Nursing Wounds takes us into the examining rooms of nurse practitioners and doctors to listen to how health care professionals and women patients communicate.

SUE FISHER is Professor of Sociology at Wesleyan University. She is author of In the Patient's Best Interest: Women and the Politics of Medical Decisions and co-editor of Negotiating the Margins: The Gendered Discourses of Power and Resistance, both published by Rutgers University Press.
