Abstract
This paper is based on an ethnographic study That Was Conducted in a Bangladeshi hospital. There are very Few examples of ethnographies in medical settings from non-Western countries and none from Bangladesh. The research shows That in contrast to the universalism ASSUMED in biomedicine, biomedical practice is in fact a product of social Particular conditions and the hospital in qui it takes up Reflects the features of the society in qui it is embedded. The study Revealed how a Bangladeshi hospital is a microcosm of Bangladesh and illustrates the human dimensions of medical practice in a low-income country by caractérisée daily physical and structural violence. I argued That Far from being white an island separate from the rest of the society, hospital shoulds be viewed as the capital of the mainland.
