Abstract
Pope Francis had defined a "throwaway culture" in which "Human life, the person, are no longer seen as a primary value to be respected and safeguarded." In this article we present two common situations encountered in clinical practice in which it is essential to counteract throwaway culture and embrace a culture of encounter: in working with patients who are isolation settings and those who require translation services. We conclude that, as Catholic physicians, it is our duty to ensure that we are working to counteract throwaway culture in our daily clinical practice by embracing and exhibiting a culture of encounter.
