Abstract
Whatever other virtues it may have, the leading metaphor of this volume is definitely not patient-centered. The image of the physician as the captain of a ship, or of illness and treatment as an ocean voyage requiring the coordination of deck-hands, mates, officers, and nautical machinery, is a bureaucrat’s image. It reflects a preoccupation with administrative structure, organizational behavior, and the rational deployment of people and technology. It does not reflect the patient’s experience of illness.
