治疗幻想是医学希望和投资的强大驱动力，经常取代给予其他疾病相关实践领域的关注和资源。虽然治愈意味着病人角色的结束和绝对健康状态的可能性，但在实践中，那些被吹捧为具有高治愈潜力的领域与持续的本质和治愈后护理的不完整性作斗争。通过抓住公众的想象力并将研究和资金引导到特定的方向，治疗的主题有可能将资源从其他不那么诱人的治疗形式中抽走，并以牺牲社会为代价转向技术。根据我们对精准医学和深部脑刺激的研究，我们追踪治疗作为一个概念在这些领域是如何运作的，并将其与医疗从业者如何实际照顾病人进行比较。我们认为，对治疗后可能性的批判性参与提供了一个机会，可以挑战和重新思考什么是良好的医疗保健，以及医疗创新的社会、政治和经济基础。
The curative imaginary is a powerful driver of hope and investment in medicine, often displacing attention and resources given to other illness-related fields of practice. Whereas cure implies an end to the sick role and the possibility of an absolute state of health, in practice those fields that are touted as having high curative potential grapple with the ongoing nature and incompleteness of post-cure care. By capturing the public imagination and channelling research and funding in particular directions, the motif of cure risks drawing resources away from other, less seductive forms of treatment, and towards the technological at the expense of the social. Drawing on our research into precision medicine and deep brain stimulation, we track how cure operates as a concept in these fields, and compare this to how medical practitioners actually care for patients. We argue that a critical engagement with post-cure possibilities offers an opportunity to challenge and rethink what constitutes good medical care, as well as the social, political, and economic underpinnings of medical innovation.
