Evaluating or analyzing clinical practice often involves an analysis of the social context of care. This has created research opportunities for health sociologists to work on multidisciplinary teams with clinicians. This article gives an account of the methodological strategies that were necessary for completing a critical, qualitative study of the social impact of echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound) when used to diagnose patients as normal.
