When dying does not go well: a qualitative study

When dying does not go well: a qualitative study
BMC Palliative Care, by Christof Breitsameter; 3/24
Several studies deal with the question of what constitutes a "satisfactory death". A smaller number of studies deal with unsatisfactory dying processes. And only a few shed light on unsatisfactory deaths that take place in hospices and palliative care units, which see themselves as places conducive to a "good" death. What also remains largely undiscussed are the ethical aspects that accompany the observation of an unsatisfactory course of death.
