Latest conversation is live! The Integration of Faith and Medicine in Clinical Practice w/ Dr. Jennifer Suh - Check it out here- https://www.drdeepa-tlc.org/blog/dr-jennifer-suh

For most physicians, the hospital room and the place of worship have always been kept carefully apart. Science belongs in one. Faith belongs in the other. And that boundary has quietly shaped how doctors are trained, how they speak to patients, and what they feel permitted to bring into the room.

But what happens when a physician begins to question that separation?

There are patients whose pain has no clean medical answer. Families carrying wounds that no prescription will touch. Moments in the exam room where the most honest thing a doctor can say is that what this person needs goes beyond what medicine can offer.

For physicians of faith, those moments raise a question that medical school rarely prepares them for: what do you do with what you believe, when the patient in front of you may need exactly that?

To explore that question, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Suh, board-certified pediatrician, fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and ordained pastor. Together, we talk about what it looks like to bring faith into clinical practice honestly and practically, why the fear of being seen as the "crazy doctor" so often lives more in the physician than in the patient, and what she has found when she stopped leaving Jesus outside the door.
