The U.S. hospital embodies society's hope for itself-a
technological bastion standing between us and death. What does the
gold standard of rescue, as ideology and industry, mean for the
dying patient in the hospital and for the status of dying in
American culture? This book shows how dying is a management problem
for hospitals, occupying space but few billable encounters and of
little interest to medical practice or quality control. An
anthropologist and bioethicist with two decades of professional
nursing experience, Helen Chapple goes beyond current work on
hospital care to present fine-grained accounts of the clinicians,
patients, and families who navigate this uncharted, untidy, and
unpredictable territory between the highly choreographed project of
rescue and the clinical culmination of death. This book and its
important social and policy implications make key contributions to
the social science of medicine, nursing, hospital administration,
and health care delivery fields.
