In this insightful episode, we explore the intersection of spirituality and healthcare with Dr. Robert Klitzman, a professor of psychiatry and bioethics expert from Columbia University. Together, we delve into the role of prayer, chaplaincy, and spirituality in modern medicine, asking tough questions: Can prayer truly aid recovery? How has the shift from religious-based hospitals to science-driven institutions impacted patient care? Dr. Klitzman shares personal stories, his journey through grief, and his thoughts on how faith, hope, and human connection play critical roles in healing. Whether you're spiritual, religious, or simply curious, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how we can support those in need—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
