Abstract

This special issue of “The Forum” publishes Charles L. Bosk's final work—a book proposal written for a trade audience titled—The Price of Perfection: The Cost of Error. Five noted scholars Carol Heimer, Carla Keirns, Mark Neuman, Julia Szymczak, and Stefan Timmermans offer commentary. Their essays touch on common themes: Bosk's humanity, his wry sense of humor, and keen ability to highlight the absurdity of the social organization of contemporary medicine alongside the sacred obligation that accompanies caring for the sick. Together, the book proposal and these five essays focus our attention on the impact Bosk's scholarship had in medicine, sociology, and the patient safety movement.

总结永远不能总结的:对查尔斯·l·博斯克的工作和遗产的思考

本期《论坛》特刊刊登了查尔斯·l·博斯克的最后一部作品——一份为业内读者撰写的图书提案——《完美的代价:错误的代价》。五位著名学者卡罗尔·海默、卡拉·凯恩斯、马克·纽曼、朱莉娅·西姆扎克和斯特凡·蒂默曼斯提供评论。他们的文章触及了共同的主题:博斯克的人性，他的讽刺幽默感，以及突出当代医学社会组织的荒谬的敏锐能力，以及伴随照顾病人的神圣义务。总之，这本书的建议和这五篇文章把我们的注意力集中在博斯克的奖学金对医学、社会学和病人安全运动的影响上。
