This is not financial advice.—-------------------------------What does it take to enter the room of a patient who has already kicked the doctor out?Join Dr. Jonathan Weinkle in this episode of Healing People, Not Patient as he welcomes Chaplain Betty Clark and Dr. Jessica Zitter to unpack a powerful scene with Mr. James Kelly and his brother Bernard. Against a backdrop of post COVID collapse in trust, racial and historical trauma, personal fear, and the sense that “you walk into the hospital and you never walk out,” they show how listening without agenda, naming fear, and simply showing up can begin to reopen the door.The work is not about fixing the entire system in one visit or guaranteeing outcomes. It is about lifting the spirit, finding common ground in hope, refusing to take a patient’s anger personally, and recognizing that presence, especially when a chaplain and physician walk in together can be powerful medicine when trust has been eroded.Top 3 TakeawaysDistrust is rarely personal at first. Patients often arrive already carrying systemic, racial, historical, or prior traumatic experiences with healthcare; clinicians who refuse to take the anger as about them stay available for the next conversation.Presence without agenda builds trust faster than expertise alone. Asking “What are you hoping for?” or “How is your heart?” keeps the focus on the patient’s story and spirit rather than the clinician’s goals.Concordance and partnership matter. Shared identity, a trusted community member, or simply a chaplain and doctor entering the room together can shift the dynamic when one person alone cannot break through.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. 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. "Our theme song, 'Room for the Soul,' is available on Bandcamp at https://jonathanweinkle.bandcamp.com/track/room-for-the-soul."

    How Not to Lose Faith in Medicine | Ep23

No day trading, no guesswork, and no constant market watching required. Ready to put your money to work? Visit start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. Trading involves risk, and results may vary. This is not financial advice.—--------------------------What happens when we expect medicine to give us certainty in a world that can never guarantee it? In this solo episode of Healing People, Not Patients, Dr. Jonathan Weinkle draws on Ecclesiastes, Jewish thought, literature, and clinical experience, to examine why medicine can create its own crises of faith when patients and clinicians mistake risk reduction for promises of good health.The conversation explores the limits of prevention, the danger of turning medical recommendations into moral judgments, and how unexpected outcomes can cause patients to lose trust in medicine. From vaccines and chronic illness to treatment side effects and unanswered suffering, the episode challenges healthcare professionals to embrace humility while continuing to make meaningful differences in patients’ lives.Ultimately, medicine is not about immortality. It is about gently nudging life toward better outcomes while recognizing uncertainty. The episode also highlights one of the most powerful tools available to healing professionals: human connection. Being present, building relationships, and helping patients reconnect with their communities may be just as important as the treatments we prescribe.Top 3 TakeawaysMedicine was never about certainty or immortality: Risk factors change odds; they do not guarantee outcomes. Over promising turns recommendations into moral tests and breeds the same loss of faith Acher experienced when the promised long life failed to appear.Hevel is breath fragile, shallow, and all we have: The task is not to eliminate the evil days but to lengthen and enrich the time while they “come not,” gently, without blowing the breath away through over treatment or isolation.Presence and relationship are powerful medicine. “Two are better than one.” Strong, meaningful connections including with clinicians who simply show up may matter more for flourishing than many of the interventions we prescribe. Community is even better.Episode MentionedEpisode 11: Dwelling in the 'Who Knows' - Chaplaincy in Crisis 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.

  • The Imposter Phenomenon: Reframing Self-Doubt as Humility in Medicine | Ep22

    The Imposter Phenomenon: Reframing Self-Doubt as Humility in Medicine | Ep22
    Sep 15 2026
    This episode is sponsored by NURPNURP helps busy physicians grow their wealth through AI-powered algorithmic trading designed for demanding careers. No day trading, no guesswork, and no constant market watching required. Ready to put your money to work? Visit start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. Trading involves risk, and results may vary. This is not financial advice.—--------------------------What if the relentless self-doubt felt by high-achieving physicians is not a personal pathology or “syndrome,” but a near-universal signal of humility in a demanding profession that constantly pushes people to the edge of their competence?In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Weinkle speaks with Dr. Phifer Nicholson, a UCLA surgery resident, Duke School of Medicine graduate, and Theology, Medicine, and Culture Initiative alum. With colleagues Drs. Mary Brandt and Holland Kaplan, Nicholson co-authored a paper arguing that medicalizing the imposter phenomenon pathologizes an experience reported by 70–80 percent of trainees and attendings, highest of all in surgery, and shifts responsibility onto individuals rather than toxic systems.They reframe these feelings as a potentially virtuous acknowledgment of human limits, especially acute for women, physicians of color, and those lower in medical hierarchies. Drawing on mentor stories, morbidity-and-mortality culture, and Jewish concepts of teshuvah, Moses, and Zusha of Hanipol, the conversation shows how naming doubt honestly, in community, can replace isolation with growth and safer care for everyone.Top 3 TakeawaysNormalize, Don’t Pathologize: Self-doubt is near-universal among competent high achievers working at the edge of their knowledge. Calling it a “syndrome” medicalizes a human response and shifts responsibility onto the individual instead of the culture.Humility Lives Between Arrogance and Humiliation: True humility recognizes both strengths and limits. Imposter feelings often signal healthy moral intuition that one is reaching the boundary of current skill, an asset, not a defect, when held in community.Vulnerability Creates Safer Systems: Senior faculty who candidly share near-misses, lawsuits, and doubts normalize the experience. This modeling, plus honest evaluation of actual competence, reduces isolation and improves patient safety 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.

With Drs. Mary Brandt and Holland Kaplan he co-authored a paper in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery reframing imposter syndrome as a near-universal phenomenon rather than a pathology, advocating for humility, community, and systemic change in surgical training.About the Host:Dr. Jonathan Weinkle is an internist and pediatrician who practices primary care at a community health center in Pittsburgh.
