Unfortunately, the issue of death has been denied, hidden, and thus feared by our current society. Many people are afraid of death and the dying process because no one knows exactly what takes place as a person dies. Nurses look at death as failure and therefore shy away from those dying patients whom they believe they have "failed." “Two of the two and a half million persons who die annually in the United States are elderly many of which die in hospitals” (Kirshhoff, KT,. Spuhler.
Even though during the civil war, many medical advancements were being made, they were not being made quick enough to save approximately 400,000 soldiers who died from disease and infection. The main reason why many soldiers didn’t know of disease and infections was because the doctors assigned to their camps didn’t know of them.

Discrimination and stigma of dual diagnosis can be isolating, which often results in patients not seeking care in the first place. Individuals with a dual diagnosis face treatment challenges, this often relating to the lack of appropriate services available for patients with a dual diagnosis. Lack of funding for public substance abuse and mental health delivery systems consequently results in people with a dual diagnosis being placed on waiting lists, leaving them untreated or with the option of private mental health services. Patients may not be able to access private mental health services, due to their lack of money or inadequate private health coverage to cover the long-term treatments, which are required for patients with a dual diagnosis. Services available to a patient with a dual diagnosis are often restricted due to their co-morbid disorder, until this disorder is treated they are unable to access these particular services (Drake, Essock, Shaner, Carey, Minkoff, Kola et al, 2001).
