002 Visiting Hours 54:00 Jay Allison, Carmen Delzell, Barrett Golding, Ceil Muller, Brent Runyon, Nancy Updike & [Hearing Voices]

"The Kiss and the Dying" is host Ceil Muller's (of KQED) etiquette list for those who may be dying, and for the soon-to-be survivors. "Fire and Ice Cream" is from Brent Runyan's book "The Burn Journals," and Jay Allison's Life Stories radio series. Brent's nurse in the burn unit asks the 14-year-old out for ice cream... and a date? In "Our Father" Brian Brophy documents his dad's passing, with recordings of his family, the chaplain, the hospital and hospice staff, and the wake. Carmen Delzell helps heal her "Grandmother's Hip." And Nancy Updike watches patients pass the time with TV in "Channeling Health."
