The Contemporary Deathbed : The Ultimate Rush (Language, Discourse, Society)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
How do we picture ourselves dying? A "death with dignity"--the darkened room, and a few murmured farewells? Or in the lights-flashing, siren-wailing, chest-pumping maelstrom of the back of an ambulance hurtling towards an ER? Over the last decade, the two most robust vehicles of popular culture: film and television, have opted for the latter scenario. This book examines the high-tech death of the twenty-first century as enacted in our hospitals and portrayed on our TV screens.
