Dear i m gnm student
Promo`SM
This episode is so needed as motivation but also as clarity building for me. I've always been the kind of person who never really learned how to stop and smell the roses. Once I have achieved one thing, I'm racing towards the next. And listening to this really enforced to me the importance of just stopping, reflecting on what I'm truly going for and learning to love myself as I am right now . While I would love to have CRNA after my name one day, I also want to just be happy with who I am before that comes. Thank you so much for sharing this. You have no idea how much your videos have impacted my mind, my life, and ultimately my future.
Wow thank you so much. On the days I feel like: What am I doing with this business lol this is so amazing to hear. I'm here to watch you and support you shine! Stay true to what feels good to you and it will never steer you wrong!
You’re a special gem. Thank you

I'm so sorry to hear all of what you are going through but you are definitely in good hands! The VAD teams I have worked with in the past are incredible along with the heart transplant teams. You stay safe and I'm sending you healing prayers. Thanks so much for your comment.

Trying to bring attention to a VERY important issue. %99 of female nurses on here ignore it or delete my comment. But I'll keep trying. It's the REAL reason why men push off or COMPLETELY avoid necessary medical treatment treatment and will DIE earlier, sometimes MUCH earlier in life. We are losing our dads, sons, brothers, favorite uncles, our best friends son, nephews, etc etc etc. And for whatever reason female nurses and female medical personnel want NO PART of addressing it or better yet solving it. The REAL reason men avoid or push off necessary medical treatment is because MANY MANY MANY men have gone through HORRIFIC things by female nurses and female medical personnel at hospitals and rather go through their sexual degrading experience again they will just avoid it all together. %99 of guys wont share their experiences, not even with their wives or girlfriends,its viewed as weak and being sissies if men come foward, so Like I said they just keep it to themselves n essentially DIE earlier in like to relive another humiliating experience. I'm talking about what some female nurses do to unconscious male patients under anesthesia. The stories are INSANE. Most guys have female friends that are nurses and spill the beans on what female nurses will do to unconscious men at hospitals. Most guys wont remember much post surgery under anesthesia, some do though afterwards, so most guys wont fully know how they were sexually assaulted and sexually degraded by female nurses until they hear stories from female nurse friends, or for some guys who never had surgery but hear these INSANE stories want no part of it and will avoid going in at all costs. I'm NOT talking about NECESSARY medical exams, procedures, surgeries were sometimes it is NECESSARY for someone of either sex to be exposed to a medical professional of the opposite sex. I wont even get into some of the CRAZY things men experience during some exams or back in their hospital rooms in their ward whatever. I'm sticking my focus on this post to the SEXUAL ASSAULT men face sometimes post surgery after anesthesia. Like I said most guys have female friends that admitt what goes on in there while they are unconscious after surgery and some guys do remember things too actually. It usually takes place in the Recovery rooms with the Pacu nurses. Female nurses have been known to gather in groups or take turns going in there while the Male patient is under anesthesia and unconscious and lift up his gown, exposing him completely naked to laugh, gawk, sexual degrade, or mock the naked unconscious Male patient. Its beyond sick n disturbing. What we've been told by female nurses who reveal these secrets is that of a guy is cute or a female member of the surgical team already saw him naked during surgery and if the guy is cute, has a big anatomy, or a small anatomy wors will get out to the female nurses and they will quick go lift his gown or sneak a look while he is still under anesthesia post surgery. I ask any female nurse reading this.... PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES!!! Imagine finding out that while you were unconscious post surgery about 12 good looking male hospital employees came in and lifted up your gown and were laughing and mocking you as you lay there completely naked unconscious. You would be MORTIFIED! So why is this SICK sexual assault tradition encouraged to be done to male patients??? And for those calling guys stupid for avoiding medical treatment.... well I'm sure women would too if they knew that while they were unconscious a bunch of good looking Male hospital employees would be coming and lifting your gown up and mocking you while you were unconscious. And for the female nurses who dont partake in this sick n demented ritual BUT dont report the ones that do this, they are just as complicit for turning a blind eye, they are ENABLING these sexual predator nurse that do this. Because I GUARANTEE you these same female nurses that ignore it and dont report it would ABSOLUTELY report it if it was male hospital employees doing it to unconscious female patients! GUARANTEE it! Most guys, I'm talking %99 wont share their experiences like this or admitt their embarrassment when they experience something horrific like this. They will just be mocked further by women for admitting embarrassment or like I said most wont even know exactly what happened because they were unconscious when female nurses sexually humiliated them. But no guy wants to go through that, so they just let their condition get worse and DIE earlier in life than they should. So to any female nurse reading this, I say this..... ya ya ya ya its SOOOOO hilarious to go up to SOMEONE ELSES son, husband, father, nephew and mock, sexually demean, sexually assault them while they are unconscious, to mock a guy with a small anatomy or judge a guys body while he is unconscious, BUT remember YOUR son, father, brother WILL experience this same treatment when it's his turn at a hospital AND YOU KNOW IT, so when he does and he finds out what exactly goes on or went on and avoids medical treatment because of it in the future and YOUR SON dies at 39 yrs old or YOUR FATHER dies at 62 because of it.... and you're at their funeral crying, just remember how fucking FUNNY it was when you were sexually degrading SOMEONE ELSES son or father. TRUST ME you will never hear stories from them about their embarrassing hospital experiences, your father isnt gonna tell you about how he found out he was mocked naked by female nurses. Your son when he is 25 yrs old and finds out from gossiping nurses months later how some of the female nurses went to to him while he was under anesthesia and lifted up his gown and talked to other girls about his genitals, he isn't gonna go n tell him mommy about it, he will just avoid hospitals in the future and DIE. That's what's crazy about female nurses who do this to guys under anesthesia, is A LOOOOT of them have sons, and they KNOW they will experience this humiliation at some point in their lives, but it's worth it to them to create this environment as female nurses that's it's funny and acceptable to sexually assault and sexually humiliate innocent Male patients FULL KNOWING that environment they created will someday make their OWN FUCKING SON endure that!?!? Thatd crazy. Not accusing anyone or every nurse of doing this. Just bringing it to attention on RUclips videos of female nurses, hoping that some female nurses will take it to heart. I've been VERY unsuccessful so far, female nurses want NO PART in talking about this. But I'll keep trying anyhow
More coming right up!
