I'm revising my medical sociology textbook for a second edition. At the end of each chapter, I suggest some feature films students might want to view. I'd be very interested in any suggestions you might have for new films to add (there's no rush). Since I don't belong to this list, I'd appreciate it if you could send your suggestions directly to me ([log in to unmask]). The list from the first edition follows: Sources of illness: broad social patterns that have produced a new rise in infectious disease (TB, AIDS, malaria), as well as the role of tobacco, alcohol, pollution, sexual activity, working conditions, illicit drugs: Days of wine and roses Distribution of illness (gender, class, race patterns) in US: Burning bed El Norte Norma Rae Streetwise meaning of illness: anything on genetics (science fiction, perhaps?) Disease in less developed countries: Pixote Salaam Bombay Experience of illness and disability: Absolutely Positive My left foot waterdance Common Threads Long time companion sociology of mental illness: Frances One flew over the cuckoo's nest Profession of medicine: the doctor gross anatomy Health care settings (hospitals, nursing homes) Whose life is it anyway? A woman's tale Bioethics (right to die, human subjects research, reproductive technology): Baby girl Scott coma I had no suggestions in the first edition for chapters on other health care providers (nurses, midwives, curanderas) or on US and foreign health care systems.
