#194 Code Status, CPR, and the Choices We Face – Dr Matthew Tyler, Palliative Care Physician and Founder of How to Train Your Doctor

What does “code status” really mean — and how does it affect the care we receive at the end of life? In this episode, Dr. Matthew Tyler returns to clarify common misunderstandings about CPR, DNR, and medical interventions during serious illness and the frailty of old age. We explore when full code makes sense, when it probably doesn’t, and how patients and families can make informed, values-based decisions. We also discuss Dr. Tyler’s new caregiver coaching services, through which he offers personalized support when palliative care isn’t available locally. I think everyone should explore these issues and have someone like Dr Tyler on their team to talk things through!
