What does it mean to “have your affairs in order”? Usually, this concept comes up after someone has died or diagnosed with a serious illness. “Did they/do they have their affairs in order?”  What "affairs" are they referring to? Financial allocations? Healthcare power of attorney? Living will? The “legacy contact” for your iPhone?? It’s human to want to put off these decisions/plans since it forces us to confront our own mortality. It's not uncommon to have the occasional existential crisis, and certainly those feelings are less than pleasant... How can we make these things less scary and daunting? What if you had a “doctor friend” to help explain end-of-life planning? Do you think you’d be willing to take action if you understood your options better? Well, in today’s episode, we did just that! We have a wonderful expert in the field of Palliative Care to help us understand how to navigate end-of-life care, both for ourselves and for the loved ones in our lives. Welcome, Matthew Tyler, MD! Dr. Tyler was a fellowship-trained in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Northwestern University. He is the Section Chief of Hospice and Palliative care at Ascension Healthcare. He has been providing care for patients in their homes, in the clinic, and in the hospital for over a decade.  He also has a BIG social media presence, with the Instagram and YouTube handle of “How To Train Your Doctor”, where he provides meaningful, kind, information regarding palliative care, hospice, and general end-of-life questions for everyone. His website, howtotrainyourdoctor.com, provides support and resources for navigating serious illness, and is totally free, and so incredibly helpful! Topics covered in today's episode include: What is "hospice"? How is it different than "palliative care"? How does someone qualify for hospice care? Is it covered by insurance? Where is hospice care provided? In a hospital? Nursing home? At home? What is a "healthcare power of attorney"? What is a "living will"? How can you create one? Does "advance directive" mean the same thing? What does "DNR" mean? Are there other options other than "do everything" and "DNR"? What is "respite care"? Dr. Tyler recommends the following resources: PREPARE for your care- a free online resources to navigate end-of-life care. Five Wishes- tools to guide decision-making for end-of-life care options.

As a black female physician myself, I've encountered moments that both challenge and affirm my place in the medical field. It's these experiences that make me particularly excited to share the airwaves with Dr. Toyin Weaver, a family medicine physician whose story of resilience and success is not just inspiring but a beacon for change in healthcare. Dr. Weaver brings to the table her wealth of knowledge in hyperbaric oxygen therapy wound care, along with insights from her roles as a hospitalist and urgent care clinician. But perhaps her most profound role is that of a mentor, guiding us through the intricate balance of professional and personal life as a wife and mother of three. This episode isn't just about the hardships; it's a celebration of the strides we're making in medicine, both as providers and as individuals.Representation matters, and Dr. Weaver's presence in healthcare is a testament to that. From the joys of being a role model to young black girls to the sobering realities of vaccine hesitancy and historical mistrust in medical institutions, we examine the layers of being black physicians in today's world. We unravel personal anecdotes of mistaken identity and racial bias, uncovering the ongoing need for frank dialogues to build patient trust. With Dr. Weaver's narrative, we underscore the significance of seeing oneself reflected in their healthcare provider. This enlightening discussion not only acknowledges the generational impact of medical mistrust but also champions the pursuit of health equity and increased representation in the field. Join us as we address these critical issues with the hope of inspiring a future where diversity in medicine is not an exception but a norm.Thank you for Listening to Beyond Clinical Walls Podcast.To find more from Dr. BCW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondClinicalWalls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_bcw/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_bcw Twitter: https://twitter.com/dr_bcw
