Daniel Menchik's book explores how knowledge is shared, decisions are made, and physicians gain and keep their influence. He argues that medicine's authority is managed in collegial competition across venues, with medical trainees, clinicians, researchers, administrators, and corporations driving the field. Menchik's ethnographic approach shows how stakeholders ally across venues, even as they are sometimes pressed into competition, strengthening the authority of medicine as a whole. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 328 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 November 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthority delves into the intricate dynamics that shape the authority of medicine. It explores how knowledge is shared, decisions are made, and physicians gain and maintain influence within the profession. Daniel Menchik, the author, argues that medicine's authority is managed through collegial competition across various venues, including hospitals, professional committees, and industry-sponsored meetings. Through his ethnographic approach, Menchik examines the roles of medical trainees, clinicians, researchers, administrators, and corporations in driving the field's direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book takes readers inside Superior Hospital, where surgeries and executive negotiations unfold, as well as outside the hospital to witness professional committees crafting standards for treatments, case management, and professional ethics. Menchik observes how stakeholders ally across these venues, sometimes engaging in competition, but ultimately strengthening the authority of medicine as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book highlights the renewal and reinvigoration of medical specialties across different places and groups. It sheds light on how alliances and rivalries shape the field, leading to advancements and innovations in healthcare. Managing Medical Authority provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors that contribute to the authority of medicine and its evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 534g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 156 x 234 x 23 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780691223544                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel A.
