The Mayo Clinic: A Documentary

by Ken Burns – PBS – September 25, 2018

"The Mayo Clinic," is a two hour video that "chronicles the history of this unique medical institution, from its 19th century roots as an unlikely partnership between a country doctor and the Sisters of Saint Francis — forged in response to a devastating tornado in 1883 — to its position today as a worldwide model for collaborative patient care, research and education,"

Discussion about the show: Amanpour and Company.

FAITH, HOPE AND SCIENCE

DJE:  I watched this documentary on September 25th.  It is sensitively done and deserves a repeat viewing.  It would be a powerful viewing experience for premedical students and trainees.
