Explore every episode of the podcast The Real DNR Pod

Welcome to the very first episode of The Real DNR Podcast - a science-backed, candid roundtable hosted by a healthcare ethicist, an ICU physician, and a registered nurse.

In this inaugural episode we introduce ourselves, share how this podcast came to be, and dive into a meaningful discussion on advance care planning, end-of-life decision-making, and supporting families through some of their most challenging moments. We draw from our professional experience as well as personal stories, with the aim of creating a space that empowers listeners with knowledge, clarity, and compassion as they navigate complex healthcare choices.

We discuss the importance of:

●      Starting conversations about end-of-life wishes early.

●      Consulting with healthcare professionals about advance directives.

●      Planning for caregiving transitions before crises occur.
