More about the book

Wendy Simonds explores the pervasive influence of medicalization on daily life, culture, and social interactions in Hospital Land USA. Through her personal experiences and diverse U.S. cultural representations, including memoirs and disaster films, she encourages readers to critically examine established ideas surrounding care, health, identity, suffering, and mortality. Simonds' work challenges conventional perspectives and invites a deeper understanding of the societal implications of medical authority and practices.
