Arabic Illness Narrative Presentation

Hello everyone. It's been great meeting all of you. I learnt a great deal from the presentations and was really glad to meet more people working in the Medical/Health Humanities. A couple of people asked me to send my presentation, so I'm uploading the PDF here, and will include the PPP in a different link as it doesn't seem I could upload both in one go. Thank you for a great couple of days. Faten

Lineages of language and the diagnosis of asthma Gopalakrishnan Netuveli, Brian Hurwitz, Aziz Sheikh.

Asthma, wheeze and cough are words with differing histories, etymologies and meanings. Yet their medical usage today is clustered around the diagnosis and management of a single disease. Hitherto, asthma has been a clinical diagnosis but wheeze, cough and asthma now are key terms in cross-cultural questionnaire surveys. The medical meanings of these terms contrast with meanings revealed by the non-medical usage of all three terms, which are highly figurative.
