It's sometimes hard to tell what patients are playing at: How healthcare professionals make sense of why patients and families complain about care
This article draws from sociological and socio-legal studies of dispute between patients and doctors to examine how healthcare professionals made sense of patients' complaints about healthcare. We analyse 41 discursive interviews with professional healthcare staff working in eight different English National Health Service settings to explore how they made sense of events of complaint and of patients' (including families') motives for complaining.…
Citizen Participation as Political Ritual: Towards a Sociological Theorizing of 'Health Citizenship
This article examines citizen participation in health research, where funders increasingly seek to promote and define 'patient and public involvement' (PPI). In England, the focus of our study, government policy articulates a specific set of meanings attached to PPI that fuse patients' rights and responsibilities as citizens, as 'consumers' and as 'lay experts'. However, little is known about the meanings those who take part in PPI activities att…
Exploring the Legacies of Filmed Patient Narratives: The Interpretation and Appropriation of Patient Films by Health Care Staff
We trace the legacies of filmed patient narratives that were edited and screened to encourage engagement with a participatory quality improvement project in an acute hospital setting in England. Using Gabriel's theory of "narrative contract," we examine the initial success of the films in establishing common grounds for participatory project and later, and more varied, interpretations of the films. Over time, the films were interpreted by staff a…
Configuring the patient as clinical research subject in the UK national health service
This paper examines a central image in UK academic clinical research - the patient as altruistic research subject - by means of an interpretive review of social science, bioethical and bioscience research and development policy literatures. The review examines this image as it is indicted in discussions about the nature of clinical science; is consolidated in the ethical regulation of this science; and is articulated in recent bioscience research…

Ethnographic fieldwork in two purposively selected adult community nursing services in England comprised 79 hours of observation of routine practice, 21 interviews with staff and 23 interviews with patients. We identified the informal work practice of 'catching up', informal work conversations between i…

Stories of fracture and claim for belonging: Young migrants' narratives of arrival in Britain
This article brings an anthropological approach to bear on the question of ‘children's voices’ and, particularly, on the stories told by some young migrants about their recent arrival as asylum-seekers in Britain. Young migrants' narratives are examined as situated and self-conscious claims to a certain identity as child refugee. The question of why a particular narrative of ‘arrival in Britain’ was offered by a diverse group of young migrants an…
Playful places, serious times: Young women migrants from a peri-urban settlement, Zimbabwe
This article builds on recent anthropologies of youth and childhood in contemporary Africa to incorporate perspectives on gender, age, maturation, and life course, particularly as these engage a politics of place and historically specific experiences of emplacement. The ethnography focuses on events surrounding teenage girls' involvement in city work and travel in the peri-urban areas of Harare, Zimbabwe, at a time when women's bodies and behavio…

Chronic-disease Classification in Evaluation of Medical Care Programs
For ideal classification of chronic disease in large populations, identification of the presence or absence of every chronic disease in every person would be desirable, as would knowledge of specific causes and pathogenesis, means to define cause, measure severity, and identify important milestones. The authors have approached the problems by analyzing advantages and disadvantages of certain aids to classification of chronic disease, namely, cate…
