Medicine, Disability and Family in an Affluent Arab Society
Modern medicine has a global reach. Although medicine is always directed clinically to individual patients with varied family connections in a particular cultural setting, the knowledge and technology of medicine are abstract and scientific, diffusing easily across national boundaries. The migration of medical personnel, primarily from poor to rich countries, is another aspect of the diffusion that has received little attention in current discour…

Introduction
The purpose of this special issue of Sociological Focus is to lay out the concept of continuity of care and to bring it within the purview of sociology. In this introduction, I will situate the concept as it appears within medical care/health policy discourse, tie it to the concerns of medical sociology and set forth three distinct but related versions of it

All God's Mistakes
Genetic testing has become so precise that doctors can detect even the most subtle defects in fetuses at almost any time in a pregnancy. But what happens when a woman is told she is carrying a damaged fetus? What advice should be given to those at risk of bearing genetically defective children? How are birth defects explained to parents? In All God's Mistakes Charles Bosk takes readers inside the hospitals and laboratories where these dilemmas ar…
Medical Sociology Goes Global
In the United States, medical sociology has established its usefulness for inves tigating all manner of health phenomena ? the role of social factors and socioenvi ronmental hazards in causing disease; the behavior, values, and decision-making propensities of physicians, hospitals, and other provider entities; the help-seeking be havior of actual and potential patients; the measurement of health status, stress, and patient satisfaction; and, more…
Arab Perceptions of Gender as Mirrored in the Search for a Kidney Donor
With a critical shortage of cadaver kidneys available for transplantation worldwide, many end stage renal disease patients currently expire while they are on a cadaver transplant waiting list. There is thus a need to understand the alternative mode, live-related kidney donation, and the social circumstances affecting it. This research explores the attitudes of students in a hypothetical scenario, “Search for a Kidney Donor.” It focuses on gender …

Theoretical Perspectives for Explaining Infant Mortality in the Third World
Infant mortality in Third World countries is still a major health problem; overall, there has been progress over the past three decade, but it is unevenly distributed. Some Third World countries have achieved significant declines in infant mortality, while others have not. The expectation – rising from the historical experience of industrialized countries – that infant mortality will decline concurrently with the process of economic development h…

A Two-Pronged Foray into the Comparative Study of Health Care Systems
The comparative study of health care systems (CSHCS) is a relatively new domain of inquiry within sociology. This paper proposes two research foci in CSHCS. The first focus, “informal modern health care,” lies between the work of medical anthropologists in their investigations of traditional health care, mainly in developing societies, and the work that epidemiologists and health service researchers carry out, mainly in industrial societies. Info…

Modernization and Medical Care
The introduction of modern medicine into developing societies is an important topic for social-scientific analysis. Here I draw upon modernization theory to illuminate this topic. Using Peter Berger's notion of 'carriers of modernity,' I discuss health care as such a carrier. Compared with premodern modes of health care, modern health care has a calculable, 'commodity' character. Its production has become a major and increasingly systematized sec…
Physicians and Social Change

Among th e issues discussed are the organisation of practice, method o f reimbursement, task delegation, peer reviews, and the role of the government in health care

Medical Education in Saudi Arabia
University curricula in Saudi Arabia can be approximately dichotomized into subjects taught in English-the natural sciences; and those taught in Arabic-the cultural areas. Medical education is conducted in English. Many medical students are poorly prepared in English; in consequence, there is high stress in the classroom and examination hall. Saudi educators are hesitant about reliance upon a foreign language in the curriculum. The psychocultural…

A Dialysis-Transplant Program and Its Growing Pains
The provision of dialysis and transplant treatment to renal failure patients, to the extent possible in view of biomedical knowledge and clinically necessary in view of the numbers of such patients, is a challenge to contemporary medical resources. This paper describes and analyzes the development of a dialysis-transplant program in a university medical center. The influence of super-ordinate institutional goals of research, teaching, and service…
