Description
The basic purpose of this book, however, has remained unchanged since the first few ideas were set down on paper: to provide a sociological perspective and interpretation for the many facets of medicine and medical behavior. Essentially, the focus is on social interaction-between two people, the patient and the doctor; between groups of people in an organizational context, like the hospital or the medical school; and among laymen in the community. In addition, the sociological perspective is applied to medical practice as an occupation and to some economic and organizational aspects of medical care in a modern society.- Rodney M. Coe
