00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:01.439
The randomness of nothing.
00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:02.959
This is your host, Rashad Woods.
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.120
I have an absolute outstanding guest today, and this she's the embodiment of the American dream.
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.759
By way of Jamaica, became a soldier in the U.S.
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.439
Army, then came through the ranks and became an officer as well.
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.359
Then, as if this story isn't great enough, she then becomes a medical doctor, right?
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.399
So you can't make this up.
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:18.800
Dr.
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:20.640
CM Queen Williams MD.
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:21.440
Thank you so much, man.
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.280
Yes, thank you for having me.
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.480
It's a pleasure to be here.
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:25.920
It's a blessing indeed.
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.399
Thank you.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:27.199
Absolutely.
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.640
I I would I I went to your website, I read the inspirational story.
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.520
You come from Jamaica, and then you end up going, obviously, to Rutgers University.
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.320
And can you just tell us that unique path that you took?
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.039
Well, when I first came to America, I came after I graduated high school.
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.200
Um, my shout out to Merle Grove High School down in Kingston, Jamaica.
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.079
So I came immediately after I graduated high school.
00:00:50.240 --> 00:01:00.560
Um, and you know, when I first came, I was in Miami, and everyone was trying to get you to do track because everyone from Jamaica does track, and you know, oh, do you want to go to college here?
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.799
But I just didn't feel like I was ready for college at the time.
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:13.439
And I tried some odd hand jobs, working in a restaurant, working in a store, and I didn't think that's what I came to America for.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.000
Uh so I saw the commercial, be all you could be.
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.480
I yes, I must have hit my head or something.
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.120
I pick up the phone and I called the recruiter, say this this can't be it.
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.959
I'm ready to go, come get me.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:25.760
And they did.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.879
They came to my home, got me, went, I took the test, all that ASVAV.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.760
Um, I wanted to do medical, do medicine at the time, but the wait was like nine months.
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.599
I was like, no, I gotta get out of Miami.
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.000
If I stay here, nothing good is gonna happen.
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.159
So I did 54 Bravo, which is the nuclear biological and chemical warfare type specialist stuff.
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:47.280
I do decon.
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.799
So I was the one, you know, with the gas, gas, gas, gas.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.040
You put your mask on, and um it just it was fun at the time.
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.959
But they lied to me like everybody else.
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.239
I thought I was gonna be in a lab, working in the lab, all that good stuff.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.799
Instead, I was in the field half the time with the infantry guys and all of that stuff.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.840
It it was it was fun, but it was hard.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:10.719
I'm not gonna lie.
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.680
Being enlisted in the military was no joke back then.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.960
So that's how the whole story starts with me getting into radiation stuff and getting enlisted.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.360
I just knew there was a better path.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.199
I wasn't sure how to get there.
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.199
Prayerfully, uh I did the military stuff, got enlisted, and I'll stop there in case there are other questions.
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.560
But that's how it got started.
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.639
So I didn't straight to college.
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.319
I went into the military first.
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.199
I was broke.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.080
I was broke.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:36.800
I have no money.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:37.680
I'm from Jamaica.
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.840
I had to get some money somehow.
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.759
Um, and so when they say be all you could be and the GI Bill and all that stuff, I was like, okay, all right, I I think I could do that.
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.919
Well, I mean, like, let's be honest.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.800
Like, let's, let's, let's up, let's give you a lot of credit because you went into quantum, you know, and and you know, in the medicine.
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.639
Like, you have you know, titles and pronunciations that, you know, if I don't phonetically sound it out of a dictionary, I can't say it.
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.360
So um, but it's amazing what you do.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.080
You're now you're a radiation oncologist as well, too.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.039
Yes, correct?
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.199
Yes, yes, which is absolutely stellar because it's about cancer treatment and you work with the VA as well, too.
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.080
And there's a number of things that you're highly specialized in.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.159
Something so personal as cancer.
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.400
You know, when you started to get in that field of work, I obviously want to touch on your military career as well.
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.080
What's that like in the field of cancer research work and cancer care?
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.639
So um, it's funny you say cancer research work because when I was at um Rutgers, that's where I started.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.439
I started doing research and um looking at certain receptors in the brain.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.199
I work with mice, et cetera.
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.000
But I was doing too much at the time because I was doing track and feel, I was R O T C plus a biochemistry major, something had to give.
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.039
So I stepped away from research at that time.
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:58.000
Um and so when I looked at going to medical school, I didn't plan on going into cancer.
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.199
I didn't plan on ending back up doing radiation.
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.960
I on the I was at the track team, I was a college um student athlete at the time.
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.520
And it's, you know, I have to make this point.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.639
The people you hang around, it's important, right?
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.840
Because they influence you.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.720
I didn't think I could go to medical school, to be honest with you.
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.480
You know, the the money part being the biggest portion, because that's a big debt.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.480
And so the the folks I hang around on the track team, they were all sort of pre-med.
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.240
I was biochemistry, and I just couldn't see the dream at the time.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.319
And so when I started the whole journey to medical school and stuff, you had to choose your specialty.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:46.560
I didn't choose cancer or radiation initially, because being athletic, I thought I would go into orthopedic surgery or, you know, physical med and rehab, something along that line.
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.040
And while I was on a rotation at Walter Reed, this is Walter Reed in DC, that's now closed down.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:59.360
I was on a urology rotation, and following this patient came from the Marshall Islands.
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.319
And those who are in the military or deal with stuff, the Marshall Islands, they deal with some stuff out there.
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.519
I'm gonna leave it at that.
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.240
So anyway, he came in and was on urology, and all this guy knew was that, you know, he had some kidney stones.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.040
And I was fortunate to be part of the surgery.
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.879
And I'm telling you, this guy's kidney was huge.
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.120
It was like a basketball.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.839
And when you took it out of him, his body shrunk down.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.240
Now, I had to go to something else, and when I came back, he had all these markings on his body.
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.519
I was like, what happened?
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.319
And the family was asking me questions.
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.040
So I had to research, well, what happened in that one time?
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.720
I had a test to take, came back.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.839
Well, the cancer had then spread to his bones, and he had to get radiation.
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.600
And I'm just like, radiation?
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.839
But I studied radiation when I was enlisted.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:53.040
But we'd talk about atomic bombs and exposure and distant time shielding, not in treating cancer.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.360
There was talk about it causing cancer.
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.160
So that's where the whole cancer part for me and the light bulb went off.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.120
Oh, this is it.
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.639
I've been dealing with radiation.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.240
This is this is the route for me.
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.959
So that's how I got into doing the whole cancer part and focusing with radiation to treat cancer.
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:27.120
Do you find, you know, I know studies obviously you hear, you know, tidbits of it, but since you're in the in the field itself, it are people, you know, and I say this sensitively, do you see more people more susceptible to certain diseases based on, you know, breakdowns of demographics, so to speak?
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.800
That people are more susceptible to to, you know, prostate or other other types of cancers.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.399
Do you see a certain patient that are more likely to receive certain diagnoses?
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.240
Well, that's that's a great question.
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.079
That's an awesome question, Rashad.
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:49.279
Um, and this is known that there's certain demographics or certain um cultures, certain race that are more prone to get certain types of disease.
00:06:49.439 --> 00:07:02.879
Now, um, speaking from the African American or from the black community, prostate cancer is being, I always say that it's folks tend not to try to go in and get screening, right?
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.360
And that's one of the things I've done a lot of is trying to advocate to get in.
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:20.800
Now, when it gets to cancer and certain race, I will I will speak about what interests me because I am from the Caribbean, I am black, and so I'm trying to help those who tend to not want to go in and see the doctor, right?
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:34.800
And so um, when it comes to prostate cancer, and I treat a lot of that because I was in the military, and that's why I'm still working with the VA and doing Nexus letters and things, is that being black is a risk factor for prostate cancer.
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.600
Just as how you'd say smoking is a risk factor for lung cancer.
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:46.079
Well, being black, you are you're at risk for having a more aggressive type of prostate cancer as well.
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.360
So it doesn't help that if you are in your 40s and you don't know your history.
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.079
So you have to know there's a history of a history of cancer that runs in your family.
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.079
You need to know what your PSA is.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.000
And if people are like, well, what's a PSA?
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.319
Okay, then you need to have a conversation with your doctor.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:03.519
You need to know your number.
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.560
And I always do that when I talk to the congregation, my church.
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.639
I always try to do cancer awareness.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.000
And I always say that the gentleman, you know, you need to know your number.
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.279
Like, what number?
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.800
You need to know your PSA.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:27.199
So there are, for example, also in the Asian community, because sometimes they eat a lot of salted fish, they tend to be more prone to like gastric cancer, gastric being the stomach.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.320
So they're more prone to gastric cancer because of their dietary stuff that they eat.
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:38.720
Um, and some are also more prone to getting what they call nasopharyngeal cancer, which is like behind the nose area.
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.840
So there are some, but I'm seeing a shift recently.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.399
I'm seeing younger folks getting diagnosed with diseases that are more prone for older folks.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.799
So something like bladder cancer is typically seen in folks in the 60s, and yet I'm seeing folks in the 30s with bladder cancer.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.879
Like, what is going on, right?
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:04.480
So we have to look at things that are um causing some of these things, like smoking, how much you're drinking.
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:10.080
So it's not one thing that causes it more, but I am an advocate.
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:11.440
Go get screening.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:19.360
If you're going to go look after your vehicle and you get your oil changed and your tire rotated, why are you not looking after your own body?
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:56.600
Well, I think that you know, I think that sometimes, you know, the fear of not of hearing there's something wrong with you, right?
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:17.320
So it, you know, it sounds like a cliche to say this, but you know, if you have sometimes if I don't know, it can I can wish it away, even if there's like telltale signs of certain things, you know, changes in stool, um, type constant fatigue, you know, um maybe having blood in in stool or urine or things like that.
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.120
It you can't tile in all that away, so to speak.
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:20.759
You know what I mean?
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:25.480
So it's uh it's it's so sensitive because people don't want to believe that there's something wrong with them.
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.720
And you know, that's such a sensitive topic.
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:41.159
And for you to dive into that, I think what I always found fascinating about you know radiation surgery is like you're taking what could be in your field a dangerous weapon and you're having it on somebody's body to eradicate a disease, right?
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.080
And so it's nuclear medicine.
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.759
Well, yeah, it's along that line, but it can cause damage as well.
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.200
But again, we're focusing the beam to that area.
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:58.440
And the way I describe it to patients mostly, it's as though, you know, we we're not gonna do the whole body because then that would cause problems.
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.799
I just did a blog on that, uh, a friend reach out regarding radiation exposure, right?
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.320
That's like for the full body.
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.720
But when we're doing treatment, we're focusing on a specific area.
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.879
So it's it's uh like taking a uh a grape and drying it up into a raisin, right?
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.720
Then it's no longer functional.
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.559
Now, if something is close by, it may cause collateral damage.
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.559
But with the advance in technology now, it's just amazing.
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:35.320
From when I started medicine back in 2003 to now, it's like um I always tell folks it's similar to like cell phones back then to what we have now.
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.559
So we have advanced quite a bit.
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:53.720
I think what's fascinating is that even like the history of you know, um the effects of radiation, you know, we've come a long way from when we had our own soldiers that we dropped the bomb on, you know, in in the middle of like Nevada or, you know, it's one of those states, Arizona or Utah, and they're like, hey, stand up, see what happens, right?
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.159
I watched the documentary on it.
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.039
I mean, that was how they learned about the effects of the atomic bomb, right?
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.799
Or or nuclear or nuclear weapons.
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:10.600
They literally were like, stand up, and then they, you know, and then obviously what happened to those individuals, you know, they they suffered the residual effects of being tested as being the test dummies, so to speak.
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.240
And then you have areas like bikini island, right?
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.840
Where with people who don't know what bikini island is, that's where the word bikini came from.
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:26.279
It's like, you know, off the coast in near Australia, New Zealand area, and then they're like, hey, let's see how these bombs work, and then all these people in this area can't even drink the water and they got sick.
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.799
So, you know, it it it ties into how things have been advanced and more humane with when it comes to these type of uh type of things.
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:59.000
Yes, and and we we're still learning, even with the the Hiroshima Nagasaki stuff, and uh there there were two years in my life where I did almost like a sabbatical, and I traveled and I taught about radiation incident and accidents, and I did a um an article, this was back in 2015, making the radiate the radiologist aware that hey, if something goes wrong, they're gonna call on you.
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.320
You're gonna be the one they're going to call on.
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.559
So it's um it's it's fascinating how things go full circle.
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.039
And I just feel absolutely blessed.
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.679
And sometimes the things I do, I wear so many hats, but it's it's life.
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.039
As I said, be lifing.
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.200
I'm enjoying what I've been blessed with.
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:28.360
So yeah, we I'm willing to talk about and educate folks on the cancer, on just being aware of like dirty bombs and things like that, and how time, distance, shielding, like all of that.
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:29.960
It all just comes full circle.
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:36.039
It's it's amazing that you, you know, you have such a varied background and you've been able to dive, you know, your story is so inspirational.
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:41.000
And you know, like I said, when you know I heard you're an oncologist, you know, it's it makes me step my game up because I can't talk there.
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:48.759
Sometimes when I have guests, I can kind of sit back and have some sort of relatability on the topic that they're just I I I can't even, I couldn't fake this if I tried, right?
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.519
So like I have no background in medicine, I didn't serve in the military.
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.440
So like this is all information that you're giving to me on this platform.
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:07.399
So, you know, you also talk about women's health, you know, you're based right out of Atlanta and menopause, which obviously sometimes can be the brunt of jokes in movies and and and and but it's a very serious thing that that occurs.
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:08.600
Yes, it is.
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:15.320
And you know, I I talk about the menopause from even from a treatment perspective, right?
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:27.559
Because that came into being when I was treating prostate cancer and patients are giving hormone therapy, and they're like, oh, I'm having all these hot flash-ins or my body is changing, or you're turning me into a female.
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:33.879
It's like, no, what the it's doing, it's lowering the testosterone, and so the estrogen is more.
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:41.000
And the wives always, I'll say 99% of the time, would say, Well, now you know what I'm going through when I'm having menopause.
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:48.120
But during menopause, it's just a change in your body, and there's a perimenopausal portion time where folks need to be aware.
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.919
So I got more into it because I'm not a gynecologist or anything along that line.
00:14:53.080 --> 00:15:02.519
Yes, I do medicine, but I really start to focus on it because treatment can affect, or the cancer treatment can affect going into early menopause, right?
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:10.919
So if there's something to remove the ovaries or the treatment caused the function to go down, then these symptoms present itself.
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:29.240
So I come from it from a more symptomatic um approach and treatment cause symptoms approach as to how to address uh these uh experiences of perimenopause or menopausal type hot flashes, you know, losing your hair, body changes, feeling tired, etc.
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:40.120
But underneath it all, I think the message that I want to leave with your listeners and you included, Rashad, is that you have to take care of yourselves.
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.960
You should get your screening.
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.039
Don't wait for something abnormal to happen, right?
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.960
You're not gonna wait until your car breaks down.
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.440
I'm sorry, I used to work in the motor pool when I was enlisted, so I had my own five-ton truck.
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:53.080
Right.
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.240
So I love using cars as analogy and comparison.
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.039
So you're not gonna wait until your vehicle breaks down.
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.039
You're better than any hybrid vehicle there is.
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.720
More complicated than any high.
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:10.519
Just go in once a year, take care of yourself, just check it out, right?
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.039
Yeah, what what's what you know?
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.159
I I know there was a company one time, I think they said it's pretty innovative.
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:16.679
So the process is very expensive.
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:25.080
They do like they have like this really massive machine, and for like 15 or 20 grand, you can get like a test ran on every possible thing that could be affecting your body.
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.240
Like it's more deeper than a traditional MRI.
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.120
I I saw it on CNBC about a year or two ago.
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.480
The name escapes me.
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:37.720
But you know, for people who would try to, you know, use your local physician, you use your local, you know, to get something.
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.919
I know they offer services in various places, but it's very important to be screened.
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:51.000
It's important to be screened, but I'm I'm not for um looking for everything, you know, because there are a lot of false positives, right?
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:52.840
There are lots of false positive.
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:57.480
So a lot of time I remember coming up with the MRI, for example, breast cancer.
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.960
You have to be careful and educate the patient.
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.559
There may be a false positive.
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:03.639
We may see something that means nothing.
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:11.480
So you have to take into um effect or into consideration that you are doing something that can be anxiety-producing, right?
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.360
Because the results are not always available right away.
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:20.759
That is why I encourage you to get a family doctor or primary care doctor that you can have conversations with.
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:26.679
No need going to look for brain cancer if you're fine and you don't have any symptoms and there's nothing.
00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:28.119
There's no need to look for that.
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:36.680
There's no need to go looking for stomach issues unless you're having reflux and it's keep going and the medicines don't work.
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.319
There are certain steps for certain things.
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:44.039
If if if the tires on your car is good, you're not just gonna change your tires out.
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:45.319
It's not necessary.
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.440
But at the same time, you need to be aware, right?
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.039
So, yeah, you just need to be aware.
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.599
And the full body scan, go ahead.
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.960
No, I was just gonna say, no, it makes sense, you know, because you're the doctor, I'm not.
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:56.519
You know what I mean?
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.359
Well, everyone's trying to be doctor now.
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:04.759
They're going on the internet and searching up stuff and they're coming across words and stuff, and the more they read, the more they don't know.
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:01.439
00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:02.959
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.120
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.759
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.439
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.359
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.399
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:18.800
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:20.640
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:21.440
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.280
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.480
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:25.920
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.399
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:27.199
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.640
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.520
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.320
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.039
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.200
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.079
00:00:50.240 --> 00:01:00.560
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.799
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:13.439
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.000
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.480
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.120
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.959
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:25.760
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.879
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.760
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.599
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.000
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.159
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:47.280
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.799
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.040
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.959
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.239
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.799
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.840
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:10.719
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.680
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.960
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.360
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.199
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.199
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.560
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.639
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.319
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.199
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.080
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:36.800
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:37.680
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.840
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.759
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.919
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.800
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.639
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.360
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.080
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.039
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.199
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.080
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.159
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.400
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.080
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.639
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.439
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.199
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.000
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.039
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:58.000
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.199
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.960
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.520
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.639
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.840
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.720
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.480
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.480
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.240
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.319
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:46.560
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.040
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:59.360
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.319
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.519
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.240
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.040
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.879
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.120
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.839
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.240
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.519
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.319
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.040
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.720
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.839
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.600
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.839
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:53.040
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.360
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.160
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.120
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.639
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.240
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.959
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:27.120
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.800
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.399
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.240
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.079
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:49.279
00:06:49.439 --> 00:07:02.879
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.360
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:20.800
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:34.800
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.600
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:46.079
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.360
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.079
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.079
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.000
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.319
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:03.519
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.560
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.639
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.000
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.279
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.800
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:27.199
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.320
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:38.720
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.840
