A sociologist is studying patient-doctor interactions and makes the following conclusion: “Overall, when men complained about pain, doctors were significantly more likely to prescribe pain medications than when women did. Doctors were more likely to encourage lifestyle changes, such as exercise, to alleviate pain for women. This suggests that doctors are more likely to consider the complaints of men to be “valid,” whereas the complaints made by women were seen as less severe, and as such, were taken less seriously.” Is this research an example of “sociology in medicine” or “sociology of medicine”? Why?
A. Sociology in medicine: This study is looking at patient treatment and how patients engage with doctors to improve their pain. B. Sociology in medicine: This study is looking at the experience of patienthood. C. Sociology of medicine: In society broadly, women have less power than men; this study suggests that the health care system reinforces this differential between men and women. D. Sociology of medicine: Doctors have the power to treat all patients differently. E. Sociology in medicine: This sociologist is performing a sociological study in a medical context.
