Consent-Driven Care with Dr. Crystal Beal

45min | 02/01/2021

Description

Dr. Crystal Beal is a non-binary femme physician, who provides high-quality, expert, and individualized queer and #genderaffirming medical care through QueerDoc.com. QueerDoc’s mission is to raise the bar and lower the barriers to accessing #genderaffirmingcare. Dr. Beal discusses just how frequent trauma is and how what they call “consent-driven care” is an extension of #traumainformedcare. For more on trauma-informed care, see my episode with Dr. Megan Gerber.

As #physicians, we shouldn’t just assume that we have permission to touch our #patients in a way that we deem appropriate. We may assume that it is implied that if they are in the office for a thyroid exam, we can just examine their neck, but keep in mind, there may be a #traumahistory. They teach us at what point during the visit we should be asking for consent for parts of the #physicalexam and even the way we ask some parts of the history. This can help us #buildtrust with patients who may have had experiences with the #healthcaresystem that has given them cause for mistrust. We also discuss when it is necessary to have a chaperone.

Dr. Beal attended Florida State University College of Medicine. They completed their training at Valley #FamilyMedicine #Residency achieving Board Certification in Family Medicine. Continuing to see gaps in care for their #LGBTQ+community, Dr. Beal sought extensive additional training in #sexualhealth, #queerhealth, and gender affirming care including self-study, continuing medical education trainings, and shadowing experts at Seattle Children’s #GenderClinic.

While starting QueerDoc, Dr. Beal supported their #privatepractice through work providing care for people with #substanceusedisorder. Working in this field has continued to ignite Dr. Beal's passion for #equityinhealthcare and advocacy for vulnerable populations. Now board-eligible in #AddictionMedicine, Dr. Beal plans to sit for the exams in 2021.

About Succeed in Medicine

Was your training enough to handle everything physician life demands? From lawsuits to leadership, career decisions to challenging conversations, balancing the personal with the professional — not enough was addressed in medical school, residency or fellowship. This show fills those gaps so you can live up to the expectations that come with the white coat — not just in the exam room, but in all the places your MD follows you. Your host, Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice ENT, is right there with you — navigating the same challenges and bringing in world-class guests to teach, as he puts it, “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s cycle.” With nearly 500 episodes and close to half a million downloads, Brad has built a trusted space where physicians come for brass-tacks, immediately-applicable advice. You don’t need another certification. You need a podcast that covers personal finance, private practice, side-gigs, main-gigs, reacting to bad reviews, misinformation, social media, charting, parenting, communicating, negotiating, leading, managing, teaching, learning and what to do when someone yells, “Is there a doctor on board?”
