Ironically, when medical institutions combine disciplinary regulations with EBM to produce clinical practice guidelines, the outcomes are antithetical to the aim. Such guidelines fail to increase individual physicians' decision-making capacities – as EBM promises – because they externalize judgment through disciplinary control. Ariane Hanemaayer uses a critical sociology approach to argue that EBM persists because it has congealed within the dominant liberal political strategy of governance, which seeks to improve health care \"at a distance,\" at the least cost, and without investment in infrastructure. As such, \u003cem\u003eThe Impossible Clinic\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to interrogate the history, practice, and pitfalls of EBM and explain how it persists due to intersecting relationships between professional medical regulation and liberal governance strategies.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Conversations in Medicine: Problematizing Clinical Practice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Institutional Sites: McMaster University and Canada's Contribution to Medical Training\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Responsibilizing a New Kind of Clinician: Problem-Based Learning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Technologies of Regulation: Clinical Practice Guidelines and the Effects of Normalization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Impossible Clinic: Biopolitics, Governmentality, Liberalism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; References; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531073450264,"sku":"9780774862073","price":56.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-impossible-clinic-a-critical-sociology-of-evidence-based-medicine-hardback-9780774862073","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
