Enveloped Lives Caring and Relating in Lithuanian Health Care
Rima Praspaliauskiene, "Enveloped Lives: Caring and Relating in Lithuanian Health Care"
English | ISBN: 1501765469 | 2022 | 162 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Handing envelopes containing money or gifts to doctors in public health care is often seen as a remnant of socialism that continues as an integral part of the Lithuanian health care system. Rima Praspaliauskiene uses the envelope to explore complex doctor-patient interactions that go beyond notions of the gift or the bribe. She reshapes our definition of corruption and encourages seeing these practices as emerging forms of care that impede the neoliberal health care reforms effected in the post-Soviet era.
