The Doctor's Gaze | Dr. Bob Cutillo

The Veritas Forum

How we care for our sick tells us much about who we are as a society. How should we view those who come to us for care? For Dr. Bob Cutillo, a physician at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, what we see depends on how we look. At a Veritas Forum from the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Cutillo draws on central themes from his book, Pursuing Health in an Anxious Age, and through examining ancient perspectives on patient care, including Dante, Nietzsche, and the Bible, argues that looking back may help us see the way forward.
