À travers près de soixante‑dix pièces, dont vingt-six carnets de dessins et plus de quarante papiers peints, mais aussi des textiles et des photographies, « Ruhlmann décorateur » met en lumière une facette méconnue de cet artiste visionnaire : son talent pour concevoir des revêtements muraux et des tissus en harmonie avec ses créations mobilières. Ce focus inaugure le cabinet des Dessins, Papiers peints et Photographies, un espace intime qui met en lumière des trésors issus des collections du musée, aménagé grâce au soutien de Sakurako et de William Fisher, en l'honneur d'Hélène David-Weill et de Maggie Bult. Le nouveau cabinet des Dessins, Papiers peints et Photographies a été créé pour faire découvrir au public les très riches collections d'oeuvres sur papier qui, en raison de leur fragilité, ne peuvent être exposées en permanence dans le musée. Il offre aux visiteurs un cocon chaleureux, intime, pour révéler des oeuvres parfois célèbres, souvent inédites. Il se veut un miroir de la recherche menée dans cette source inépuisable de découvertes par de nombreux jeunes chercheurs ou experts confirmés. Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann (1879-1933), figure emblématique de l'Art déco, est avant tout célébré pour ses meubles d'exception mais son génie créatif va bien au-delà. Dans ses décors intérieurs, il orchestre une parfaite harmonie entre mobilier, textiles et revêtements muraux. Lors de l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de 1925, ses créations s'imposent comme des références majeures, faisant de lui l'un des décorateurs les plus admirés de son époque. Ruhlmann se forme auprès de son père qui dirige une entreprise de peinture, papiers peints et miroiterie. Il en hérite en 1907, ce qui lui permet de financer ses rêveries esthétiques. Les projets de revêtements qu'il invente, ou que d'autres, comme Henri Stéphany, créent pour lui, servent aussi bien pour du papier peint que pour du textile. Ils peuvent être édités dans sa propre entreprise, Ruhlmann et Laurent, ou confiés à des manufactures spécialisées. [...] Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

My guest this week is Dr. David Weill, the former director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease and Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center. He's currently the principal of the Weill Consulting Group, which focuses on improving the delivery of pulmonary, ICU, and transplant care. He's also the author of the new novel, All That Really Matters, which follows his memoir, Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant. David talks with me about how he made the shift from surgery into writing, how healthcare workers have historically been encouraged to deny the emotional reality of their work as a defense mechanism, and how that is finally shifting; the harsh and sometimes cruel realities of the transplant world; how fiction allows greater latitude in telling the truth about those realities; why transplant patients often like to go sky diving after their surgeries; and more. Episode breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 01:31 Transplant professional documented experiences, produced two books. 05:19 Hid emotions in career, later embraced vulnerability. 06:53 Health care work strains minds, career change needed. 12:14 Interesting emotional arc, unwise career decision impacts protagonist. 16:51 Medicine's learning curve: years of motivating terror. 18:01 Mentor's patient admiration influenced his demeanor. 22:32 Some should leave jobs earlier, unlike most. 26:47 Healthcare struggles balancing patient care and profitability. 29:34 Moral injury from value misalignment in healthcare. 31:57 Left clinical role; now consulting for solutions. 36:49 Saving young lives is my most memorable work. 40:27 Enjoyed writing fiction; eager to continue exploring. 42:31 Organ allocation ethics and financial incentives examined. 45:40 Talented, flawed protagonist falls and redeems self. 50:55 Next book explores questions of identity.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!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!

Some of his exploits are detailed in his memoir, Exhale: Hope, Healing and A Life in Transplant, which he wrote to preserve the amazing nature of transplant surgery, its successes and failures.But as many authors have found, writing fiction from fact is incredibly freeing. Thus, his first novel, All That Really Matters, is a fictional account of Dr. Joe Bosco, a transplant surgeon based broadly on himself with clear differences--Dr. Bosco loses himself in his own arrogance fueled by alcohol and self-destructive behaviors. A disastrous operating room mistake almost ends his career but forces him to confront the question facing so many of us: What really matters in our lives?This was a rare opportunity for a chat with a doctor who has seen the extreme highs and extreme lows of one of the most demanding and rewarding areas of medicine.

Through the lens of his own emotional and physical exhaustion, he explores the underbelly of hospital systems and the clinical, administrative, and financial issues plaguing the specialty. He is an advocate of shifting the blame of burnout away from the individual and placing it on the macro problems that contribute to physician dissatisfaction.

Dr. David Weill joins Tim to talk about those life-saving transplant surgeries, the patients, the system for care and the challenges it faces, and what it's like to be a doctor of second chances. Dr. Weill was the Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease, and the Lung Transplant Program at Stanford. Today he operates the Weill Consulting Group, where he focuses on improving the delivery of transplant care. This episode was first released December 13, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Encore_-_A_Transplant_Surgeon_Story.mp3 The first time doctors were able to transplant a human organ happened in 1954. That's when a kidney was transplanted successfully. In the decades to come, medical pioneers would master the medical art of transplanting livers, lungs, hearts, pancreases and other vital organs. While these surgeries are never described as routine, they are no longer uncommon. In the early years, individual hospitals and certain organizations managed everything from organ recovery, to transport, to transplantation. In between, they had to learn how to allocate valuable, life-saving organs for the most viable patients. In some respects, not much has changed, and that's a problem. Dr. David Weill has spent his career in organ transplantation with a focus on lungs helping those with severe lung disease. He ran the Lung Transplant Program at Stanford, and he wrote a book called “Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant.” Links Weill Consulting Group (website) Dr. David Weill, Tulane Medicine website Supply Isn't the Problem with Organ Transplants, Wall Street Journal Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant, by Dr. David Weill (Barnes & Noble) Opinion: Of course unvaccinated people should be barred from receiving transplant organs, Washington Post About this Episode's Guest Dr. David Weill Dr. David Weill has been in the forefront of developing and running some of the most successful lung transplant programs in the country. He served as Director of the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center from 2005-2016. He also developed the Stanford Center for Advanced Lung Disease which provides care for hundreds of patients with cystic fibrosis, interstitial fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and emphysema. During this period, he also directed a rebuilding effort of the lung transplant program, producing some of the best outcomes in the country, while increasing the transplant program volume more than three-fold. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Weill has testified before the U.S. Congress regarding occupational lung diseases. He has also published extensively in the medical literature regarding lung transplantation, occupational lung disease and advanced lung disease. He and his wife Jackie recently moved to his hometown of New Orleans with their two daughters.

So, there's a real shortage not only in lung, but in the other organs as well.” (04:37) (Dr. David) “A smoking related lung disease, emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Some people may have heard of COPD. That's essentially the same thing.” (07:43) (Dr. David) “There's a vast array of chemicals in a vape and what goes into the lung. But even more than that, it's thermal energy. So, in other words, it produces very high heat in the lung, and the lung is quite sensitive to very high temperatures. The damage can not only come from the chemicals that are contained in the vape oil, but also from the heat that's generated. It's much hotter than cigarette smoke.” (10:52) (Dr. David) “As marijuana increasingly becomes more mainstream in our society, we're seeing more and more research that it's not quite the benign drug that we thought it was maybe early on, mainly because there wasn't much research on it when it was illegal.” (18:19) (Dr. David) “It was very difficult for me to separate how much I cared from accepting an outcome that was not good. And, I don't think I ever really learned how to do that well over the course of my career.” (25:25) (Dr. David) “What I try to do now is coach the teams through everything and try to figure out a way to get on the same page.

“My religion was ambition and achievement. It took a long time for me to realize I wasn't the one saving their lives. I was a small part of that. I was the hand of a greater being.” – Dr. David Weill For 20 years, Dr. David Weill kept with him a list of names of people who were in dire need of lung transplants. As the Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease and Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center, he led a team of 55-60 people and was in charge of the care plan for transplant patients, assessing their psychological chances for survival and matching them with organs as they became available. Life and death seemed to be in his hands and losing a patient seemed to him like a personal failure. In this episode Dr. Weill tells the story of how he rode the emotional rollercoaster and evolved from arrogance to authenticity as he loosened his hold on control and awakened to the presence of higher power working through him. When he left the front lines of the hospital, he started Weill Consulting Group, which focuses on improving the delivery of pulmonary, ICU, and transplant care. His riveting memoir, Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant, rawly and authentically depicts his fascinating life journey. Here are some of the things we talked about: • The job of a transplant director • Learning from transplant patients • The ego's addiction to control (i.e. ‘control enthusiasts) • Insights gained from reading the Bible cover to cover • The humanity of doctors and the loss of the soul in medicine • The prevalence of post-covid confusion • The need for systemic change (government, healthcare, etc.) to come from the grassroots level • Writing as a way to process life • Telling the truth and not pretending • The importance of connection © the spiritual forum 2023

ESSENTIEL, le rendez-vous culturel de RCJ présenté par Sandrine Sebbane. Spécial Livres. Elle reçoit Zoé Brisby pour « Les mauvaises épouses » chez Albin Michel, Cécile David-Weill pour « La cure » chez Odile Jacob, Roland Portiche pour « L'homme qui ressemblait au christ » chez Albin Michel et Marie-Laure de Cazotte pour « Le gardien de l'inoubliable » chez Albin Michel. À propos du livre : « Les mauvaises épouses » paru aux éditions Albin Michel Summer ira peut-être en enfer mais elle ira avec Charlie... Las Vegas, 1952 : Elvis, Marilyn, l'Amérique en pleine guerre froide. Summer et son mari vivent dans le désert du Nevada une base militaire chargée d'étudier la bombe atomique. A chaque lancer, ils sont aux premières loges et il n'y a que Summer pour ne pas savourer le spectacle. En bonne épouse, elle joue le jeu et organise des apéritifs atomiques. Sa docilité volera en éclat avec l'arrivée d'une autre bombe sur la base, Charlie. Elle est tout ce que Summer n'est pas : forte, indépendante et sensuelle... Tandis que les hommes s'extasient sur le miracle de la science et la puissance de l'Amérique, Summer et Charlie décident de prendre en main leur destin. Zoé Brisby signe un roman intense et palpitant sur deux femmes qui font un choix de vie : celui d'être libres. À propos du livre : « La cure » paru aux éditions Odile Jacob Christine, chef et chroniqueuse gastronomique, décide d'aller perdre du poids dans une clinique au sud de l'Espagne. Sur place, elle rencontre trois femmes et un homme. Leurs destins vont s'entrelacer et les événements s'enchaîner, nous entraînant au cœur d'un centre de remise en forme, pour y découvrir dans les moindres détails, souvent hilarants, le déroulement d'une cure. Mais ce huis clos met aussi en scène le théâtre de la vie, avec les secrets et les tourments des acteurs, décrits, loin de tout conformisme, avec autant de sensibilité que d'acuité psychologique. Il offre un regard de femme sur les femmes, l'amitié féminine, leur rapport au poids, au couple, à l'ambition professionnelle, à la sexualité et au formatage social auquel elles sont soumises. Sous le vernis d'une comédie sociale légère, aux personnages hauts en couleur, un roman inspirant plein de rebondissements. À propos du livre : « L'homme qui ressemblait au christ » paru aux éditions Albin Michel Quel secret se cache derrière le plus célèbre linceul de l'Histoire ? 1291. Dans une Palestine en proie au chaos, un jeune noble disparaît mystérieusement. Pour son malheur, son visage ressemble étonnamment à celui du Christ des images pieuses. Des trafiquants de reliques vont lui faire subir les supplices de la Passion. Depuis l'Écosse, sa sœur se lance à sa recherche. Une folle course-poursuite s'engage, qui la mènera en Haute-Galilée, puis à Bagdad et dans l'empire mongol du grand Khan de Perse. Comment arracher le prisonnier des mains de ses ravisseurs ? Et comment empêcher que le linge qui a recouvert son corps ne passe frauduleusement pour le Saint Suaire du Christ ? À propos du livre : « Le gardien de l'inoubliable » paru aux éditions Albin Michel Doté d'une imagination débordante, menteur invétéré, enfant révolté et fugueur, Tristan vit avec monsieur Kurosawa, son ami intérieur, et porte à son cou « le gardien de l'inoubliable », un galet prodigieux découvert sur une plage. Devenu étudiant, chargé de faire des recherches dans les archives d'un artiste disparu depuis un siècle, il se lance imprudemment sur les traces d'un étrange faussaire. Après, notamment, Un temps égaré, prix du premier roman de Chambéry, et A l'ombre des vainqueurs, quatre fois primé, ce nouveau roman de Marie-Laure de Cazotte nous embarque dans une enquête palpitante empreinte de poésie et interroge les liens entre vérité et imaginaire.

Kathryn interviews Author David Weill, MD. A young father with a rare form of lung cancer has been turned down for a transplant by several hospitals - a kid who was considered not 'smart enough' to be worthy of a transplant - a young mother dying on the waiting list in front of her two small children - the nights waiting for donor lungs to become available, understanding that someone needed to die so that another patient could live - These are some of the stories in Exhale, a memoir about Dr. David Weill's ten years spent directing the lung transplant program at Stanford. Through these stories, he shows not only the miracle of transplantation, but also how it is a very human endeavor performed by people with strengths and weaknesses, powerful attributes, and profound flaws. It is also the story of a transplant doctor's slow recognition that he needed to step away from the front lines. Dr Weill's writings have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Salon, Newsweek, the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Post. He's been interviewed on CNN and by the NY Times.. Kathryn also interviews Author Juliet Funt. The global workforce has a busyness problem. We're overworked, overwhelmed and operating at breakneck speeds. Every space on our calendars is filled to the brim, with no minute to spare and no moment left un-maximized. Urgency is the norm and immediacy is the gold standard. It's no wonder that, as we emerge from the disruption of the pandemic and head back to the office, weary professionals are experiencing burnout like never before and 40 percent of workers globally are considering quitting their jobs. Renowned keynote speaker and executive advisor, Juliet Funt, presents a fundamental reimagining of how we approach work that meets the unique demands of the current moment.

Dr. David Weill joins Tim to talk about those life-saving transplant surgeries, the patients, the system for care and the challenges it faces, and what it's like to be a doctor of second chances. Dr. Weill was the Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease, and the Lung Transplant Program at Stanford. Today he operates the Weill Consulting Group, where he focuses on improving the delivery of transplant care. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Doctor_of_Second_Chances.mp3 The first time doctors were able to transplant a human organ happened in 1954. That's when a kidney was transplanted successfully. In the decades to come, medical pioneers would master the medical art of transplanting livers, lungs, hearts, pancreases and other vital organs. While these surgeries are never described as routine, they are no longer uncommon. In the early years, individual hospitals and certain organizations managed everything from organ recovery, to transport, to transplantation. In between, they had to learn how to allocate valuable, life-saving organs for the most viable patients. In some respects, not much has changed, and that's a problem. Dr. David Weill has spent his career in organ transplantation with a focus on lungs helping those with severe lung disease. He ran the Lung Transplant Program at Stanford, and he wrote a book called “Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant.” Links Weill Consulting Group (website) Dr. David Weill, Tulane Medicine website Supply Isn't the Problem with Organ Transplants, Wall Street Journal Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant, by Dr. David Weill (Barnes & Noble) Opinion: Of course unvaccinated people should be barred from receiving transplant organs, Washington Post About this Episode's Guest Dr. David Weill Dr. David Weill has been in the forefront of developing and running some of the most successful lung transplant programs in the country.

During this period, he also directed a rebuilding effort of the lung transplant program, producing some of the best outcomes in the country, while increasing the transplant program volume more than three-fold. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Weill has testified before the U.S. Congress regarding occupational lung diseases. He has also published extensively in the medical literature regarding lung transplantation, occupational lung disease and advanced lung disease.

"Continuing to do this work the way I was doing it was not sustainable. I needed to get off the merry-go-round. I just didn't know how. I didn't think I could stop myself—transplant was my duty, my responsibility, and what I was trained and programmed to do. It was hard to imagine leaving my post, but I needed to find a graceful exit, an elegant off-ramp that would satisfy my need for a tidy conclusion. One way or another, I wanted off the roller coaster, so I could never again be crushed by a patient like Tina. That had been my life for nearly twenty years. That was enough. I felt yanked around by the ups and downs of the job, my emotions seesawed, and all the while I had to make rational decisions for my patients. But for me, the job was no longer a pure and simple exercise in rationality. I had mastered the mechanics of being a transplant doctor— that was the easy part. But now, from an emotional standpoint, every wife was my wife, every child was my child, and every father was my father. And I needed to save them all."

Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant (Post Hill Press, 2021) is the riveting memoir of a top transplant doctor who rode the emotional rollercoaster of saving and losing lives—until it was time to step back and reassess his own life. A young father with a rare form of lung cancer who has been turned down for a transplant by several hospitals. A kid who was considered not “smart enough” to be worthy of a transplant. A young mother dying on the waiting list in front of her two small children. A father losing his oldest daughter after a transplant goes awry. The nights waiting for donor lungs to become available, understanding that someone needed to die so that another patient could live. These are some of the stories in Exhale, a memoir about Dr. Weill's ten years spent directing the lung transplant program at Stanford. Through these stories, he shows not only the miracle of transplantation, but also how it is a very human endeavor performed by people with strengths and weaknesses, powerful attributes, and profound flaws. Exhale is an inside look at the world of high-stakes medicine, complete with the decisions that are confronted, the mistakes that are made, and the story of a transplant doctor's slow recognition that he needed to step away from the front lines. This book is an exploration of holding on too tight, of losing one's way, and of the power of another kind of decision—to leave behind everything for a fresh start. Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland.

À propos du livre :  "La lumière est à moi et autres nouvelles: Et autres nouvelles" aux éditions Gallimard Dans la lignée de "Courgette", cet enfant qui a bouleversé la littérature, les personnages de Gilles Paris se placent d'emblée auprès des héros inoubliables d'Henry James, de Jules Renard, d'Emily Brontë, de Truman Capote et de Dickens. Comme eux, ils traversent les situations les plus insolites, souvent douloureuses : Lior, la bien nommée, qui voit sa mère dépérir et guérir ; Eytan, séducteur funambule qui joue avec les sentiments des petits et des grands ; Brune, Anton et Ben, qui se trouvent et se perdent dans le tourbillon de leurs premiers émois... Anton, Eytan, Angus, Julian, Aaron, Lior, Ethel, Anna, Ruth, Ambre, Brune... Tous ces héros romanesques happés par les battements d'une vie aussi sombres que lumineux se succèdent et se font écho dans un tempo étonnant. Ils ont en commun l'irréductible conviction que la lumière leur appartient aussi. Quatrième de couverture Anton, Eytan, Angus, Julian, Aaron, Lior, Ethel, Anna, Ruth, Ambre, Brune... Les héros romanesques de Gilles Paris ont tous en commun une part d'enfance déchue, le désir de s'échapper, happés par l'espoir d'une vie plus lumineuse. Des bords de Seine aux rivages du lac Léman, de la mer des Éoliennes à l'océan Atlantique, leurs destins intranquilles se nouent et se dénouent, à l'heure où les paysages s'incendient en fin de journée. À propos du livre :  "Bon à rien" aux éditions Robert Laffont C'est la rentrée dans cette famille parisienne sans histoires. Après un été boosté aux " cahiers de vacances ", Félix, le petit dernier, entre en 6e dans un nouveau collège, et c'est tout l'équilibre familial qui peu à peu va se lézarder. Car Félix, pas rebelle pour un sou mais hermétique à tout progrès, est très très mauvais élève. Cela insupporte Grégoire, le père, pour qui l'excellence scolaire est une évidence qui ne se discute pas. Cela plonge Charlotte, la mère, dans des abîmes d'anxiété aussi usants pour elle que pour les siens. Et cela horripile Louise, la soeur aînée, brillante lycéenne de terminale, furieuse que leurs parents pourrissent ainsi leur existence. Avant même le début du deuxième trimestre, chaque membre de la famille est au bord de la crise de nerfs, et dans cette cacophonie où personne n'arrive plus à se parler, c'est presque Félix, paradoxalement, qui semble le plus zen... Rythmé par les trois trimestres de l'année scolaire, Bon à rien explore avec une autodérision salvatrice un sujet source d'insomnies et de zizanie pour de nombreux parents : l'angoisse de voir sa progéniture échouer à l'école et tous les excès auxquels cette angoisse mène. On s'y croirait ! Un mot de l'auteur Ancienne " cancre ", titulaire d'un PhD en littérature française, Natalie David-Weill vit à Bruxelles. Quand elle n'écrit pas, elle y anime un atelier d'écriture et enseigne le français à des adolescents en décrochage scolaire. Les mères juives ne meurent jamais, son premier roman, paru en 2011 chez Robert Laffont, a été traduit dans trois pays, dont les États-Unis.
