In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, Grant Hewitt, CMDA’s Southern Director, unpacks the powerful metaphor of “cut flower medicine”—a picture of modern healthcare severed from its Christian roots. From the influence of early Christians who pioneered hospitals, to chilling lessons from Nazi doctors, Grant challenges us to consider: What happens when medicine loses its moral foundation? Joined by Rev. Bill Reichert and host Dr. Mike Chupp, this conversation explores: • The Christian origins of hospitals and compassionate care • Why secular healthcare struggles to sustain true human dignity • Disturbing parallels between Nazi medical ideology and today’s ethical debates • How Christian students and professionals can stand firm in a spiritually dark culture • The importance of community chapters and mentoring for lasting impact Whether you’re a student, professional, or simply care about faith and medicine, this discussion will inspire you to reclaim the roots of healthcare that honor Christ and uphold the value of every human life. #FaithInHealthcare #ChristianDoctors #MedicalEthics #CutFlowerMedicine #CMDA
