Patients In The New Economy: The "Sick Role " In A Time Of Economic Discipline
Bibliographic record
Abstract
From the anonymous victim of epidemics as collective scourges, from the traditional image of the alienated and passive "patient " to the "self-provider of medical care " as a new cultural figure, to the "health-care user " as a collective actor in the public-health system, and finally to the militant for whom the body is the basis of a new political action, the "sick person " appears to have travelled a long way, about which a number of questions must be asked (Herzlich and Pierret, 1987: 229). A system of healing, like any other structure, includes a set of roles for the major agents. Within our modern health-care system, there is a set of social expectations around what it means to be a "patient, " how one comes to be a patient and, especially, what one is to do upon becoming a patient. Nevertheless, it is rare that one finds a serious consideration of the role of the patient within the whole practice of medicine. Indeed, one overview of Canadian studies of the sociology of health and illness stated:

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
