Review

"Kirsten Ostherr shows us how we might learn to see--and to experience--health and illness differently. Medical Visions is crucial reading for anyone who practices medicine and for anyone who is, has been, or will be a patient--which is to say, all of us."--Priscilla Wald, author of Contagious: Cultures, Carriers, and the Outbreak Narrative

"With fascinating discussions of documentaries, training films, television shows, advertisements, and more, Medical Visions underscores the key role played by the media in shaping our common sense ideas about medicine and objectivity. Ostherr's important study provides a guide to watching and understanding today's new health media. This book is an example of the medical humanities at its finest."--Joseph Dumit, author of Drugs for Life: How Pharmaceutical Companies Define Our Health
