In a context where the health sector in Portugal is undergoing profound changes, this work takes us inside hospitals. For the first time, doctors and managers take on the status of protagonists in a work that analyzes the political context, the functioning of hospital organizations, and the way these players interact. What influences modern hospital management? What are its implications for medicine? What guides medical behavior? These are some of the questions that are made visible throughout a book that produces an alternative look at these spaces. Starting from a reflection on human action, it points to the need for a broad and deep understanding of hospital dynamics and the necessary assumptions for a better comprehension of these action stages.
