Author of All That Really Matters

S3 EP 135: Sept. 11th

​​​

​

Today, before we get on with our interview information, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the events that happened on September 11th, 2001. We send love and prayers to every person affected by this devastating attack on Americans. We will never forget!

​

In this episode, Dianne gets to share her wonderful conversation with David Weill, MD. They had a fantastic discussion about books, medicine, and the best flavor of ice cream. You will not want to miss out on this chat with the incredibly intelligent, talented, and charming David Weill, MD. 

​

Being the only son of a doctor and a nurse, David, seemed destined to become a physician himself. His entry into the medical field began when he was just a teenager. He was very comfortable in the hospital environments from the start.

​

His comfort was clearly an asset to David’s career path — choosing to specialize in pulmonary medicine, specifically with lung transplants. Taking a job with Stanford University Medical Center, David would eventually work his way to becoming the hospital’s Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease and Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program.

​

However, after spending decades on the frontlines of such a demanding job, David decided it was time to take a step back to refocus his life. In 2016, David moved back to New Orleans, where he established the Weill Consulting Group. He is the driving force behind this group that focuses on improving pulmonary, ICU, and transplant care. 

​

This new direction in David’s life also led him to more creative outlets. In 2021, David wrote his memoir, Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant. This book focused on the emotional roller coaster of working in transplant medicine. In 2024, he followed his memoir with a fiction novel called, All That Really Matters. Both books have received high praise in online reviews. ​
