Dying To Tell You: The Caring Perspective E06: Clinical Chaplain Aaron
Aaron Metcalf is a board-certified Clinical Chaplain at a Level 1 Trauma Center nestled in Portland, Oregon. Aaron has lived in Oregon most of his life and enjoys the northwest outdoorsy life along with the intense and meaningful work of chaplaincy. He especially loves working with amazing nurses and doctors as they engage in the challenging world of healthcare.
Aaron shares the story of a patient who, at the end of their life, expressed a desire to die outside. As you can imagine, that can prove to be challenging in a hospital setting. But Aaron and his team listened, understood, and started taking the steps necessary to make it happen. And, in Aaron's words, it was a beautiful death.
Aaron is the co-host of No Really, I’m Fine, a wonderfully informative podcast on how we all handle—or at least try to handle—stress in our work and our lives.
