Abstract
What makes doctors burn out? What is it like to have epilepsy? Why do smoke rs not give up? Qualitative research makes it possible to look behind the s tatistics and to study health and health care from the inside: to find out what it is really like for the health professionals who provide the care an d for the patients on the receiving end.
