Biography
Greetings, in my mind the medical profession is one of the most honorable. Medical Professionals help the sick, injured, dying, and they give hope to those that need it most. To become a good Medical Professional, it requires a wonderful yet demanding education, clinical experience and years of practical experience. But what I believe distinguishes a good Medical Professional from a great Medical Professional is compassion.
In my personal life I have felt the powerful impact of a compassionate Medical Professional. My son died in my arms and my wife went into a three-day coma and was not expected to live. A compassionate Medical Professional figuratively and literally helped me back on my feet.
As a Volunteer Chaplain at a local hospital, I have witnessed the powerful impact compassionate Medical Professionals make on the patient as well as family and friends of the patient. I also see the impact compassion has on the medical staff.
In my presentation, I combine the positive power of compassion given to me during that tragedy in my personal life and the compassion I witness as a Chaplain.
Through my true story, poetry, songs and my Chaplain heart, I present a powerful message of hope, understanding, and compassion.
