PDF-(READ)-The Rebirth of the Clinic: An Introduction to Spirituality in Health Care

According to physician and philosopher Daniel Sulmasy postmodern thought in which philosophical and theological universals are questioned and ethics is left up for grabs has sickened the doctorpatient relationship But the ill he claims are rebellingthey seek a medicine that treats them as persons full of dignity along with a renewed form of health care that does not abandon the goods of science but also does not eschew the mystical Medical school curricula are evidence of this emerging condition nearly all schools require courses in spirituality and health care But how should health care workers view this development How should they think about soul medicine alongside scientific medicine How might this affect their practice Sulmasy an internist and Franciscan friar with a PhD from Georgetown under Ed Pellegrino introduces physicians and medical students to the basic issues in spirituality and medicine In Part I he looks at the nature of illness and healing sketching the history of Western heath care and JudeoChristian thought to provide guidance for todays health care community In Part II he examines the recent rash of empirical studies about spirituality and patient care trying to separate the legitimate from the downright kooky In Part III he takes up spiritual questions that arise in the care of patients at the close of life Here he introduces the reader to several patients and cases reiterating his conviction that for physicians attending to the spiritual needs of their patients ought to be viewed not just as a moral option but as a moral obligation.

Historical background to relationship of spirituality and medicine. Burn out. Two words that haunt those in high stress jobs, especially in the medical profession. Long hours and the literal life-and-death nature of the field creates expectations to not only be on call at all hours, but to be at one’s best, even at 3:00 AM after a twenty-hour shift. So much energy is devoted to the care of others that self-care is forgotten. Yet, more are noticing and research confirms that self-care is needed, not only for personal sanity but also for quality of work. Unwell medical professionals are not the best at treating others. And this self-care includes not just rest, food, and water, but a deeper care, one that tends the spiritual side as well. To both the spiritually active and the spiritually resistant, hospital chaplain William Dorman offers a guide to understand a more comprehensive, full-bodied self-care. Each chapter begins with case studies, concrete experiences that help unpack abstract concepts which bring much needed peace to stressed individuals. Dorman also structures each chapter to end with prayers and action steps, which offer more concrete ways to care for the self. From working as a hospital chaplain for over 18 years, and serving as the director of chaplaincy services for the largest integrated health care system in New Mexico, Rev. Dorman recognizes the stresses that come to those who have made it their profession to heal others. Healers need healing too—and this guide is the first step.
