In this episode of Heal the Healers, host Inga Hofmann, MD, a pediatric hematologist and physician coach, tackles the challenge many Christian physicians face: balancing a demanding medical career with their faith. We'll discuss the 'patient first' mentality and how it can often become an obstacle to spending time in prayer and attending church. Through heartfelt insights and conversations we've had with fellow Christian physicians, we highlight the dangers of letting work overshadow our spiritual intimacy. We invite you to reevaluate your priorities with us, emphasizing that while compassionate patient care is essential, it should not replace our relationship with God.
