Night Hospital, The Globe and Mail

night_hospital.gif

This illustration was published August 7, 2009 in The Globe and Mail with a story by Andrea Skorenki about the underwhelming experience of pronouncing someone dead in hospital.

Skorenki writes, "I wrote a note in his chart saying that I had verified the lack of cardiac and respiratory activity and pronounced death at 2:30 a.m. That was it. The poor patient had passed away alone, with a stranger marking his passage. The event was recorded without any drama or ceremony." Read the story or listen to the podcast at Facts & Arguments.

Art Director: David Pratt.
Collection of Chase McMurren.
