What is it about?
In this paper I draw on positioning theory to show how we interlayer stories and routines to justify constraints on patient autonomy. I show how actors position illness in talk‐in‐interaction, moving between the there and then of reported events and the above and beyond of shared societal discourses to say what matters and what's to be done here and now.

Why is it important?
It showcases the benefits of an interplay between narrative and routine perspectives, a theory-method developed by combining post-classical narratology and routine dynamics theory. It also shows how such an approach can enrich positioning theory.
Perspectives
This paper emerged from a discourse analytical study of a Czech media scandal concerning mental illness, to which I added a comparative case reported on by French sociologists. In choosing this unusual combination I wanted to explore the possibilities of secondary data analysis.
