playing god? presents… "Gut Strings,"a musician’s experience with uncertainty around an unexpected colon cancer diagnosis. Loren Ludwig, previously protected by confidence in his ability to learn his way past personal obstacles, must now grapple with medical uncertainty. Bioethicist Gail Geller draws on 35 years of research on uncertainty in medicine to reflect on the profound impact of what we don’t know and understand.
