Pearson

Medical sociology is the third largest specialty within sociology. The breadth of inquiry available within this topic area is wide and varied. Examples of questions with potential for a sociological explanation are: Why is the U.S. the only industrialized nation without universal health care? Why are doctors charged with saving lives yet left questioning the quality of that life? This book expands these questions and many others by comparative explanations. Each chapter acquaints the reader with research and outcomes not only from the United States and the industrialized world, but also from developing countries as well, utilizing race, class, age, and gender frameworks. For anyone interested in heath, medicine, and sociology, particularly from a global perspective.
