The advanced technologies being used in diagnosis and care within
modern medicine, whilst supporting and making medical practices
possible, may also conflict with established traditions of medicine
and care. What happens to the patient in a technologized medical
environment? How are doctors', nurses' and medical scientists'
practices changed when artefacts are involved? How is knowledge
negotiated, or relations of power reconfigured? Technology and
Medical Practice addresses these developments and dilemmas,
focusing on various practices with technologies within hospitals
and sociotechnical systems of care. Combining science and
technology studies with medical sociology, the history of medicine
and feminist approaches to science, this book presents analyses of
artefacts-in-use across a variety of settings within the UK, USA
and Europe, and will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists and
scholars of science and technology alike.
