In Lifelines Harris Solomon takes readers into the trauma ward of
one of Mumbai's busiest public hospitals, narrating the stories of
the patients, providers, and families who experience and care for
traumatic injuries due to widespread traffic accidents. He traces
trauma's moves after the accident: from scenes of road and railway
injuries to ambulance interiors; through emergency triage, surgery,
and intensive care; and from the morgue for patients who do not
survive into the homes of those who do. These pathways reveal how
trauma shifts inequalities, infrastructures, and institutions
through the lives and labors of clinical spaces. Solomon contends
that medicine itself must be understood in terms of lifelines:
patterns of embodied movement that determine survival. In
reflecting on the centrality of traffic to life, Lifelines explores
a fundamental question: How does medicine move us?
