478 Pages : pbk. 25 cm. In Second Opinion: An Introduction to Health Sociology, John Germov examines how social factors influence health, illness, and healthcare systems. He challenges the biomedical model by highlighting the roles of class, gender, race, and power in shaping health outcomes. The book promotes a sociological perspective that views health as a product of social context rather than just biological factors. Germov ultimately advocates for more equitable and socially aware health policies and practices. John Germov Includes Index. Sociology 306.4610 GER 0-19-551369-X GCL 250711
