Is There a Benedict Option for Today's Healthcare w/Dr. James Breen | Ep. 173

How can faithful Catholics reclaim the healing mission of medicine in an era of ideological pressures and fragmented care?

Dr. Michael Dauphinais sits down with Dr. James Breen, family physician, author of Benedict Medicine: A Catholic Response to Rescue the Profession's Healing Mission, and founder of the Benedict Medicine practice in Fort Myers, Florida, to explore the tensions between Catholic anthropology and contemporary medical systems. During their conversation, they also discuss practical solutions like independent primary care models and the vital role of physicians in accompanying patients through suffering, illness, and end-of-life decisions.
