Summary:Medical professionals, scientists, and patients have long grappled with the dubious nature of medical 'certainty' regarding diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of disease states. Constructing certainty requires reductions and deductions. It requires us to take what we know now and make best guesses about what will be. We try to make peace with medical uncertainty by monitoring symptoms, modelling risk, and looking toward evidence. But bodies in flux always outpace the human gaze. With research, technologies, and patients themselves constantly changing, how do practitioners ultimately make decisions about care? 'Bodies in Flux' looks at the many ways humans coproduce medical knowledge.
