Description

In Hospital Land USA, Wendy Simonds examines the expansive influence of medicalization. This work explores how medical authorities, institutions, and ideologies shape our daily experiences, culture, and social life. By documenting her own adventures in Hospital Land, Simonds provides a unique perspective on the dynamic processes of medical authority. Drawing from a diverse range of U.S. cultural representations, the book analyzes everything from memoirs and medical mail to hospital signs and disaster movies. This analysis encourages readers to think critically about conventional ideas regarding care, health, identity, and mortality. It serves as an essential resource for general readers and medical practitioners interested in the sociology of health and embodiment.
