Reviews
"In their introductory chapter, the editors provide an overview of CA research in the medical field so far and explicate how they think such research should be developed further, as noted above . . . I do hope, and expect, that the collection can function as a stimulus to indeed extend the focus of 'medical' studies using CA and ethnomethodology in the ways demonstrated here."
