Opis

What defines the limits of our belief and, ultimately, compassion, when it comes to disease?

This book draws upon patients’ experiences and situates them among diverse literatures, from the history and philosophy of medicine to the sociology of health and disease.

O autorze

Harry Quinn Schone brings clarity to the blurry edges of disease, where biology and social factors collide. He is particularly interested in the epistemic conflicts present in contested illnesses, and the consequences of such tussles on patients.
