The book delves into the dynamics of medical authority, exploring how it is shaped through interactions among physicians, industry, and various stakeholders. It raises critical questions about decision-making in medical contexts, particularly regarding patient care and technology. Through ethnographic research at Superior Hospital and industry meetings, the author highlights the complex relationships that influence medical practices and standards. By examining alliances and rivalries among medical professionals and corporations, the work reveals how these interactions ultimately reinforce the authority of medicine.
