Abstract
Based on this study, (1) a patient's confidence in claiming epistemic access and asserting epistemic rights when epistemic tensions arise are related to the context and their own history of living with asthma; and (2), epistemic tensions can make visible the power relations in the patient-clinician relationship, which can lead to the exertion of biomedical authority, or the taking up of patient's lay knowledge.
