After a fall : a sociomedical sojourn /
Richardson, Laurel.
After a fall : a sociomedical sojourn / Laurel Richardson. - Walnut Creek, Calif. : Left Coast Press, ©2013. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references.
Fear of falling -- We don't know why yet -- Help me ... help me -- What is right -- Lo and behold -- You have lots of friends -- Snake pit -- A time to every purpose -- Kiss me ... kiss -- Down with the bad, up with the good -- Food good for women -- Training wheels -- The forever home -- Temporily abled.
For renowned sociologist and writer Laurel Richardson, a broken foot led to a month as a patient in an extended care facility. In this compelling description of her lived experience in one of these institutions, she addresses key questions of health delivery and behavior: nurses who can be angelic or cruel, institutional policies often structured to maximize income over care, and patients whose behavior often does not mirror the severity of their condition. She points to inequality of treatment of patients of different ethnicities, genders, and classes, and to an underclass of health work.
