What moment in your medical practice has stuck with you?
Our friends at the GeriPal Podcast answer this question and how it relates to "The Chaplain & The Doctor" .
This is what happens when technical skills are valued above curiosity, compassion, and communication.
How do you uplift your colleagues in stressful situations?
I don't know if I could have weathered the challenges of caring for patients without my colleague, Chaplain Betty Clark, by my side. Every healthcare professional should have a colleague to stand by them.
A reflection from my book, "Extreme Measures: Finding a Better Path to the End of Life". How do you tell people that the interventions they hope will keep them alive instead often trap them until their death? What is your experience with this?

On the road!! Betty and I have traveled to 16 cities in 8 states! It’s been a whirlwind, and at times exhausting, but there’s nobody I’d rather be driving around with! Join us for our 17th city tomorrow in Sebastopol at the Rialto Cinemas Sebastopol at 7 pm.
From our Cleveland screening - Loved meeting these two third-year medical students from Case Western Medical School (my Alma Mater!) It was wonderful to hear Viraj Gorthi say "I think that chaplains and medical students should work hand-in-hand. "
Hear my segment on Exit Strategy- a podcast dedicated to end-of-life issues- hosted by Stephanie Garry, where we discuss "The Chaplain & The Doctor". This episode explores the intersection of spirituality, compassion, medicine, and human connection. Thank you for hosting me!

Amazing to meet Christine Argento, one of my residents in the ICU in the early 2000's, at the Baltimore screening. She is now a full-fledged pulmonary and critical care physician at Johns Hopkins. How time flies!
