Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Life and Death in Intensive Care offers a unique portrait of the surgical intensive care unit (SICU), the place in medical centers and hospitals where patients with the gravest medical conditionsOCofrom comas to terminal illnessOCoare treated. Author Joan Cassell employs the concept of moral economies to explain the dilemmas that patients, families, and medical staff confront in treatment.

Using real life examples, Life and Death in Intensive Care clearly presents the logic and values behind the SICU as well as the personalities, procedures, and pressures that characterize every case. Ultimately, Cassell demonstrates the differing systems of values, and the way cultural definitions of medical treatment inform how we treat the critically ill.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Surgery is the most martial and masculine of medical specialities. Anthropologist Joan Cassell enters this arena to explore the work and lives of women practicing their craft in what is largely a man's world. Cassel observed 33 surgeons in five North American cities over the course of three years. The text follows these women through their grueling days: racing through the corridors to make rounds, perform operations, hold office hours, and teach residents. We hear from them in their own words discussing training and their relations with patients, nurses, colleagues, husbands, and children. Do these women differ from their male colleagues, and if so, do such differences affect patient care.…
