Recent studies into the experiences and failures of health care
services, along with the rapid development of patient advocacy,
consumerism and pressure groups have led historians and social
scientists to engage with the issue of the medical complaint. As
expressions of dissatisfaction, disquiet and failings in service
provision, past complaining is a vital antidote to progressive
histories of health care. This book explores what has happened
historically when medicine generated complaints. This
multidisciplinary collection comprises contributions from leading
international scholars and uses new research to develop a
sophisticated understanding of the development of medicine and the
role of complaints and complaining in this story. It addresses how
each aspect of the medical complaint - between sciences,
professions, practitioners and sectors; within politics, ethics and
regulatory bodies; from interested parties and patients - has
manifested in modern medicine, and how it has been defined, dealt
with and resolved. A critical and interdisciplinary humanities and
social science perspective grounded in historical case studies of
medicine and bioethics, this volume provides the first major and
comprehensive historical, comparative and policy-based examination
of the area. It will be of interest to historians, sociologists,
legal specialists and ethicists interested in medicine, as well as
those involved in healthcare policy, practice and management.
