The medical world creates its own culture. This culture, however,
would not continue if it were not for our participation. As
consumers of health care, the way in which we talk, too, maintains
the medical culture as it is. This culture frequently dismisses the
wisdom of parents and talks them out of their own sense. We, as
parents, co-create a culture that continually diminishes us. This
collaboration has disastrous consequences for our children. How
many times have you heard about a parent having a particular
insight into his/her child only to be dissuaded from the truth by
the doctor? What Do the Doctors Say? provides stories from the
author's own experience as a mother. As a scholar of communication,
she has identified twelve language patterns that are used to create
medical culture. The book is written particularly for parents of
children with disabilities but may be a useful tool for all
consumers of health care.
