| book description |

Originally published in 1977, this book looks at medical sociology from the inside. Each chapter has been written by sociologists who themselves were patients – participant observers. Each experienced problems and sought solutions in the health services, at the same time bringing their training in social science to the analysis of experience. This is a unique contribution to medical sociology, bringing a directness to the recorded experiences.
