In Nurses and Doctors at Work, Deidre Wicks looks at nurses and their relations with doctors at work. Drawing on extended observation and one-to-one interviews, she explores many aspects of nursing work which are rarely discussed. Her exploration includes incidents which reveal both cooperation and contestation with doctors and their medical goals and priorities. Nurses and Doctors at Work is essential reading for anyone interested in the sociology of nursing and the sexual division of labour.
