A Conversation with David Weill, MD. Calling for Change to Instill Humanity Back into Healthcare
Dr. David Weill, previously Director of the Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center, is on a mission to shed light on the things that need to change in healthcare and champion the priority of humanity over profits. Joining us on The Nursing Way, he will share insights and talk about the freedom that, as a novel, his new book All That Really Matters has afforded him in exposing some hard truths.
Bio (in his own words)
It has been my privilege and passion to work in the life-changing practice of organ transplantation. During my exciting career, including 11 years as Director of the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program and founder of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease at Stanford University Medical Center, I saw first-hand the amazing and challenging aspects of transplantation and its effects on patients and transplant team members. Today, I help patients, patient’s families, and transplant teams navigate their transplantation journey to reach optimal outcomes. I am an author and a consultant to leading transplant programs and in occupational lung disease. Through these roles I’ve discovered the power of sharing my experience with others through writing and speaking. Today, I’m using that experience to reach out, inform and encourage all who are affected by organ transplantation.
