No Place for Dying: Hospitals and the Ideology of Rescue

Dr. Helen Stanton Chapple
In this book, Dr. Chapple gives a critical analysis of the culture of hospital care for the dying. She interviewed clinicians of over 200 patients who had died and presents an argument for the need to change the culture of dying in the US. She describes a culture that supports the belief that hospitals rescue us from dying. She posits that rescue is the gold standard of acute care in the US, putting hospitals in a “battle with death,” which impacts how we die in hospitals.
