Description

Clinical trials serve as essential technologies for decision making in today's world. Their results influence medical practice and set priorities for healthcare systems globally. However, the actual work required to produce credible data often remains out of sight. Medical Proofs, Social Experiments provides a deep look into these processes. By using detailed case studies, this book argues that understanding the value of medical experiments requires looking closely at their specific contexts. It examines the diverse ways these trials involve doctors, patients, and the general public. Readers will explore the local practices that allow these experiments to reach completion. This book offers a look at the complex realities behind modern medical data production, making it a necessary read for those interested in the social and medical sciences.
