An exploration of the stylistic, aesthetic and thematic impact of hospital drama. This book argues that 'new' medical dramas offer a different landscape from their predecessors, and they tend to disturb rather than reassure. The medical profession are often depicted as being forced to confront new management , ethical labyrinths, and noxious patients.
