    What happens when work breaks the body and spirit?

    In Episode 9 of Healing People, Not Patients, Jonathan Clemens, a PA specializing in occupational medicine, shares insights from his work with long-term injured workers. With over 20 years of experience transitioning from IT to medicine, he discusses the challenges of balancing patient care with insurance, employers, and ethical dilemmas like malingering. Drawing from biblical texts and personal stories, they examine the loss of income, social connections, and self-worth due to injuries, the moral injuries faced by healers, and strategies for recovery and reintegration. Clemens emphasizes the role of faith in sustaining purpose and treating patients with dignity.

    Top 3 Takeaways:

    • Barriers in Occupational Medicine: Clinicians must navigate multiple stakeholders, patients, insurers, employers, while detecting fraud without punitive care, treating all with respect despite a 5% malingering rate.
    • Impact of Injuries on Identity: Workers lose income (replaced at only 60%), social ties, and self-actualization; disability fixation can lead to despair, especially for immigrants or older workers, but retraining and community support offer paths to recovery.
    • Dangers to Healers: Healthcare professionals face physical and moral injuries from violence, burnout, and systemic pressures; faith and patient-centered approaches, like allocating time for stories, help mitigate these risks and restore purpose.

    About the Guest:

    Jonathan Clemens is a Physician Assistant specializing in occupational medicine in Olympia, Washington, with a background in family medicine, sleep medicine, pain medicine, and eating disorders. He holds a PA degree from Pacific University and a Doctor of Medical Sciences from A.T. Still University in Arizona. After a successful career in IT security, he transitioned to medicine at age 40, focusing on long-term injured workers in Washington's industrial insurance program. He met host Dr. Weinkle at the Conference on Medicine and Religion and shares a passion for integrating faith, ethics, and patient care.

    About the Show:

    Healing People, Not Patients explores ways to enhance medical practice by infusing it with compassion, humanity, and a deeper sense of purpose, aiming to help healthcare professionals rediscover the "soul" of their work. Framed around the four questions of the Passover Seder, it probes how to transform medicine for the better, promoting an empathetic and supportive approach that empowers patients to create meaningful, sober lives, while drawing on Jewish teachings about community and friendship.

  • From Illness to Exodus - Stories from our Journeys | Ep8

    From Illness to Exodus - Stories from our Journeys | Ep8
    2026/02/03
    How can ancient storytelling techniques illuminate modern illness experiences?In Episode 8 of Healing People, Not Patients, Aviva Rosenberg, CEO of the Gaucher Community Alliance, and Caryn, an occupational therapist living with Gaucher, share powerful narratives inspired by the Exodus story. Using the "First Fruits Declaration" as a framework, a four-line summary of enslavement to freedom. They unpack personal journeys with Gaucher disease, from childhood pain and experimental treatments to adult transitions, emotional isolation, and advocacy. Caryn recounts her pioneering role in early drug trials, while Aviva emphasizes the need for stories to bridge gaps in medical understanding, address inequities in newborn screening, and empower patients, especially in neuropathic types where treatments are limited. The discussion highlights common challenges like dismissed pain, clinician humility, and the push for policy changes, offering lessons for all chronic illnesses on listening deeply and fostering equitable care.Top 3 Takeaways:Storytelling as Advocacy: Using concise narratives like the Exodus summary helps patients articulate complex experiences, making unmet needs (e.g., pain, fatigue) visible to clinicians and policymakers who might otherwise rely on normal lab results.Transitions in Chronic Illness: Gaucher patients often face physical, logistical, and emotional shifts, from childhood dependence to adult independence, requiring proactive management of care, insurance, and mental health to combat loneliness and burnout.Pushing for Equity and Recognition: Newborn screening for Gaucher varies by state, leading to inequities; advocacy through stories and community support is crucial to expand access, fund research, and ensure all patients, including those in rural areas, connect with expert providers.About the Guest:Aviva Rosenberg:Aviva Rosenberg, JD, is CEO and co-founder of the Gaucher Community Alliance (GCA), a patient-led advocacy group for Gaucher disease. As a Type 1 patient and healthcare attorney with 25+ years' experience, she focuses on education, storytelling, policy advocacy like newborn screening, and addressing unmet needs like pain and fatigue in both Type 1 and neuropathic communities.Connect with Aviva:Website: www.gauchercommunity.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GaucherCommunity/Instagram: @gauchercommunityallianceCaryn:Caryn, an occupational therapist from DC with Type 1 Gaucher, was among the first pediatric participants in 1988 NIH enzyme replacement trials at age 8, averting life-threatening crises. Now in her 40s with five children, she manages chronic pain, fatigue, and emotional transitions, drawing on Jewish faith and resilience to share her Exodus-like journey of independence.About the Show:Healing People, Not Patients explores ways to enhance medical practice by infusing it with compassion, humanity, and a deeper sense of purpose, aiming to help healthcare professionals rediscover the "soul" of their work.

  • Healing and Humanity: Ideas for the Next Generation of Medicine | Ep7

    Healing and Humanity: Ideas for the Next Generation of Medicine | Ep7
    2026/01/20
    How can healthcare become more human, more responsive, and more compassionate?In Episode 7 of Healing People, Not Patients, Dr. Jonathan Weinkle speaks with six University of Pittsburgh students about creative, patient-centered projects they developed to address real gaps in medical care.Sophia Smallwood and Thai-Hy Lam, propose an AI-driven support platform to help patients with iron deficiency anemia feel heard and connected, especially when their symptoms are dismissed. Ryan Ross and Trevor Staab introduce the idea of “narrative pain consults,” giving young patients uninterrupted time to tell their stories. Finally, Shruti Chandrashekar and Guillermo Cruz explore how using pediatric simulated patients in medical training can improve communication with children and teens.Across all three conversations, a powerful theme emerges: technology and training matter, but listening matters more.Top 3 TakeawaysLived Experience Must Be Valued: Patients, especially women and young people, are often dismissed when lab numbers don’t fully explain their symptoms. Listening to lived experience can reveal critical information that tests alone miss.Storytelling Improves Care: Giving patients even a few uninterrupted minutes to share their story can strengthen trust, reduce frustration, and improve clinical outcomes. Narrative pain consults offer a practical way to do this.Kids Deserve a Voice Too: Children and adolescents communicate differently than adults. Training medical students with pediatric simulated patients helps future clinicians develop empathy, age-appropriate language, and better listening skills.About the Guests:Sophia Smallwood: A sophomore neuroscience major at the University of Pittsburgh with minors in chemistry and religious studies. Sophia is passionate about patient advocacy and drew on her mother’s experience with iron deficiency anemia to help design an AI-based patient support model.Thai-Hy Lam: A sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh on a pre-PA track, majoring in natural sciences. Tahi is involved in the Vietnamese Student Association and pre-PA club and is interested in how technology can strengthen patient advocacy.Ryan Ross: A senior neuroscience major at Pitt planning to apply to medical school. Ryan helped design the concept of narrative pain consults after interviewing a friend whose chronic pain was repeatedly dismissed.Trevor Staab: Also a senior neuroscience major at Pitt and aspiring physician. Trevor co-developed the narrative pain consult model to bridge gaps between patient experience and clinical decision-making.Shruti Chandrashekar: A freshman molecular biology major on the pre-med track. Shruti co-authored a project exploring how pediatric simulated patients can improve medical education and help children feel more respected and heard.Guillermo Cruz: A public health major on the pre-med track from Allentown, PA. Guillermo helped develop a practical budget and implementation plan for integrating pediatric simulated patients into medical training programs.About the ShowHealing People, Not Patients explores ways to enhance medical practice by infusing it with compassion, humanity, and a deeper sense of purpose, aiming to help healthcare professionals rediscover the "soul" of their work.
