In this compelling episode, I sit down with a U.S. Army Ranger veteran and ER doctor Matt Tipton who shares his extraordinary journey from rural East Tennessee to the U.S Army and emergency medicine. Matt opens up about raising three children post-divorce, the complexities of male mental health, and navigating the realities of school shootings in today’s America. Our conversation delves into the pressing issues he encounters in the ER, including the leading causes for children’s visits, and his insights on the alarming rise in America’s maternal mortality rate. A thoughtful discussion on service, survival, and the health of a nation in crisis.
