Abstract
Using an autoethnographic method, this article explores the discourses, lines of force, and narratives that constitute the kind of human being it is possible to become in a rehabilitative skilled nursing facility. It is written from the point of view of a patient who is using the facility. It gives an account of an encounter with the liability discourse and teases out the biomedical discourse from the phenomenological discourse. It also traces the restitution narrative that dominates healthcare and contrasts it with a chaos narrative. The author’s subjective experience is crafted between these various discourses and narratives and is not entirely an individual’s decision.
