COVID-19 and Faith: An interview with an OSU physician, Dr. Seuli Brill
COVID-19 has sent shockwaves through our lives and our societies. While the pandemic has forced most OSU students and faculty into physical distance and isolation, it has thrown healthcare professionals into a high-stakes effort to save lives, at the risk of their own health. Most of us are forced to watch the news of this pandemic from the comfort of our homes, while physicians have had to drop almost everything and shift their focus to COVID-care.
But this crisis also provides the opportunity to ask deeper questions. When the battle for life and death is brought to the forefront, how does one’s religious or non-religious worldview impact how one faces this intense challenge?
Join us as we hear about the experience of a doctor at The Ohio State University, Dr. Seuli Brill, and why her faith matters during this crisis.
