 abstract = {This article revisits Parsons’ insights on medicine, health and illness in                the light of contemporary debates in medical sociology and beyond. A preliminary                balance sheet of the Parsonian legacy is first provided, taking on board standard                accounts and criticisms of Parsons’ work within medical sociology to date.                The remainder of the article, in contrast, involves a close re-reading of Parsons in                the light of contemporary sociological debates on the body, emotion, trust,                uncertainty and health, including late modern and postmodern interpretations of his                work. Parsons, it is concluded, despite his (many) critics and detractors, has much                to contribute here, not simply in terms of past insights, but also with regard to                the present and future},
