Challenging Operations Medical Reform and Resistance in Surgery by Katherine Kellogg
In 2003, in the face of errors and accidents caused by medical and surgical trainees, the American Council of Graduate Medical Education mandated a reduction in resident work hours to eighty per week. This title takes up the apparent paradox of medical professionals resisting reforms designed to help them and their patients.
"Kellogg's vivid account of the struggle to implement important medical reform instructs, inspires, and terrifiesUnique in its range of arguments and the literature it draws on, Challenging Operations is a wonderful book for students of the sociology of medicine, health and illness, occupations, organizations, work, and social movements." (Carol Heimer, Northwestern University)"
Katherine C. Kellogg is associate professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
