E20: Meeting the Gaze

Mary (she/her), who identifies as a Midwestern transplant to Utah, describes being a health care provider and health care recipient during the pandemic. This includes being present for her family, patients, and fellow health care workers as they struggle to save lives; and her role helping others cope with death. Mary also discusses the profound impact of ‘science denial’ in today’s politics, and the attack on the US Capitol Building as seen from out West.
