And I remember, Jackson, 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: it was just it was a moment where you just 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: had to deal with it, otherwise the results wouldn't have 66 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: came out that it would allow me to talk today. 67 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: How did you because that was just an incident, but 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: you're dealing with it twenty four hours a day. 69 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: How I think the hard part, and this took a 70 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: few years for me, was I was focused on what 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: I lost. Late the summer before the accident, I ran 72 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: the peach tree. I ran the peach tree with my wife, right, 73 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: you know. I used to bike around Thrown Mountain all 74 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: the time with my son. So I think the first 75 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: three years of this I focused on that, and then 76 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: what happened. I started I met a minister and she 77 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: told me, hey, why don't you start focusing on the 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: things you can do? And then and suggested I get therapy, 79 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: on which I did. I got to say, if you're chronic, 80 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: paying patient and you don't have a good mental health 81 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: team that can help you focus on those things that 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: can keep your focus and moving forward, yeah, you're missing 83 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: a great piece of something that's going to make you 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: healthy long term. So after after I got the tools 85 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: in order to figure out how to focus on what 86 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: I could do, what I could do for myself, what 87 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: I could do for my family, what I could do 88 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: for my community.

I have always been 90 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: told I'm I create a problem solver. Problem became Hey, 91 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: how do I make How do I make money even 92 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: though I can't leave my house?

He's the reason 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: I wrote my book Race Matters and Pay Medicine, How 103 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: I made money, lost ninety pounds and driving from pain. 104 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: He was interesting because a lot of sickle cell patients 105 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: get stereotype as drug users when they come in and 106 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: try to seek drug medication because they know what they're 107 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: supposed to get and they know they know why they 108 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: should be getting it, and people will call them or 109 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: accuse them being drug users, so that a lot of 110 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: it is due to the fact because they are people 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: of color, they are offering the minority community and people 112 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: are stereotyping them. So I would have to say that 113 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: you oftentimes was a victim of stereotyping. 114 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: Correct. 115 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, even despite the numbers that most of the 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: people who are dying from this do not look like us. 117 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: Wow. Now it was something you put out there that 118 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: I wanted to bring back because in twenty twenty, doing 119 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: COVID therapy became a rise in the black community, you know, 120 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: became a normal part of the conversation, the mental health conversation. 121 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 2: A lot of famous people started confessing their issues, a 122 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: lot of athletes started confessing their issues or with mental health, 123 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: and they COVID really sent people over the edge. A 124 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: lot of relationships were lost during the COVID period due 125 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: to mental strain. Now you said the word therapy. Now 126 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: with that a word, did you could share publicly with 127 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: your friends, with your people that you cared about as 128 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: strangers without being looked upon as a person with a problem. 129 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 3: You know what my favorite chapter in this book is 130 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: real Black men don't do therapy. And what's funny about 131 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: that is that I've ownly well met Atlanta. We're a 132 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: group of African American child and adolescent psychiatrists that work 133 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: in the Greater Atlanta area.

And it wasn't until what happened. 137 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: I was taking my daughter to the hair store. Sally's right, yeah, 138 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: closed the door in my face. I started yelling at him. 139 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: He called me an old man. This old man can 140 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: kick it butt, and my daughter was afraid of me. 141 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: And he little Jackson, that was you talk about the 142 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: old man could kick your butt. 143 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: That was you. 144 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: And I was in a scooter saying this. 145 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 5: I can imagine that I was in a. 146 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: Scooter telling some twenty year old pump okay that could 147 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 3: beat him down. And I had my nine year old 148 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: daughter there right right, and she looked at me like 149 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: I was crazy. And I came home. I told my wife, Hey, 150 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: you know what you're right, Adam minimal all the work 151 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: that I put into at that time.

So she helped me. If I'm 155 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,239 Speaker 3: a therapist that focused in chronic pain, and the psychiatrist 156 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 3: that did as well, and the psychiatrist wasn't saving grace 157 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: because what she was able to do was lay out 158 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: all my meds. At this time, the pain doctor was 159 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: giving me meds, the PCP was giving me meds, the 160 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: neurologist was getting I was getting meds from everybody, but 161 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: there was no one serving as as a quarterback, you know, 162 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: to basically say, hey, these meds should go here, these 163 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: meds shouldn't be here. Whatever psychiatrists did all that, she 164 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 3: was like, okay, this is what's making you crazy, it's 165 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: making you gang weight. Yeah.
