Well, honey, the biomedical model of health focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases or conditions, while functionalism looks at how different parts of society work together to maintain stability. So, in a nutshell, you could say they both have a common goal of keeping things running smoothly, just in different contexts. Hope that clears things up for ya!

The biomedical model fits in well with the functionalist perspective as it sees ill health as being dysfunctional to society. For functionalists if people adopt the sick role and are exempt from their usual roles and responsibilities.
