Series: The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work

"In More Than Medicine, LaTonya J. Trotter chronicles the everyday work of a group of nurse practitioners (NPs) working on the front lines of the American health care crisis as they cared for four hundred African American older adults living with poor health and limited means. Trotter describes how these NPs practiced an inclusive form of care work that addressed medical, social, and organizational problems that often accompany poverty. In solving this expanded terrain of problems from inside the clinic, these NPs were not only solving a broader set of concerns for their patients; they became a professional solution for managing ""difficult people"" for both their employer and the state. Through More Than Medicine, we discover that the problems found in the NP's exam room are as much a product of our nation's disinvestment in social problems as of physician scarcity or rising costs."

Reviews for More Than Medicine: Nurse Practitioners and the Problems They Solve for Patients, Health Care Organizations, and the State

The book's important contributions are unscored by Trotter's rich prose and her exceptional ability to weave intricate stories into a compelling, nuanced portrait of 21st-century health care. She brings her research subjects to life with steady-handed critique, avoiding both unnecessarily harsh criticism and uncritical adulation. * American Journal of Sociology *
