Talk:Dying

Convert

Maybe it would be a better idea to turn this into one or more pages dealing with specific forms or aspects of dying. - Kimiko 15:34 Apr 19, 2003 (UTC)

If you are saying that there is a vast amount of territory to cover on this general subject, the yes indeed! The best way to go about it, I think, would be to develop an article (or series of articles) and then ponder the best title to put them under. Add to Death? Or somewhere else? The only thing I'm sure of is that this particular title isn't the right place. Anything that could go here would be better at death, and anything that doesn't belong in death should be in an entry with a more specific and meaningful title. The first task, I think, is to work out what's not already covered. Tannin

I have converted the page into an article using materials from other pages and other Wikipedia language versions.C933103 (talk) 11:51, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Redirect to death?

I see it as unlikely that dying will have been typed in for anything other that death. The link to dyeing is a from a spelling makes and Wikipaedia cannot provide links for every mispelled word. Surely it would be easier to add to death, For the song by song by XTC from their 1986 album, see Skylarking, or not provide any link at all seeing as it has no page of its own. Alternately, Death could link to dying (disambig) or death (disambig) could incorporate it. FrstFrs 02:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Death or Senescence do seem like better options if only for the fact that every other stage is a noun rather than an adjective. "Old age" is another possibility as it is a generic cause of natural death, which is fitting for stages of human development. -- sarysa (talk) 19:26, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

As part of the UCSF SOM Inquiry in Action class, we have made two major changes to this Wikipedia page: (1) Building the Culture section, and (2) creating a new Medicalization section. Regarding change (1): we noted that only two cultures were discussed (Christianity/Chinese Buddhism). Also, there was no information on how cultural differences affect medical treatment or approaches. Regarding change (2): as medical students, we wanted to note that medicalization of the process of dying and improve knowledge on what steps may be taken in the medical setting. Therefore, we added information on supportive care, end of life care, and resuscitation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CS-UCSF (talk • contribs) 21:53, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Peer Review for UCSF SOM Inquiry Course:

SIGNS OF DYING:

• Consider having a heading/simple phrase for each bullet in signs of dying like
  • “Confusion: restlessness; visions of people and places that are not present; pulling at bed linens or clothing (caused in part by changes in the patient's metabolism).”
  • “Breathing disturbance: Rattling or gurgling sounds while breathing, which may be loud (death rattle); breathing that is irregular and shallow; decreased number of breaths per minute; breathing that alternates between rapid and slow (caused by congestion from decreased fluid consumption, a buildup of waste products in the body, and/or a decrease in circulation to the organs).”

CULTURE:

• “In some cultures, death is the complete termination of life. In other cultures, death can include altered states of being, like sleep or illness.”
  • I think this would benefit by highlighting some cultures that does not require going into the reference.
• “in some cultures of the South Pacific”
  • Consider linking the area you are talking about (corresponding Wikipedia article)
• Spelling “definitions” in third paragraph
• Good transition to medicalization :)

MEDICALIZATION:

• Consider linking Resuscitation, CPR, Hospice, Palliative Care (corresponding Wikipedia articles)
• Consider making Resuscitation into paragraphs? Does not read like a list.
• “Instances when CPR…” sentence can be separated into two sentences for clarity
• Consider discussion of patient goal discussions, maybe like a guideline on that discussion (all measures, no measures, comfort care)

Thank you for your review and suggestions. In terms of the resuscitation section, I agree in that it will be useful to add linked articles for CPR, hospice, and palliative care. Also, I agree that restructuring the bullet points and sentences into a paragraph form will help clearly convey the information so it is easily understood.

Death

It is very sad when someone is deceased or dead but they will always be in your heart. 73.93.95.193 (talk) 06:06, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
