Czym jest medyczny populizm?

The paper discusses the notion of medical populism appearing in the work of Gideon Lasco. This notion is used to describe recent protests against some medical decisions. Medical populism appears to be a useful research tool, but due to the assumptions made by Lasco, it has some limitations. Firstly, it does not take into account the structural relationship between politics and science existing in modern democracies. Secondly, it ignores the complex and controversial history of medicine and its inherent power. By excluding these aspects, the concept of medical populism cannot bring but limited results. However, the term itself should not be abandoned, but rather its meaning should be modified.

Abstract

The paper discusses the notion of medical populism appearing in the work of Gideon Lasco. This notion is used to describe recent protests against some medical decisions. Medical populism appears to be a useful research tool, but due to the assumptions made by Lasco, it has some limitations. Firstly, it does not take into account the structural relationship between politics and science existing in modern democracies. Secondly, it ignores the complex and controversial history of medicine and its inherent power. By excluding these aspects, the concept of medical populism cannot bring but limited results. However, the term itself should not be abandoned, but rather its meaning should be modified.
