Many thanks to David Weill, MD, former Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Diseases and the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Weill is the author of the new novel “All That Really Matters” and the memoir “Exhale”. He’s working on a 3rd book to be published next year.

I read “All That Really Matters” and couldn’t put it down. Although I am not a transplant surgeon like the protagonist, we definitely shared some similar experiences during our training and early careers. The novel leads us through the complex world of organ transplants, with the author as an expert guide. Even those without a medical background will have no difficulty following the plot and may perhaps identify with a character or two. Dr. Weill told me that the novel was a vehicle that allowed him explore the moral and ethical issues involved in human organ transplant.

During our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Weill filled me in on his 20 years of life-saving organ transplant work. Although immensely gratifying, this 24/7 activity wreaked havoc on his work/life balance. Finally, Dr. Weill left his position as Director of the Transplant Program at Stanford to become Principal of the Weill Consulting Group, which focuses on improving the delivery of pulmonary, ICU, and transplant care. This transition allowed him to move back to his hometown of New Orleans, continue to help improve the transplant system, and provided an opportunity for him to write.

During our interview, we also discussed the practicalities and rewards of writing fiction, his long-term goals, and how he gets the writing done.

It was indeed a pleasure interviewing David Weill! More about David can be found on his website: www.DavidWeill.com.

You can purchase “All That Really Matters” or “Exhale” on Amazon.

Many thanks to Renee Fleming, Grammy Award Winner, recipient of the National Medal of Arts, and renowned soprano who has brought the experience of classical music to millions of fans. In 2023, the World Health Organization appointed her as Goodwill Ambassador for Arts and Health. Renee is also the editor of a new book: "Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness."

During our 20-minute discussion, Renee discusses her upbringing in a musical household. Her parents were high school voice teachers, and it was natural for her to sing and learn to play a musical instrument. As time passed, she became more passionate about learning to sing. Other than music, she stated that her only other career choice was to become the First Lady President of the United States! But it wasn't until her late 20s that she discovered she had a "beautiful" voice.

When she had somatic pain that impaired her singing, she discovered that scientists were studying music and the brain. After a discussion with Frances Collins of the National Institutes of Health, she curated the book, "Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness." Renee has become a cheerleader for the scientific study of music and the concept that "the arts should be embedded in healthcare."

Renee Fleming also wrote another book, "The Inner Voice," about learning to sing. It guides young singers and their families through the process of becoming a professional singer.

You can purchase "Music and Mind" or "The Inner Voice" on Amazon.

Many thanks to Adam Elnekaveh, author of "Rebuilding Adam: The Tragedy." Before his accident, Adam's life was on track. He was in top physical shape and preparing to market a new fitness app.

It all changed while he was on vacation with his high school best friend in Thailand. While exploring Phuket on rented motorbikes, he suffered a life-threatening accident. His buddy found Adam lying in a pool of blood with a severe head injury. Admitted to intensive care, Adam spent ten days in a coma. His injuries were so bad that he was mistakenly pronounced dead.

During our 30-minute interview, Adam recounts his emotional and physical struggles as he spent grueling months in rehabilitation. The loss of independence was one of his most significant challenges. Adam's parents played a crucial role in his care and recovery.

Adam endorsed swimming and tennis as two valuable activities that helped him “rebuild Adam.” He is now working full-time and writing books about his journey.

Many thanks to Frank Forencich, author of "Activism is Medicine," for appearing on this episode of "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

Frank suffered a multitude of childhood illnesses and immune disorders, which subsided after he discovered sports in high school. Witnessing the positive changes to his health, he became passionate about fitness, "the body, movement, and exercise." He devoted significant energy to martial arts, obtaining Black Belts in Aikido and Karate. Frank espouses the importance of "spirit" and "journey" as well as "destination" when tackling large-scale problems like climate change and threats to biodiversity.

Frank studied human biology at Stanford University. His interest in human evolution led to a trip to Africa to visit the "ancestral environment" of human beings. These experiences formed the backdrop for his book, "Activism in Medicine."

Many thanks to Daniel Barvin, MBA, for joining me on the "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

My good friend Michael Weisberg, MD, introduced us. I interviewed Mike on Episode #14 about his second novel, "In the End."

Daniel has an important story to tell. His family has been affected multiple times by genes that cause ALS and dementia. This first-hand experience prompted Daniel to focus his work on ALS education and advocacy. Daniel is the Co-Founder of Endthelegacy.org, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals at risk for familial ALS.

Daniel is also the Vice President of Operations and Patient Advocacy at Coya Therapeutics, a new company that hopes to find treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and dementia. Dr. Stanley Appel's research on neuroinflammation inspired the therapeutic direction of Coya Therapeutics. Dr. Appel has been actively caring for ALS patients for decades.
