Patient Admission. History and Pragmatics of Hospital Admission. DODIER and CAMUS. The article studies the processes of patient selection on arrival at the hospital. It looks at the historical origins of the different forms of taking care of the misfortune that coexist in the hospital, and shows how these different forms govern the hospital's relations with the outside world. From observations carried out in medical emergency ward in modern hospital, it highlights the role played in the admission process by different aspects of the mobilizing value of patients. The article ends with reflection on the relationship between detailed observation of activities as carried on by our contemporaries and the historic origins of the arrangements that in part guide these activities in the present.
