Based on an analysis of discussions and debates between IMS and Subordinate Medical Service officials, as well as an analysis of official reports, medical journals and newspapers. 5) An investigation of what is best described as a counter-narrative of success, which often took the shape of arguments about the dangers, limits and expense of new technologies.
