| Annotation | Three decades of conversation analytic (CA) investigation of medical interaction have produced a rich collection of findings of sociological interest. This special issue of Sociology of Health & Illness looks at how studies of doctor-patient interaction reveal the ways in which participants organise the medical visit to accomplish tasks such as diagnosing and recommending treatment for illness, and how doctors and patients approach interaction issues and dilemmas that arise in undertaking these tasks. Papers in this special issue consider distinctive practical problems experienced in healthcare encounters and medical settings; the focus is on participants' orientations to policy, their distinctive participation modes, and the use of technology. Among themes covered are physiotherapy, obesity, instructions during surgical operations, nurse-patient interviews, and listening to what is said. (RH). |
