Visiting Speaker to Offer Perspective as Physician, Cultural Anthropologist

An anthropologist who has spent years studying end-of-life care in Thailand and a physician actively seeing patients in a Michigan clinic may seem like two different people. For Dr. Scott Stonington, they are one and the same, and he hopes to foster an understanding of the tension between those two worlds at Toledo this month. Stonington, an associate professor of anthropology and internal medicine at the University of Michigan, will deliver the 17th Annual S. Amjad Hussain, M.D. Visiting Lecture in Medical Humanities at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct.
