Abstract

A growing concern in clinical literature with the “treatment burden” of living with multimorbidity raises questions about how we can study and produce knowledge on the impact of health care. In this article, we draw on ethnographic material from fieldwork among people with multimorbidity in Denmark and recent theorization on “values” in health care, to show how an ongoing “trying out” and ways of “just getting on with it” are enacted in illness trajectories marked by multimorbidity. Our findings point to the importance of attending to the subject positions that particular healthcare relations and encounters make possible.
