Study Notes
The Disappearance of the Sick-Man from Medical Cosmology (1770-1870)
- Medical cosmology shifted from an integrated view of the whole person to a network of microscopic particles
- Control over medical knowledge transfered from the sick to medical investigators
- A monolithic consensus of medical opinion emerged within the medical community
- The study analyzes changing relationships in medical cosmology from 1770-1870
- Medical cosmology is a metaphysical framework defining the universe of medical discourse
- The mode of production of medical knowledge comprises a group controlling means of production, a group producing knowledge, raw materials, the production process, and the product
- Three modes of production are recognized: Bedside Medicine, Hospital Medicine, and Laboratory Medicine
- Bedside Medicine was characterized by polycentric and polymorphous knowledge production with a primary focus on the individual patient's experience
- Hospital Medicine focused on the accurate diagnosis and classification of disease with object-oriented cosmologies
- Laboratory Medicine shifted towards a scientific view of disease, focusing on cellular processes and using scientific methods
- The shift from person-orientated to object-orientated cosmologies reflects a change in power dynamics between patients and medical investigators.
- Hospital and Laboratory Medicine led to the institutionalization of medical knowledge, reducing the importance of the individual patient's experience and promoting a centralized and standardized approach to medicine.
