The Moral Force of Guidelines: How Surgeons Use Evidence-Based Medicine to Curb Their Interventionism
The epistemology of evidence-based medicine (EBM) is said to clash with the culture of surgery: EBM demands contemplation, whereas surgeons prize decisive, and even heroic, action. How, then, have surgeons come to embrace EBM? To answer this question, I analysed evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and interviewed 15 attending surgeons at an academic medical centre in the United States. I find that surgeons use EBM to reconcile thei…
The routinization of lay expertise: A diachronic account of the invention and stabilization of an open-source artificial pancreas
Embodied health movements (EHMs) advance their agendas by mediating the production, circulation, and revision of biomedical knowledge. To do this, their constituents become lay experts by blending their embodied experience of illness with self-taught technical knowledge. However, it is unclear how lay expertise is routinized within EHMs, and consequently, to what extent it can be made durable in long-term partnerships with credentialed experts. I…
Good Law to Fight Bad Bugs: Legal Responses to Epidemics
Although epidemics are generally understood as lying within the domain of biomedicine, legal and social arrangements play crucial roles in determining whether or not infectious disease outbreaks grow into epidemics and even pandemics. Yet epidemics are challenging terrain for legal regulation. Because epidemics cross political borders and span jurisdictional boundaries, funding for epidemic prevention, preparedness, and response is always inadequ…
Homo adhaerens: Risk and adherence in biomedical HIV prevention research
After the turn of the millennium, HIV clinical researchers pivoted from developing and testing new antiretrovirals (ARVs) for treatment, to reconfiguring the same molecules for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). In 2012, Truvada became the first HIV therapy to also be approved by the FDA for PrEP, regarded as a magic bullet that promised to end the epidemic. However, six years after its approval, it continues to be inaccessible to those who are mos…
