We welcome Lee Tomlinson, the author of Compassion Heals: From Self-care to Healthcare. He’s also affectionately known as Patient Lee from his TED Talk, where he wowed his audience with more than showing up in a patient gown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MldORJ9M9Zg

He’d be the first to tell you he led a charmed life until his world crashed around him when his doctors discovered Stage 3+ throat cancer. Lee will share with us:
• What inspired him to create “The C.A.R.E. Effect Movement
• How does trauma is the result when treatment is lacking in compassion
• What is compassion, and why is it a powerful change agent
• The life-saving benefits of giving others compassionate care
Plus more...

More About Lee: After a lifetime of extraordinary experiences as a highly successful entrepreneur and long-term customer service expert, Lee Tomlinson faced a battle with Stage 3+ throat cancer. His journey through cancer and encounters with compassion-less care led him to severe depression and thoughts of suicide. It opened his eyes to the life-saving benefits of compassionate care.

Fortunately, a deeply kind and caring physician renewed Lee’s will to live and inspired him to create “The C.A.R.E. Effect Movement.” Now a man on a mission, Lee has discovered his true life’s purpose: to inspire, motivate and challenge medical professionals to provide nothing less than their most compassionate care for their patients, colleagues, hospitals, and most importantly—themselves.

Did you know 77% of doctor’s visits are due to stress-related and stress-exacerbated illness? Our guest, Michele Johnson MHS, PA-C, is a Duke-trained Family Medicine Physician Assistant and Certified Professional Life Coach. She has traveled to Cuba and China to learn holistic approaches to medicine and healing in addition to her traditional Western medicine training.

Known worldwide as The Pain Free PA and the author of ‘Pain Free: How to Live a Full Life Despite Chronic Pain,’ Michele shares with us her successful stress-reduction strategies and
• Her personal inspirational and motivating story to a pain-free life,

More about our guest: Michele Johnson, MHS, PA-C, specializes in conquering stress. She is known for her unique approach to personalized healthcare and her trademark’ Stress Care as The New Healthcare.’ After being laid off from a failing telecom company and surviving on $141 per month in food stamps, Michele found herself living in a rat and roach-infested basement apartment. Despite the daily pain and fatigue of Fibromyalgia, she was denied Disability assistance and sunk deeper into depression and despair. She clung to her mother’s advice like a chant. “No matter what, you can always pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start all over again.” That advice played over and over as Michele explored ways to survive and conquer living with daily pain. She pulled her life together and now helps others to live a full life too. And now, with her book, ‘Pain Free: How to Live a Full Life Despite Chronic Pain,’ and her ‘The Pain Free PA Community,’ Michele is making a bigger impact in helpings others struggling with daily pain to lead happy, successful lives.
