alongside the evolution of modern medicine. Instead of looking at medical advancements alone, this history looks at how advertising, marketing, and public relations changed the way people interact with doctors and hospitals. Tomes investigates the shift from being a patient to being a consumer of health services. By tracing the development of the medical profession alongside Madison Avenue, the book explores what it means to be a good patient in a society that treats health care as a marketplace. It is a deep look at the coevolution of American medicine and the consumer economy, providing necessary context for understanding how we view medical care today.
