HOPE

1st Heart Attitude of leaders...

Leader as healer needs to be...

Dispenser of

HOPE


Leader‘s should dispense hope

Why?



-Dr. Harold G. Wolf, MD, Harvard

―Hope,

faith and a purpose in life, is

medicinal.

This is not merely a statement of belief but a

conclusion proved by meticulously controlled

scientific experiment.‖

Why leader‘s should dispense hope

Leaders should dispense HOPE

Drugs are tested by

‗DOUBLE BLIND‘ METHOD


Pharmaceuticals today are tested by the

‗double blind‘ method, meaning the

administering doctors themselves do not

know which is the true drug and which is

the inert, ‗control‘ drug.

Leaders should dispense HOPE


They must be tested that way for one

simple reason:

the power of human hope

Help Heal With HOPE


Before double blind testing, virtually all,

new drugs showed

spectacular results,

regardless of their chemical content.

Help Heal With HOPE


Mystified researchers eventually found the

doctor‘s demeanor to be the key factor in the new drug‘s success:

By his smile, voice, and attitude, the doctor would unknowingly convey

confidence and hope, convincing patients of the probability of improvement.

―When the effects (of the placebo) are

A NOCEBO CASE STUDY


THE STORY OF

NICK – the

worrier

Nick got accidentally locked…


Since he was in a refrigerator-boxcar, Nick assumed that the temperature inside was a freezing 0°C. He started shivering and

thought to himself, “I'll freeze to death if I don’t get out of here.”

Nick wrote a message to his wife and family on a cardboard box:

―So cold,‖ ―body's getting numb. If I could

just go to sleep. These may be my last words.‖


A NOCEBO CASE STUDY

The strange thing was the boxcar‘s

refrigeration unit was broken and the

temperature inside was just around 16°C —

far from freezing.

But the autopsy on Nick‘s body showed that

he had frozen to death!

Placebo heart surgeries anyone?

Help Heal With HOPE

Businessweek, reporting on the economics of

the billion-dollar heart surgery industry,

reported the same placebo effects on

those who had thought they had

undergone laser heart surgery to improve

their blood flow.


Help Heal With HOPE


A Harvard Medical School associate professor, Dr. Roger J. Lahan, reported that those who went through the real laser surgery and those who went through the ―sham

operation‖ got the same benefits: less pain and improved heart

function.

Help Heal With HOPE


So why not

make patients expect good

results from the treatment protocol,

medicines, or surgery that the doctor

recommends?

Problem


According to Andrew Weil,

MD:

Culture / Cycle of

•Negativity•Pessimism

•Fear

Are doctors HOPE weary?


Dr Weil says the medical

profession has a ―hope-weary‖

attitude towards patients

Simply put: Too many doctors are deeply pessimistic about the possibility of people

getting better, and they communicate their pessimism to patients and families.

Are doctors HOPE weary?


“Many of the patients who come to see me have been told by doctors, in one way

or another, that they will not get better, that they will have to learn to live

with their problems or expect to die from them, that medicine has nothing

more to offer them.”

Help Heal With HOPE

Some of the most common complaints that

Dr Weil hears sound like this:


―Doctors don‘t take time to listen to you or answer your questions.‖

Help Heal With HOPE




―All they do is give you drugs;

I don‘t want to take more drugs.‖

Help Heal With HOPE




―They said there was

nothing more they could

do for me.‖

Help Heal With HOPE




―They told me it would

only get worse.‖

Help Heal With HOPE




―They told me I would justhave to live with it.‖

Help Heal With HOPE




―They said I‘d be

dead in six months.‖

Are your doctors pessimists?

Dr Weil says he gets too many patients who

have come to him discouraged and

suffering not only physically, but also

emotionally from the negative,

pessimistic treatment methods of some

doctors.


Are your doctors pessimists?

One of Tingting‘s first doctors said:

―She is very sick…

She is not going to get better. She will be on medication for the rest of

her life!‖


Help Heal With HOPE

A very wise king named Solomon once said,

―Reckless words pierce like a

sword, but the tongue of the

wise brings healing.‖

Case Study : Dr. HitnKill


Lance Armstrong,cancer survivor and seven-time Tour de France winner, was

diagnosed with brain cancer, testicular cancer and prostate cancer at 25, before biking his way to win the Tour de France six more times.

Are u giving hope or fear?

You will crawl out of here…I‘m going to

kill you. Every day, I‘m going to

kill you, and then I‘m going to bring you

back to life. We‘re going to hit you with

chemo, and then hit you again, and hit

you again. You‘re not going to be able to

walk.


-Lance Armstrong’s first doctor

It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life, p 99.

Help Heal With HOPE

By the time the doctor was finished,

Armstrong was ―taken aback‖ and his mother was trembling.

Since Armstrong wasn‘t a sadist, he took his business elsewhere where the doctors

were more gentle, optimistic and hopeful, yet down to earth.

Hope is the only antidote to fear.- Lance Armstrong

•When was the last time that you received a

“hopeful” word from a friend or stranger?

•When was the last time that you gave a “hopeful”

word to someone who needed it?

Creating an encouraging

environment of healing.

Help Heal With ENCOURAGEMENT




1. Place pictures or paintings in your

room that will either bring up happy

memories or encourage a smile..




1. What were they thinking?

Psychology Today: the

blood pressure and anxiety levels of

patients shot up when they looked at the paintings of Elizabethan Queeens displayed

in the waiting room of a Canadian hospital.



The effect on the patients was so

negative, ―the paintings of Elizabethan

Queens with stern expressions and creepy eyes had to be moved

elsewhere.‖




We‘re going to bring

you back to this.




2. Play ―happy‖ music.



3. Flowers, plants, trees

and fresh air. In 1984, the scientist Roger S.

Ulrich discovered that ―patients who looked out

over a cluster of trees instead of a brick wall had

shorter post-operative stays and took fewer painkillers.‖

Why not have a healing channel?


THE WATERS OF

LIFE:Regenerating and Relaxing

Music and scenes of quiet

lakes, waterfalls, brooks to

relaxation.




What if there were a healing tv

channel in your hospital?

Programming that shows gardens

of the world. Kew and Victoria

Gardens,Niagara Falls, Boracay,

Bali, Amazon, Gold Coast...



What if you had a show or

According to an article titled God Power:

This just in – religion and spirituality work

by John McManamy:

There are about 1,200 studies on

―the healing power of faith and

the health effects of spirituality.‖



He cites the work of Dr Harold Koenig,

founder of the Center for the Study of

Religion/Spirituality at Duke University.

These studies where Dr Koenig was

personally involved include the following

cases.



A 1998 study of nearly 4,000 people aged 65

years and older which found the risk of

diastolic hypertension 40 percent lower

among people who attended religious services

at least once a week and prayed or studied the

Bible at least daily.

Lowered Risk of Hypertension



A 1997 study of more than 1,700 older adults from

North Carolina which found that persons who

attended church at least once a week were only

half as likely as non-attenders to have elevated

levels of interleukin-6, an immune system protein

involved in a wide variety of age-related diseases.

Lowered Risk of

Age-related Diseases



A 1998 study of 87 depressed older adults

which found those who recovered from

depression the fastest corresponded to

the extent of their religious belief.

Faster Recovery from Depression



Rheumatoid Arthritis patients

relieved of pain and swelling

after prayer sessions

This study was conducted by Dr. Dale Matthews, associate professor of medicine, Georgetown

University School of Medicine, Washington, D.C. The study abided by the

standards and protocol established by the American College of Rheumatology.



Reduced Hospital DaysA study of 542 patients aged 60 or older

admitted to Duke University Medical Center

which found those who attended religious

services weekly or more reduced hospital

stays by more than half.



Reduced Hospital Days

People with no religious affiliation spent an

average of 25 days in the hospital compared to

11 days for patients affiliated with some

religious denomination. Patients who attended

religious services weekly or more also were 43

percent less likely to have been hospitalized

in the previous year.



Higher Success Rate in SurgeryA 1995 study of 232 patients at Dartmouth

Medical School which found that elderly heart

patients were 14 times less likely to die

following surgery if they found strength and

comfort in their religious faith and remained

socially involved.



Spirituality and Healing in

University confirms that

―prayer... could have astounding

therapeutic effects.‖



Dr Herbert Benson, a Harvard Medical

School cardiologist and founder of the Mind-

Body Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital,

was, in his own words, ―not a religious

person.‖

But study after study showed him

that prayer is good for his patients.



I used to be skeptical about these stories

and testimonies of healing by prayer — even after I

became a Christian. Some of these stories were just

too, well, ―miraculous.‖

And then I became a participant and

witness myself... I saw my wife

healed.

July 2000 Here‘s my wife, skin and bones jutting out from her body. Still weak from the six month ordeal with systemic lupus, she‘s smiling because she was now hopeful that she would eventually recover. The picture was taken with our goddaughter, Chava, the day after being discharged from the hospital

October 8, 2000. 3 months later after doctors and friends thought that my sweet wife was going to die, here she is celebrating her birthday! She continues to see her doctors for check-ups, and her doctors continue to express amazement and joy at her “miraculous” recovery.

The Psalmist (Psalm 90:12)


15, August 2010

Email from Dr Elmo Lago

―from The Mind of Healing to the Heart of

Healing‖

As I gathered my Interns for their weekly

teaching rounds, I hesitated for a moment as

to what to teach them that afternoon. For

earlier I had a sad encounter with a Resident

who commented on one of my patients with

Leukemia. I asked him how the patient was

and he flatly answered, "nothing we can

do, SHE WILL DIE SOON".


Although I felt sad for the patient, I felt

sadder for the Resident Physician.

I wondered ... how could someone just lose

hope for a patient?

Facing my interns, I told them about this

incident. I began to tell them that although

doctors think they can do it all, they really

can't. I told them that not all healing is in the

textbooks.


The diagnosis and the treatment--these may

be very important to patient care but the

greatest part of healing I believe, is the

patient having the hope to live, the hope for

healing… Like when:

-The patient is encouraged to move on

despite the odds.

- Encouraged to eat even when it is difficult

to do so. - The patient being loved during the

ordeal and even when everything is going

really bad, that there are people praying for

them to get through that ordeal.


That afternoon, we did not study anything about the presentation of diseases, the diagnosis of diseases nor the management of diseases.

We studied how to HELP our patients. We thought of ways to give Hope, to Encourage, to Love and to Pray.

As an ending exercise, I asked them to draw (using crayons and a bond paper) something they think would encourage our patient (Her name is Lala), something that would give her hope. They did!



The next day, I eagerly gave their drawings to Lala. She had this wide smile when she received it. Still in pain because of her Leukemia, she still managed to say a soft "Thank you".

The following day, when I made my rounds, the pictures were on the wall and she was seated when she greeted me. She was discharged 2 days later, (NOTE: SHE DIDN'T PASS ON!)



2 weeks later, she sent me a card for that gesture of hope. Her fight against her cancer is still not over but with her renewed hope and strength, and with God's favor, I know she will be alright.

From that time, every group of interns that rotated under me, I lectured on The Heart of Healing hoping to inspire them to continue giving HELP to patients under their care.

Laryngectomy)
