Sammanfattning
A patient who has chronic symptoms but no objective indications of a disease risks being perceived as problematic or troublesome, and the doctor risks appearing incompetent or not very compassionate. Sociological perspectives on the roles and the power structures in which the doctor’s practices and the patient’s health problems are embedded may improve our understanding of the matters at stake for the patient as well as the doctor.
