This book examines historiographical accounts of the cerebrovascular condition using a socio-historical approach influenced by the writings of Michel Foucault in an attempt to understand how stroke medicine has emerged in its current form.
Reviews
“A powerful feature of this book is that it is not just an historical account of earlier attempts by doctors to get to grips with stroke, it is also interested in how stroke medicine has had to adapt to a changing professional world where doctors have to play a role alongside other occupational groups, evidence based medicine and new forms of regulation.” – Prof. Paul Higgs, University College London
“. . . [the author’s] fascinating and lucid account opens up a space that will both enrich medical sociology and our understanding of how modern medical practice evolves." - Prof. Ian Rees Jones, Bangor University School of Social Sciences
