When you are ill, you must be cautious of what you do next. From the reading “How Many Die from Medical Mistakes in U.S. Hospitals?”, Marshall reveals his research on estimated number of medical mistakes in major hospitals. One of the things you will take as a step to follow when you are ill may be to ‘take medicine’. However, the article tells us that medical error may cause more serious symptoms and even to death. As Foucault emphasized that “Knowledge is a form of power”, an individual should be able to understand knowledge about the body and how medical discourse is constructed through social causation and social construction. What makes you think you are ill anyways? When would be the perfect time for you to believe that you are ‘healthy’? I can still argue that I’m very healthy when I’m a smoker and also suffer from anemia, as long as I can maintain my daily routine and communicate with other people. How do you think? Do you think you are healthy? If your answer to this is yes, can you come up with any theoretical approaches that may back up your belief? As noted in the lecture, Australian Aboriginal-background people define health as “not merely being physical well-being but also refer it to the social, emotional, spiritual and cultural well-being of the whole community,” illness and health issues are pretty much social products, revealed in different ways and forms according to the individual.
