The Body Multiple by Annemarie Mol
Ontology in Medical Practice
This insightful exploration delves into the complexities of medical practice by examining the treatment of atherosclerosis in a Dutch hospital. It challenges the conventional notion of a singular, unified body by illustrating how multiple realities coexist within medical settings. Through ethnographic research, the narrative reveals how different medical professionals, technologies, and practices create varied interpretations and treatments of the same condition. This work highlights the fluidity and multiplicity inherent in medical knowledge, urging readers to reconsider the nature of reality in healthcare.
