Developments in the treatment of this condition have significantly altered rates of survival among sufferers. But knowledge has advanced unevenly and individual prognosis remains distressingly uncertain. A study of the families of 60 leukaemic children revealed how such technical shifts shape the experience of life-threatening illness and how apparent clinical gains serve to highlight remaining uncertainties. For such advance in medical knowledge complicates the search for meaning and predictability in the wake of threatening illness, and sharpens contradictions inherent in medicine itself and in its relationship to its wider social context. Observation of the impact of the disease revealed how medicine can be seen as ambiguous in a double sense: the more it appears to control, the more threatening is the domain where knowledge is still lacking; and the more it controls, the more alienated the layman <em>himself</em> from control over its effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79261,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

In the light of social changes which are said to have affected the institution of the family all over the world, this study was undertaken to see if changes have occurred in rural families in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined (a) the extent to which people depended on the family decision for hospitalization ; (b) whether family consent was required in all cases before the sick was hospitalized, and (c) the extent to which this practice was approved by the people. In all these dimensions of the investigation, there was consistent evidence of family dominance with regard to the hospitalization of the sick member of the family. In other words, among rural people in the study area, a decision as to whether a sick person should be hospitalized or not was not yet the exclusive responsibility of an individual but that of the family. It is thus suggested that in dealing with rural people in this area, whether in a matter of health or in other planned programmes of change, individuals alone should not form the focus of expert-client relation as a decision unilaterally taken by an individual may be overturned by the family.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79261,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.
