Troubles & Transitions

Join me in a chat with Justin, a young gay man, in his 20s. Justin highlights some problematic areas in our healthcare system here, in Hawai’i, as he tells stories of his first encounters in the medical world upon moving to O'ahu. I have done my best to omit any identifying factors of where these experiences took place, but they will be brought to the attention of leadership, so we can continue to provide better care for our community. We may touch on sensitive subject matter, as well as some triggering topics. Discretion is advised. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please call 1-877-565-8860 or visit. 988lifeline.org for more resources. As always, nothing said here is medical advice, but lived experience by individuals within a community. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transhealth/message

I do hope you enjoy anyway and, as always, Im SO glad you’re here! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transhealth/message

Join me as we take a dive into straight FACTS, with Dr Sorrentino. She is the cake to my frosting of humor and wild antics; my soul sister. I’ve never had a conversation with someone on the exact same page as I. I have so much left out audio, there’s a second episode for a rainy day! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transhealth/message
