Abstract:

This book introduces a unique model of medical discourse that identifies
the forms of talk - voices- that doctors and patients use during the
consultation, and studies the dynamic interaction as it unfolds
particularly in follow-up visits. Natural recordings, semi-structured
interviews, questionnaires and ethnographic observations provide the data
for the research, which was carried out in an Outpatient Clinic in
Santiago, Chile. Using an interactional sociolinguistic approach, analysis
of the data identifies doctor-patient communication as a micro-performance
of broader socio-cultural realities, in which social status, power,
knowledge and personal beliefs and values all find expression in the
consultative setting. Importantly, while both doctor and patient voices are
shown to contribute to an essentially asymmetrical exchange, the study also
identifies the holistic and empathic Fellow Human voice, which places
doctors and patients on a more equal footing. In connection with this
voice, the Spanish concept of simpatía is also discussed.

While the model in this study was developed within a specific
socio-cultural framework, it is hoped that it will be adapted and modified
more widely and contribute to a better understanding between doctors and
their patients.
