Despite its frequency, medical error has been largely invisible to the mainstream public. Within the medical system itself, medical error is often understood as the result of an isolated case of malpractice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhen Medicine Goes Awry\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the causes of medical error are not an anomaly but rather the outcome of a number of factors at play, ranging from political to social to economic. \u003ci\u003eWhen Medicine Goes Awry\u003c\/i\u003e dismisses the common blame perspective associated with medical malpractice, instead asserting that medical error is - and will continue to be - inevitable, given the relentless and expanding processes of medicalization. Shedding light on the ways these forces lead to medicine going awry, the book examines seven well-known cases of medical error. Taking an in-depth look at both patients and medical care providers, Juanne Nancarrow Clarke offers a novel approach to medical error or mishap that applies sociological research and theory to the larger societal forces contributing to a taxing and endemic medical problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juanne Nancarrow Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487525818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487525811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022","brand":"Juanne Nancarrow Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993360761087,"sku":"9781487525811","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b097f45d-7ace-440c-9f21-ade74309eb85.jpg?v=1683323918","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-medicine-goes-awry-juanne-nancarrow-clarke-9781487525811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
