Description
The Logic of Care: Health and the problem of patient choice by Annemarie Mol explores what constitutes good care in healthcare. Mol argues that patient choice is not the key to improving healthcare, but rather undermines the way we think and act in healthcare settings.
Instead, she presents a 'logic of care' that focuses on collaborative efforts to adapt knowledge and technologies to individual needs. This approach highlights the importance of perseverance and adaptability in healthcare practices. Mol's work offers valuable insights for sociologists, anthropologists, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and patient activists alike.
This book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the theory and practice of care in healthcare settings.
