“About the presence of death and dying I don't remember the society in the 1950s being so skittish as it has since become. People still died at home, among relatives and friends, often in the care of a family physician. Death was still to be seen sitting in the parlor, hanging in a butcher shop, sometimes lying in the street.” PeopleStillsSometimesHomeCareRememberDeathLyingStreetsDyingSittingDiedShopsDeath And DyingPhysiciansButchersParlorRelatives And Friends Author:Lewis H.
