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\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","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919549710494,"sku":"ING-9781487525811","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487525811.jpg?v=1782813661","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487525811","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
