00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: was just just you know, because we know you work out,

35
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,640

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: you start to say? You know something I gotta start

38
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: showcasing this. I know it started with the song loss,

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: which was dedicated to your wife, But how did that

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: come about? You know? I think the musical side of

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: me just woke back up. I had it. I always

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: had it as a kid, you know, I was. I

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: remember taking piano lessons as a child, and when I

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: got in seventh grade, I remember over hearing my wife,

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: my mom, talking to the leader of a church choir,

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: and she was saying, his instructor said that he'll be

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: ready to take over a church in about two years

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: if if he keep on learning and playing like he did,

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: and sir, I quit after that. I said, I'm not

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna be playing piano in church. Yea. They take up

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: too much of my time. So so you're trying to say,

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: you're trying to say the church kill your your musical dream.

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Don't say that. Don't say that. Don't say that. Hey,

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: I already was on the usher board, you know, and

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: the junior choir, and I was, I was already in

56
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: church two days a week, and I said, man, they're

57
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna have me in church three, four or five days

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: a week, you know, in practicing with three different choirs,

59
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, how it is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. You know,

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because you know, as I always tell

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: people that that, you know, between the ages of eighteen

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: and twenty four, you know, we are kind of like, um,

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: we're kind of like, uh, you know, ambitious, you know,

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: we're we we we see so many opportunities and nobody

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: can tell us anything. We'll we'll chase those dreams. And

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: I always tell people what you do between eighteen and

67
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: twenty four, when you get your forties, fifteen and sixties,

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: that's what you start really making your money off of.

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: You know, those dreams, those desires, those early passions. You know.

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: So when I when I when I read about this

71
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: and I saw it, heard the song, and now this

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: concert and we're going, I'm talking to doctor Scott Walter,

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Scott Mike Metcalf, he's one of the stars from Bravos

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: TV's married to medicine, and we're talking about this singing

75
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: career right now. And we're going to talk about this

76
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: medical career and this entrepreneurship because that's important because part

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: of your brand, it's part of your development. But when

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: you see people break out of these sides that you

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: don't see, it's important to know that that sometimes you

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: have to follow your dreams. That's why always tell people,

81
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: don't let nobody tell you what you can't do, you know,

82
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: because people will tell you that. So when you start

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: pursuing this aspect, the naysayers came out, correct, doctor metcalm

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: oh for sure, for sure they says came out family, friends,

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, and definitely social media. You know, the naysayers

86
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: always waiting for you. They don't even have to come out.

87
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: They sitting there waiting to click dislike. So that's how

88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: that's how that goes with them. So how do you

89
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: overcome that? How do you because that's what this show

90
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: is about because of the fact that, you know, really

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: social media. A lot of people do understand this about

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: social media. You know, a like dislike, a dislike can

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: be a form of bullying, especially when you tie negative

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: comment to it, and then it's tied to people you

95
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: don't even know. You know, that's the that's the wild

96
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: part about social media. You know, you can get emotional

97
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: highs from the likes, but then the negative comments and

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the dislikes or the ugly emojis can also be emotionally

99
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: they're down for you. How do you in a person

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: who is a professional. You're a professional. You you with

101
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: the school you've earned, a professional were respected, respected degree.

102
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: How do you deal with the fact that sometimes people

103
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: kind of like disrespect you and actually sometimes don't even

104
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: believe you're a real doctor, you know. I guess thick

105
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: skin and intelligence hopefully keeps me away from all the negativity,

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, because one, you're not gonna scoop down. You're

107
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: not the level that other people are. So stofe gives

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: me a disrespectful comment, It's just easy to block, delete

109
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: and move on with my life. And you know, say

110
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: they never existed basically, So, so I think this is

111
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: a level of having thick skin. You know, I'm the

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: youngest of tenids and sticks and stones, you know, and

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I you know, the battles that I've

114
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: been through my life, negative words could never hurt me

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: nothing from social media. And my wife already told me

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: when we first got on the show. Don't you know

117
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: she knew more about reality than me. I knew absolutely

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: nothing about it, didn't care about you know, and actually

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, refused to participate, you know, the first year

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: that they offered and so um so she basically told me, like,

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: you just gotta not read the comments, you know, yeah

122
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Like I said that, that's the bully area.

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: That's the area where they they attack you on your

124
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: on your on your video of chill on your video

125
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: when the comments there can like be depressing and demoralizing

126
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: because all you're doing is living your dream and you're

127
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: sharing it. And that's what you were doing when you

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: posted your video about your song, your your lyrics and

129
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: all that. It was just sharing your gift that God

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: gave you. That's gonna be real about this. It's a gift.

131
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: I can't sing, doctor Scott. I can't sing, so so

132
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: you you ain't ever gonna get nothing negative from me.

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: But there are people out there just like me who

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: can't sing, but making comments though, oh yeah, oh yeah,

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah. And when you're dealing with that

136
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: and you got the opportunity now on March twenty fair,

137

00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: doctor Walter Scott, and they're gonna be a little bit surprised. Yeah,

170
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Walter. Doctor Walter Scott Metcalf from Bravos

171
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: TV's Marriage to Medicine. He'd be introduced by Doctor Contessa,

172
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: his wife as doctor Scott because he will be performing.

173
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Just in case you just tuned in, he will be

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: before mean it March March twenty fifth at the Music

175
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: Festival Orlando Movie Music Festival. So let's talk about you

176
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: know the song you dropped. I think the song or

177
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: dropped in September of last year, correct, yes, okay, cool. So,

178
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: so when it was put out there, what was the

179
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: purpose of you releasing the song to the general public?

180
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: The song is called Lost. I think the purpose of

181
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the song was really like redemption, you know, because it

182
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: with real reality TV. You know, they you if you

183
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: make the wrong slips, say the wrong thing, they're gonna

184
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: run with it. They're gonna run with it. You know,

185
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: I don't care like you know, you know, or someone

186
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: else says something about it, They're gonna run with it.

187
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: So Reality TV wanted to run with a narrative like

188
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, like me and my wife. You know, you know,

189
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: every marriage has problems, but they wanted to act like

190
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: we had more problems than we did. I wanted to

191
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: create more problems for us, and so you know, I

192
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: think when I wrote lost, I was just saying, Okay,

193
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: well let me um, you know, as opposed to getting

194
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: on TV arguing and talking and repeat, let me make

195
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: a song, and then if they choose to play it,

196
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: they'll play it. And fortunately, you know, Andy Cohen, they

197
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: chose them. They chose and played from the season finale.

198
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: So I guess they understood what I wrote, and I

199
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: guess it was good enough because they chose it from

200
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: the season finale, right wow. As opposed as opposed to

201
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: women screaming, yelling, and hollering at each other. You know,

202
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: they did that first, and then the absolutely well, you know,

203
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about it was that when I when

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: I look at my life, you know, I always look

205
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: at the things that people have told me what I

206
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: should do. You know, I just worked for IBM, and

207
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: when I told people I wanted to pursue a career

208
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: as a Steve a comedian, they looked at me like why.

209
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: They looked at me like who who? You can't make

210
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: no money, you can't do that. And when I hear people,

211
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: they're not. So when I hear the word haters, people,

212
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: haters is not a term that's just been around recently.

213
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: People are always been discouragers or people are always told

214
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: you what you can't do because people have put you

215
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: in a box. Now people call them naysayers. If Bible

216
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: call him Nay says, Nay says, they're saying right, right,

217
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: and and and and that's the part of this whole conversation,

218
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: because it's a it's a two part conversation. I'm having

219
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: with you today. Because of the fact that you know,

220
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: as an artist and I'm calling your artists, because of

221
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: the fact that you're going on stage. People have told you,

222
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: based on your celebrity status, based on your your your

223
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: your talent. It's saying that they're gonna put you on

224

00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: all these people are just you know, they got they

228
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: got an audience. And guess what, you're going to have

229
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: a fan base coming to see you too, Doctor Scott,

230
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel about all this? You know what,

00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited that this part of my life.

232
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, I love and enjoy being

233
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: a doctor, and um, but I'm just happy that my

234
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: love for music woke back up inning you know. And

235
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: how would you say walk back? How did they wake

236
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: back up at your house? Well, I had, um, I

237
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: had my nephew, Javier, and doing piano lessons for my kids.

238
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Okay here at my home, and um they be in there.

239
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: And then you know, we did them on Sunday. So

240
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: after after they finished the lessons, we go in there

241
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: and you know, get on the piano and we start

242
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: singing old church songs because my kids have never heard

243
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: the old good Baptist church song absolutely and and so

244
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: we get in there, we start singing some old Johns

245
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: acting silly and then um, another friend sent me a

246
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: beat and it just captivated me. And when Javier was

247
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: leaving out, I had my phone. I had recorded the

248
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: beat on my phone and I did a little voice

249
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: memo and I said, Javier, I like this and can

250
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: you can you like go home and singing hook to me?

251
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Can you just go like lost lost, so lost without you?

252
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: And you know? And I said, can you do that

253
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: hook for me? And then he came back to the

254
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: neighbor the amazing hook, and I said, oh, okay, well

255
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: let me let me, let me get on the hook

256

Speaker 1: friend and we were up in the network studios, all

259
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: based on just a beat. And then you had the

260
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: talent to come in and create the hook, because you

261
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,199

Speaker 1: him doctor Scott, the one and only Doctor Walter Scott

310
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: metcal as we move in your life. Being a person

311
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: who the youngest of ten kids, can I ask you know,

312
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: you know what type of careers are lifestyle that your

313
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: other siblings have. Did they motivate you to pursue a

314
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: career an educational career, sir? You know, being the youngest,

315
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: they motivated me. I had a very supportive family. They

316
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: motivated me and supported me and everything that I've done.

317
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the only one that chose medicine, but

318
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: you know we have I haven't an educator and counselor

319
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: both for phdsh I have a flight sister that was

320
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: a flight attendant, to have a brother that's an engineer. Uh,

321
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: two brothers that retired from the factory. You know, we

322
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: were in Flint, Michigan, so that was that was you know,

323
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: they were in the factories. McDonald dared one sister that

324
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: retired from the factory, one sister that got an advanced

325
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: degree as well and went into business and worked for Jim. So,

326
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much, my mother's stressed the education. She's

327
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, and uh she's she's definitely stressed excellent in us.

328
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: And she was in that era where you know, she

329
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: moved that moved up here from the South. You know,

330
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: she was a valedictorian of her class and so she

331
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: wasn't on me, and so she made sure her kids

332
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: wasn't no dummies. And and she hurt her she she said,

333
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: because of having ten kids that that kind of killed

334
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: her dreams and of going to law school. And so

335
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: she never she never finished her undergraduate degree herself. But

336
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: you know, was super successful as a mom and just

337
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: just overall great, beautiful woman. Well you know that like

338
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: my mom, Like I come a big family too, you know,

339
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: six sisters and two brothers. So I came, I came,

340
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: and my mom was just like your mom. You know,

341
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: she graded away from my high school very smart, but

342
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: high school, you know, high school was the highest level

343
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: of education that she achieved. But you know I myself,

344
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: I just knew I just wanted to be pursue a

345
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: life that was different from where I was living because

346
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: I lived in the neighborhood um you know, well, you know,

347
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: my parents was in the hood Fifth Ward and used

348
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: to Texas, and then we moved to the northeast side

349
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: of Houston, Texas. Basically, I just moved from black people

350
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: who were struggling to black people who weren't struggling as much. Okay, So,

351
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: and I knew I didn't like either lifestyle, and so

352
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: I was motivated to see what was out there because

353
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: basically my whole life doctor Metcalf, all I saw was

354
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: black people my whole life, and so I didn't even

355
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: know from a standpoint of what that white world looked

356
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: like until I went to college, and that opened my eyes.

357
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: When you start making that transition, tell us your background

358
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: and then also transitioning from that high school world into college. Okay, Well, mom,

359
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: after my father passed when I was five, my mother,

360
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: it was six kids left at home, and so my

361
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: mother actually decided to leave the city of Flint and

362
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: we moved. We moved to a place where her and

363
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: my dad used to vacation, which used to be called

364
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: the even of the North if you ever heard of Idawa, Michigan.

365
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: So we moved and grew up in Ottawa, Iawall, Michigan

366
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: bad with Michigan and uh so that was a pretty

367
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: diverse community. But it was probably second to been Harvard

368
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: and Forest community in Mission uh and uh. But but

369
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, but nonetheless, like I said, great mom, she

370
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: always worked, she always provided, which was awesome. And so

371
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: I was. I had a really diverse education and diverse

372
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: friend group growing up. And so when I went to

373
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: Michigan State, there was still a culture shock of coming

374
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: into a classroom of three hundred people, but but none

375
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: of us. But but there was there was you know,

376
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: the diversity was was not anything that I had to

377
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: get you know, adjusted to, you know, if I right.

378
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: So so basically you're saying, like, okay, Rashan, I was,

379
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: I had that diverse education. If I stayed in Flint

380
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: has been a different story. But when she moved me

381
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: and allowed me to adjust, and I would understand another

382
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: side of life and how to communicate with another side

383
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: of life. So Winter Michigan State, other than massive campus

384
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: of over thirty five thousand students, you know, that's my adjustment, correct, right, correct,

385
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: you know and coming and you know, like I grew

386
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: up in the like the small town. It was not

387
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: even the McDonald's there, not even a traffic light. So good. Yeah,

388
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: big adjustment, big adjustment in that man. So how white medicine? Though?

389
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: But why medicine? You know, I was I would like

390
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: to share personal stories where I talk to people because

391
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: I know I can't cut on nobody. I know, I

392
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: can't tell nobody that they're sick. I know that, But

393
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: why medicine, sir? I think the power of positive reinforcement.

394
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: My mother has been calling me. My mother and siblings

395
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: have been calling me doctor since I was probably since

396
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: I was walking. Wow, I've been saying I was going

397
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: to be a doctor myself since I was five years old.

398
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: And I remember in seventh grade I said, I really,

399
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: I really made the decisions that I'm really going to

400
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: be a doctor, you know, and I'm really gonna try

401
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: to get all eggs. I made that decision myself in

402
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: seventh grade, and like I said, my mother, and I'm

403
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: sure my mother, you know, she she said, I know

404
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: what you're capable of. You know, you really don't need

405
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: to bring me nothing home more than they. You don't

406
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: need to bring nothing less home, you know. She she

407
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: just basically said that to me. And uh, I think

408
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: how passing with my father dying, you know, of a

409
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: preventable illness was definitely one of the deciding factors in

410
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: my mind. He died of a metastatic colon campcon to

411
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: the brain, and uh, just like just like a lot

412
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: of black man, you know, he knew he was sick.

413
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: He waited till after Christmas to go in, you know,

414
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: and that was our last Christmas with so uh yeah,

415
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: and that was you know, five years old, almost six

416
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: when he passed away, you know. So all that had

417
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: all that, I'm sure just in that upbringing, you know,

418
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: and then I had believe it not. I even had

419
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: a black doctor growing up in that in that small town,

420
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: and he was a World War two veteran with my

421
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: father and my father was a medic in World War two. Wow,

422
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: So that was that was that was kind of andage there.

423
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this because you know,

424
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: you said that about black men, and we hear that

425
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: a lot in the black community. You know, before we

426
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: hear two things in the black community, you know, not

427
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: enough quality healthcare. But then we hear the story by

428
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: black men who are don't want to acknowledge they need

429
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: to go to doctors or don't want to go to doctors.

430
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: What what's creates that doctor medcalf in our male community. Well,

431
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I think one lack lack of knowledge, you know, of

432
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: of of medicine. That's that's that's definitely one, you know,

433
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: and we know the main thing would be our our

434
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: healthcare disparities and a lot of those are created by

435
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, lack of access, you know, lack of having

436
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: representation of having an African American physician. Um, you know, um,

437
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: we as African Americans make up what almost what twelve

438
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: percent of the population, but yet less than four percent

439
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: of us are doctors. So that's that's definitely showing that

440
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: we don't have the representation that's needed. And you know,

441
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: ultimately with black man we know, h it stems from

442
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: the mistrust of the medical system in general, and we

443
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: can't hire the fact that the interesting there should be mistrust,

444
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, but a lot along with that mistrust is

445
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation. So you know, I tell people

446
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: like we know about the Tuskegee Experiment, we know the

447
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: trocities that they committed against our black men and black

448
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: women and black babies. Because if black men are affected,

449
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: the wives are affected. So it's not like the men

450
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: would just walk around with syphilist you know, the women

451
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: were catching it too. The babies were catching it and

452
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: having complications of you know, pregnancy and and and giving

453
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: birth to baby with cyphilis. So all those health care

454
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: disparities kind of kind of mound up, and that adds

455
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: up the apprehension of a black man, you know, seeking

456
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: you know, to get medical attention. Cool that mistrust. Can

457
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't trust somebody, you're not gonna

458
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: you're not gonna show up. That's absolutely true, because you know,

459
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: we walk in there afraid anyway. I know, I've never

460
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: walked into doctor's offers confident because I don't know, because

461
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what they might find out about me.

462
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't know for a high blood pressure, I don't know,

463
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: cholesterol level, I don't know. You know, I've been I

464
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, I've had a numal thraxx in my life,

465
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: which means that my long collapse while I was just

466
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: watching TV. I've been diagnosed with cancer throd cancer. So

467
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, once you're diagnosed, as they might say that

468
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: you in remission, but it means that it can't come back.

469
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: I've been I've had my gall bladder removed, and so

470
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: these are things you know, that have happened to me

471
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: just in my daily life, my daily my daily process.

472
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: And you know, the cancer was discovered basically through going

473
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: in there doing exams. If I didn't have these exams,

474
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Lord knows, I may not be talking to you right

475
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: now because I didn't. Nobody wouldn't have had that preventive

476
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: medicine treatment because I wanted to talk about that as

477
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: we close out your interview about what as black people,

478
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: black men, black families can do in the value of

479
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: preventative medicine. Um be advocates for one another, you know,

480
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: every everyone in the family should be advocates for one another,

481
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: because like to say, for instance, my father died of

482
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: colon cancer, so I made sure that all my brothers

483
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: had their colon cancer screening, not at fifty you know,

484
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: nine at forty five, but I made sure, I say,

485
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: we had a higher risk. You know, our dad died

486
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: of it, uncle died of it. So we getting our

487
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: we all getting our colon ospies. By the age of forty.

488
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: All my brother's done it. Two of us had two

489
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: of us had polyps. You know that. You know, they

490
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: say a polyp If it's one of the specific polyps,

491
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: that's the type of polop that can take about eight

492
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: years to turn into cancer. So you know, So having

493
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: those colon oscaries at age forty, getting those polops removed,

494
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: having to follow up colon ospy five years later, being clear,

495
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: that's what you do. You know, that's what you do.

496
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: You prevent that that that polyp from from growing over

497
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: a period of eight you know, up to eight years

498
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: and turning into cancer. So advocates for one another, educating
