title: Get out of my potato patch: a biased view of death and dying.
abstract: The acceptance of death has become a subject of note in both the professional and mass-market literature. In these personal reflections, the author argues that popularized views of dying have little to do with reality and ultimately add to the pressures facing those who must contend with the prospect of death.
