The Sacred Side of Healing: A Roundtable on Spirituality in Medicine #84
Healing Beyondthe Body: Spirituality in Medicine
Can spirituality make us better physicians—and helppatients heal, even when medicine alone cannot?
In this thought-provoking episode of Lessons MyPatients Taught Me, I sit down with Rabbi Matt Cohen, Dr. Ronald Sobecks, and Dr. Kevin Baldie to explore the often-overlooked role of spirituality in modern healthcare.
Together, we discuss how faith, hope, meaning, andpurpose can influence healing, help patients navigate suffering, and strengthen the physician-patient relationship. Whether you are a healthcare professional, patient, caregiver, or simply interested in the intersection of medicine andspirituality, this conversation offers practical insights and moving personal stories.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What spirituality means in a medical setting
• Why clinicians should ask patients about their spiritual beliefs
• When prayer with patients is appropriate—and when it isn't
• How faith and hope build resilience during illness
• The common values shared across many faith traditions
• Real stories of spiritual support that changed patient care
