90: We need to talk a lot more about not dying with Dr. Daren Heyland
02/13/21 • 48 min
There is a BIG difference between End Of Life Planning and Serious Illness Planning.
If you think estate planning is getting your wills and powers of attorney or healthcare directives set up for taking care of things when you die or are about to die, you might be making a big mistake.
If you end up in an ER, the doctors aren't going to look at any end of life planning you might have in place if they think they can still save your life. This requires a whole different way of thinking about planning for serious medical illnesses.
On the show today I speak with critical care physician, Dr. Daren Heyland, who is going to give us a look behind the scenes at what really happens when people and their loved ones are making decisions about their medical care when they are seriously ill, or terminal. We’ve talked a bit about estate planning on the podcast before, and my guest recently attended a financial planning seminar where the positioning of how and when certain parts of an estate plan come into place could have used some fine tuning. He’s also going to discuss an initiative he’s been spearheading, called the Plan Well Guide, Plan Well Guide is a FREE tool to help people learn about medical treatments and prepare them for decision-making during a serious illness, like COVID-19 pneumonia for example.

In this episode I speak with the president of BMO InvestorLine, Silvio Stroescu, to get his response to the long wait times for clients calling in for customer service that all discount brokerages seem to be experiencing.
Silvio provides some shocking numbers showing the absolute explosion in new account openings and trading activity. Year-over-Year increases in trading activity have reached +200% in some recent months. The first nine days of 2021, which is really only five trading days, saw more transactions than all of January 2020.
Why the surge? And what are they doing to reduce wait times. Silvio candidly answers these questions and more.

Mostly Money - 90: We need to talk a lot more about not dying with Dr. Daren Heyland
Transcript
When you present sick to me, as a doctor, at the point where I have to make decisions to effectuate whatever you might have wanted to plan, I don't know, if you're dying, I know that you're sick, I know that you could die.
