Abstract
In this paper we deal with the methodological, technical and ethical problems that emerged during the ethnographic research that we carried out at three different hospitals. We describe the forms of access to the hospital, the roles given to the anthropologists, and the different anthropological research methods that we were able to use. We analyze how all these circumstances determine the ethnographic material obtained. Finally, we present an ethnographic account regarding the institutional culture of each of the hospitals
