Summary
"Shows how a group of nurse practitioners expand the medical encounter to include a mix of health, social, and coordination problems--illustrating the ways in which these providers are not just filling-in for absent physicians, but are filling in for the absence of the state in attending to the problems of poverty and unequal access to health care"-- Provided by publisher
