     Yes, I'm interested in reviewing some of your revisions.  As a nurse 
     practitioner in clinical practice and teaching at the university 
     level, I'm too often dismayed that "medical" sociology is presented as 
     just that......physician-patient relationships....physician/medical 
     policy.  Nurisng is one of the largest work forces in the US.  While, 
     in general, this group does not have a very loud voice, they do carry 
     great impact in the trenches. 
     The last statistic I read was that 16 health care workers exist to 
     each one physician.  How can "medical" sociology better represent 
     study of all the health care system?
     "Medical" sociology needs to be careful that it does not reinforce 
     hegemonic "physicianism" in the health care industry.

I am getting ready to revise my textbook, The Sociology of Health, Illness 
and Health Care: A Critical Approach, and need to find a few people who use 
it and could review the current edition for the publisher (they pay). 
Please let me know if you use the book and would be interested in reviewing 
it, or if you know someone else who would be appropriate. I need to find 
people at different sorts of schools (liberal arts, public colleges, 
research universities, etc.)
     
Thanks for your help.
