Ryan English, PA-C (The Caring Perspective)

Sometimes fixing the problem right in front of us creates harm down the road, especially in healthcare and with patients who are facing the end of life.

Physician's Assistant Ryan English joins Cody this week on Dying To Tell You: The Caring Perspective to share the story of a patient that inspired him to get into palliative care, a patient whose situation presented the challenging decision to forego surgery to address an immediate concern in exchange for better quality of life as they faced their final days. 

Cody and Ryan also talk about the rewarding joys of being palliative care professionals, and the very expensive question of "Tell me more about that." 

Ryan English is a certified Physician’s Assistant and a Texas native who discovered his passion for medicine on a mission trip along the Amazon river. Ryan is very interested in Advocacy, and has been actively involved in TAPA and AAPA since he was a PrePA student. As a father of a 15-year-old and 10-year-old, Ryan loves spending his time with family, camping, and woodworking.
