Dealing with In/dependence: Doctoring in Physical Rehabilitation Practice.Tsjalling Swierstra, Annemarie Mol & Rita Struhkamp - 2009 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 34 (1):55-76.details By now, the laboratory tradition, crafting transportable knowledge that allows for comparison, has been amply studied. However, other knowledge traditions, notably that of the clinic, deserve further articulation. The authors contribute to this by unraveling some specificities of rehabilitation practice. How do laboratory and clinical traditions in rehabilitation relate to independence? The first seeks to quantify people's independence; the latter attends to qualitatively different ways of being independent. While measuring independence is a matter of aggregating scores on a priori established (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 3 citations
Drilling Surgeons: The Social Lessons of Embodied Surgical Learning.Rachel Prentice - 2007 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 32 (5):534-553.details Surgical training has traditionally involved a lengthy apprenticeship to a series of master surgeons, who teach medical students and residents the techniques of surgery while allowing them to work on patients in the operating room. This article examines surgical training as a structured environment that prepares students for the embodied lessons taught by a surgeon. It argues that even the most seemingly mechanical of surgical techniques contains social lessons when taught by a surgeon within the rich environment of the operating (...) room.

Regulatory Anatomy: How “Safety Logics” Structure European Transplant Medicine.Klaus Hoeyer - 2015 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 40 (4):516-538.details This article proposes the term “safety logics” to understand attempts within the European Union to harmonize member state legislation to ensure a safe and stable supply of human biological material for transplants and transfusions. With safety logics, I refer to assemblages of discourses, legal documents, technological devices, organizational structures, and work practices aimed at minimizing risk. I use this term to reorient the analytical attention with respect to safety regulation. Instead of evaluating whether safety is achieved, the point is to (...)

Negotiating Value: Comparing Human and Animal Fracture Care in Industrial Societies.Chris Degeling - 2009 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 34 (1):77-101.details At the beginning of the twentieth century, human and veterinary surgeons faced the challenge of a medical marketplace transformed by technology. The socioeconomic value ascribed to their patients was changing, reflecting the increasing mechanization of industry and the decreasing dependence of society on nonhuman animals for labor. In human medicine, concern for the economic consequences of fractures “pathologized” any significant level of posttherapeutic disability, a productivist perspective contrary to the traditional corpus of medical values. In contrast, veterinarians adapted to the (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 4 citations
Cutting a Bone to Heal a Ligament: Idealized Animals and Orthopaedics. [REVIEW]Chris Degeling - 2010 - Medicine Studies 2 (2):101-119.details Developments in biomedical science continue to transform our understanding of concepts such as health and disease. The creation of this expertise has also had a substantive role in changing the veterinary approach to animal diseases. Traditionally, companion animal veterinarians modelled their practices on developments in the diagnosis and treatment of human patients. As science and technology have realigned the boundaries between normalcy, intra-species variation and pathology in particular domains of expertise such as orthopaedic surgery, these patterns of knowledge translation have (...)
