We are BACK!
I’m so excited to share a new episode with you all. You can now watch the podcast on YouTube, Spotify, and Substack, or if you prefer to listen to the audio only, it is available on all the main streaming platforms.
This episode is a conversation I had with oncologist and author Robert Collins, MD.
He is a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where he specializes in blood cancers and is the director of the Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Therapy Program and the Combined Adult and Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Program. Dr. Collins is also a recipient of the institution’s Watson Award, which is the institution’s highest honor in clinical medicine.
We discuss his new book, You Visited Me: Grace and Healing in the Modern Medical Center, available from Ignatius Press.
I read this book in less than a day, and it’s incredible. Each chapter provided so many things to ponder and pray through, and I felt emboldened to go out and serve well in my career. You can purchase the book here.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Dr. Collins’ journey from agnosticism to Catholicism and the impact friendship with his patients
- Miracles and changes of hearts he has witnessed over his many years of practice
- Emotional resiliency, especially a high-stakes field like oncology
- The experience of writing a book and advice for any aspiring authors
