Description
<p>In this conversation, I talk with Dr. Bob McCauley, a pediatric palliative care doctor and Episcopal priest. We explore the profound space where medicine meets the soul, discussing how he supports families through unthinkable journeys, the unexpected ways these children heal him, and what his work teaches us all about courage, presence, and living a meaningful life.</p><br><p><strong> </strong>00:00 Introduction: A Meaningful Coincidence</p><p> 02:40 What is Pediatric Palliative Care?</p><p> 06:48 How Pediatric Care Differs from Adult Care</p><p> 09:20 The Affordable Care Act's Compassionate Shift</p><p> 11:47 A Day in the Life: The Palliative Care Process</p><p> 19:46 The Emotional Impact & "Selfishness" of the Work</p><p> 23:44 How Sick Kids Healed a Doctor's Soul</p><p> 28:00 How This Work Transforms How You Live</p><p> 33:47 The Story of Benjamin: A Case in Ethics & Faith</p><p> 41:05 The Role of Faith and Doubt in Medicine</p><p> 44:01 Spiritual Experiences at the End of Life</p><p> 47:01 How to Find Help & Bob's Book</p><p><strong> </strong></p><br><p><strong>Learn more about Bob:</strong></p><p>· <strong>Book: <em>Because I Knew You</em> - available at local bookstores and online retailers</strong></p><p>· <strong>Proceeds support pediatric palliative care at OHSU and Darkness to Light.</strong></p><p>· <strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://becauseiknewyou.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>becauseiknewyou.com</strong></a></p><p>· <strong>Resource for families: </strong><a href="https://palliativedoctors.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>palliativedoctors.org</strong></a></p><br><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>JOIN MY COMMUNITY</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
