Refer to The Death of Ivan Ilych by Tolstoy. Write a 750-1,000 word paper that analyzes the story of Ivan Illych in terms of concepts of the "healing environment".
Be sure to address the phenomenology of illness and disease (i.e. the personal "what it is like" of illness and disease) in the paper.
In conclusion, provide a personal analysis of your own experience with illness and disease and how several factors colored that experience.
