Modern Death: How Medicine Changed the End of Life
by Haider Warraich
I read this almost immediately after I finished reading The Art of Dying Well: A Practical Guide to a Good End of Life by Katy Butler, and it definitely improved my experience of reading Modern Death.
Starting with The Art of Dying Well, which is centered on the individual experience of going through the end of life, provided a less intimidating and more grounded/human understanding of the process of dying in America. When I started reading Modern Death, I felt more equipped to understand what Dr. Warraich was talking about and that I wasn't diving into a realm of ideas I hadn't explored before.
Modern Death provides a very thorough, multi-faceted, and well-researched look into the medical and death industries in America.
While I think I preferred the more personal approach to dying provided by the Art of Dying Well, Modern Death is a great read for anyone who is interested in more of the technical/medical side of the American medical and death industries.
Would recommend.
