This chapter presents a short piece that appeared in the Daily Mail, around the time that a film was shown on television containing scenes of a patient dying in the care of a hospice home care team. ‘Why I Welcome TV Cameras at the Death Bed’ shows the author's continued willingness to engage with wider public debates about death and dying and to use the popular press as a vehicle for these, when required.
