Abstract: | New Institutional Theory is used to explain the context for argumentation in modern practice. The illustration of Direct to
Consumer Drug advertising is deployed to show how communicative argument between a doctor and patient is influenced by force
exogenous to the practice of medicine. The essay shows how strategic maneuvering shifts the burden of proof within institutional
relations. |
