Description
By putting themselves in the shoes of patients seeking healing on a radio programme about health, what will readers of this book see? The power of doctors' words to heal patients closely shows the attitudes of communities near Brasília/DF while investigating the elements that indicate patients' belief in medical discourse through discourse analysis. The subjects are doctors interviewed on a radio programme, listeners who call the radio station during the programme to inquire about their health problems, and this interviewer/analyst who, as a psychologist, took on the role of facilitator of the discussion. Through discursive excerpts, it is detected that the doctor speaks from a position of authority that gives him a status of great credibility and admiration. The discourses of the patients/listeners show the submission and resignation of those who depend on public health.
