We discuss the contributions and insights sociologists have made in the areas of health, illness, and the medical establishment. Topics include the transformation of the health care system in the United States over the past 50 years, and the distinction between the sociology in medicine and the sociology of medicine.

Hello,

I'm an undergraduate student in Maryland and love your podcast. I listen to it when I'm about to start a paper to get me going.

I have but one complaint about your podcast though. Could you make it louder or tell the guests to get closer to the mic? It's very hard to hear the speakers even in my little dorm room if I move across the room!

Other than that, I very much enjoy your podcast. It is refreshing to see sociology enter new technology.

Thanks!
Chris
