Can sociology offer a new way of viewing our daily surgeries?: Seeing the general in the particular, the social in the individual

[摘要] In general practice we are encouraged to consider the physical, psychological and social dimensions of the problems people bring to us. Sociology is the study of human society; a way of understanding not just counting. Sociologists vary in their perspectives, methods and values but share the aim of understanding and explaining the social world. As a GP I work hard not to make assumptions about people based on age, sex, and number of earrings, tattoos or facial piercing. I see individual people each day in my work, and outside. I have individual relationships, each different; I relish these differences.
