Description
Dr. Sisti discusses how considerations about intellectual, mental, and physical disabilities have entered into conversations around scoring for scarce resources and triage protocols. He explores how risk mitigation approaches and public health guidelines are possibly based on ableist calculations of risk and benefit, and have harmed individuals with serious mental illness and their families.
