Description: This book explores the intersection between society and medical technology to examine how medical technology impacts day-to-day life.

Brief description:

Jenny Kennedy is a Partner in the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence department at Anthony Gold Solicitors. She specialises in complex and serious head and spinal injury claims.

The 2016 edition of Chambers ranks her as a "star individual", one of just three in the field of personal injury in London. This independent guide to the legal profession describes her as "extremely thorough and dedicated to her clients" for whom "she always goes the extra mile". She fights "tooth and nail" for her clients and one client comments how "she always made herself available and made sense of complex issues". The Legal 500 2015 ranks her as a "leading individual", who describe her as "exceptional".

Jenny is on the joint editorial board of Kemp & Kemp: Personal Injury Law, Practice and Procedure. She is co-author of Litigating Psychiatric Injury Claims and she is also a co-author of Personal Injury Practice, both published by Bloomsbury Professional.

Review Quotes: "In this book, Kate Burrows and her collaborators provide cutting-edge accounts regarding major developments in medical technologies ranging from cat scans to new reproductive techniques, to developments in pharmacology. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how sociocultural factors influence changes in medical technologies." --Allan V. Horwitz, Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, Rutgers University
