ASMR full physical exam but I'm an ACTUAL ex-military doctor

I talk a little haltingly at the end half because some of this stuff makes me nervous to remember, but I think it's worth it to talk about health system navigation in the military in this context, in case we've got any military folks here in the ASMR community. I hope you'll check out World of Warships with me here: https://strms.net/warshipsna_petr3pan They're sponsoring me for this week only, and as you know, I'm trying to save up to help my indigenous health project in Paraguay, and every little bit helps. Also, I had fun playing this game XD

Now look, description reader, I did all this work because I would genuinely like to get to know you better and speak into your life. So while you're here, will you ALSO spend tea-time with me? There's a bonus video in it for you if you do: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t7c1e8 That way we can stay in touch if my YouTube disappears.

***To follow my tragic adventures as I demonstrate how the American medical training system is BUILT to create a shortage of doctors who care, please listen to my show on the Emergency Escape Podcast Network: https://emergencyexit.podbean.com/?s=Death+and+the+doctor

There, you’ll hear about the deaths that convinced me we’re doing it wrong; my dream to take modern medicine to those who can’t afford it; and ultimately the reason I left the American residency system.

***Jen Finelli is a world-traveling scifi author who's gone swimming with sharks, escaped being locked in a German nunnery, discovered murals and poetry in underground urban caves, explored jungles and coral deserts, and hung out with everyone from dead people and prostitutes to secret political influencers and Senators. She is coping with life as an MD by telling you stories, and when she grows up she’ll be a superhero.

Jen is not your therapist. If you need your own therapist, please go to your primary care physician and ask them to refer you. Ask for someone skilled in CBT. Alternatively, there are therapists you can talk to online affordably (betterhelp.com/doctorjen) While Jen is a real doctor, she is not YOUR doctor; nothing she says is official medical advice, diagnosis, or disease treatment, because she has not physically examined or spoken with YOU. You have the power to fact-check. Her medical license is publicly searchable under the state of Virginia medical boards at 0101265916.
