摘要

1948年英国国家医疗服务体系成立后，出现了一种新的浪漫小说类型：“医生-护士”浪漫小说，通常涉及男医生和女护士之间的浪漫故事，故事发生在英国国家医疗医疗服务体系的医院。本文借鉴米尔斯和布恩的档案和小说本身，探讨了战后英国医疗服务和性别医疗专业概念的表现。我认为，米尔斯和布恩的医学小说并没有对女性生活提出“倒退”和“有限”的看法，而是经常对女性身份、职业身份、临床劳动和福利国家的有效运作提出细致入微的版本。

Racing Pulses: Gender, Professionalism and Health Care in Medical Romance Fiction

Following the foundation of the NHS in 1948, a new sub-genre of romantic fiction emerged: ‘Doctor–Nurse’ romances, usually involving romance between a male doctor and a female nurse, were set in NHS hospitals. Drawing on the Mills & Boon archive and the novels themselves, this article explores representations of the health service and notions of gendered healthcare professionalism in postwar Britain. I argue that rather than presenting ‘retrograde’ and ‘limited’ views of women’s lives, medical Mills & Boon novels frequently put forward nuanced versions of womanhood, professional identity, clinical labour, and the effective functioning of the welfare state.
