Recensioner i media

Winner of The Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize 2009 '[T]his book is a luminous example of the ethnographic method in healthcare research, of the power of observation and the salience of situated knowledges which the approach makes visible. It is most closely and faithfully observed, offering great detail and precision, while at the same time being written in a flowing and accessible style which engages the reader, drawing us into the action.' - Maggie Mort, Dept of Sociology & Division of Medicine, Lancaster University
