Abstract
The paper presents findings from an investigation into individual perceptions of health and health care. The investigation employed an ethnographic or qualitative approach and was located in a theoretical framework deriving from Schutz and Heller. While Heller's study of everyday life is used to note how people make sense through constructing 'stories', Schutz's notions on scientific constructs are employed to demonstrate the need for, and problems with, social scientific interpretation. In the conclusion, however, other Schutzian ideas are found wanting, and reference is made to hegemony as a representation of the context of many experiences and perceptions.
