• 0:00
  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to a very cool and awesome day of Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 0:07
  Do you want to know why? I can tell you why. Because today is May 19th.
• 0:13
  What does that mean? It's a Monday and Dr. E is back.
• 0:17
  And we haven't even told him what the episode is going to be about.
• 0:20
  And neither are you going to know until we come back from this introduction.
• 0:23
  Because Have Faith, Let It Begin. Dr. E is back. Starts right now.
• 0:30
  It's Monday, and you know what that means. Welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin.
• 0:37
  Podcast of inspiration. It's a podcast of hope.
• 0:42
  It's a podcast of faith, and it's a podcast of friendship.
• 0:47
  Here is your host, Angel Santana, and special co-host, Dr. E.
• 0:53
  We're a three podcast time. That's it, man. Let's rock and roll in three, two, one.
• 0:59
  Hello, everyone, and welcome to the fun times with Mr.
• 1:03
  Dr. E on Monday. Have faith, let it begin. Dr. E, we had an amazing,
• 1:08
  amazing week. Can you do me a favor?
• 1:10
  I know these people don't, I don't think they realize what type of things that
• 1:16
  we do together on a side note, in addition to you being on our Monday podcast,
• 1:20
  how much you put into your podcast.
• 1:23
  And I think it's really cool that it would be an opportunity to say,
• 1:27
  hey, we got two monstrous shows coming up with Talaya.
• 1:30
  And also we just did an amazing interview with a Marine vet.
• 1:35
  Talk to us, man. Share with everybody what's coming up. Oh my God.
• 1:38
  There's such great stuff going on in the croc world, the podcast world for our
• 1:43
  cancer survivor thrivers.
• 1:45
  Talaya, who is one of our favorite people ever, is a cancer doula.
• 1:49
  And if you don't know what that is, you have to listen to the episode,
• 1:52
  who lives in Minnesota, who we befriended, who's a pioneer in helping cancer
• 1:58
  survivor thrivers get through their survivorship.
• 2:01
  And she's a survivor herself. So a lot of great things on that podcast.
• 2:05
  She's a delightful woman, very intelligent, very elegant, very dignified,
• 2:10
  and extraordinarily smart and helpful.
• 2:13
  I urge you to listen to that podcast. And then this past week,
• 2:17
  we interviewed my damn friend and coworker, David Garcia.
• 2:21
  Radiation therapist at Garnet Medical Center, who had to walk in the shoes of
• 2:27
  the people he treats and deal with survivorship from his own personal end.
• 2:31
  And he's also a Marine veteran, so a great homage to our people,
• 2:38
  to our friends, to our American comrades who have served in the military.
• 2:45
  So I think that we've had two very exciting weeks in the croc world.
• 2:50
  But I'm here to talk about Half Faith Let It Begin.
• 2:53
  What do you want to talk about there, brother? You know, I wanted to talk to
• 2:57
  you, and it's a great segue.
• 2:58
  And the reason why we promoted your podcast is because, you know,
• 3:03
  at one point or another, your podcast and my podcast together somehow integrate.
• 3:08
  And I was thinking about an episode, and it's so interesting because I thought
• 3:12
  about this way before we did the interview with a gentleman that's going to be on on June 1st.
• 3:16
  And it got me thinking, how often in the work environment that we do or in anything
• 3:22
  that we do, do things that happen at work?
• 3:26
  Come home with us? And when they do, how can we separate work from family?
• 3:34
  How is it that people have that difficulty of not letting that negativity when it is negative?
• 3:43
  How do you stop it from infiltrating the home?
• 3:46
  And that's really what today's episode is about. So I want to see it from your
• 3:50
  perspective as a doctor, and then I'm going to relate it toward an everyday
• 3:55
  911 type of switchboard scenario.
• 3:58
  Okay. Yeah, absolutely. Well, you know, I always think, maybe I don't say it
• 4:05
  enough, but when we go to work in a healthcare environment,
• 4:10
  whether it's you work in the emergency room, whether you work in the cancer
• 4:14
  center, whether you work in the operating
• 4:16
  room, or whether you work on the switchboard, the minute we clock in,
• 4:21
  you know, it's a very, very stressful and emotionally draining, you know, shift.
• 4:30
  And whether your shift is four hours for part-timers, eight hours,
• 4:36
  12 hours, in my case, it's 14, 16 hours a day.
• 4:39
  It is absolutely like, you know, basically punching a clock and then going into
• 4:46
  a foxhole and there's bullets flying And there's, you know,
• 4:51
  bombs exploding and there are people that are just in the worst moment of their
• 4:57
  life and you're expected to carry them on your back.
• 5:00
  And then you're expected to clock out, get in your car and go home and pretend
• 5:07
  like nothing ever happened.
• 5:09
  I don't know if that's possible, Angel. And it was really important for me to
• 5:14
  point out that you don't have to be a doctor or you don't have to be a nurse
• 5:19
  to experience the stress of working in healthcare because we're not cooking
• 5:24
  steaks or burgers or hot dogs. We're not making pizzas.
• 5:29
  We're not cutting lawns. We're not even taking money at a register for some
• 5:36
  transaction. You know, we're dealing with lives and souls and I'm not sure if
• 5:42
  it's possible to turn it off.
• 5:44
  We have to, to some extent, otherwise none of us would have partners or spouses.
• 5:50
  None of us would have children that would be speaking to us.
• 5:52
  None of us would have friends because we would be too shell-shocked to even have relationships.
• 5:59
  So I think that there has to be a balance that every person has to try to enact.
• 6:05
  And I guess the question that begs to be answered is I can tell you how I do it, but Angel,
• 6:11
  I want to hear how you do it, how you able to come home and care for your two
• 6:15
  young children and be the great husband that you are to Rachel and the great
• 6:20
  son you are to Angel and Lucy.
• 6:23
  Like, how do you do it? You know, it's because there's the story I'm sure you're
• 6:27
  going to tell us about, you know, the 911 call. It is.
• 6:31
  It's difficult because, well, first thing foremost, I do believe you have to love what you do.
• 6:37
  And now, mind you, there's a lot of us that'll sit there and go,
• 6:39
  well, I'm out, right? Some people just don't like their job.
• 6:42
  Let's be real. I would be lying to our audience if that weren't true.
• 6:46
  For me, I love what I do. However, there are times dealing with people that
• 6:53
  will test you, will tell you where you can take your advice or where you can
• 6:57
  take your extension and where you can shove it.
• 6:59
  To be very blunt and it will get the best of you and it will try to steal and
• 7:06
  sneak up your and take your joy so how do i do it i have learned this is why
• 7:11
  i brought it up i have learned that.
• 7:14
  For those of you that have that spiritual background, it is best to take a few
• 7:18
  seconds, whether it's in peace, in quiet, as you're walking into those doors,
• 7:24
  say a quick prayer, say your Lord's Prayer, say anything that you can that would
• 7:29
  make you feel good. It could be a lyrics to a verse of a song.
• 7:32
  Walk in with a smile on your face and try to walk back to your vehicle the same
• 7:37
  way you walked in, even if it's bad.
• 7:40
  But let's be honest, Dr. E. Open lines of communication got us the relationships that we got.
• 7:47
  Being honest and allowing yourself the opportunity to say, hey, hon, I had a bad day.
• 7:51
  Hey, husband, I had a bad day. Hey, wife, I had a bad day.
• 7:55
  And see where that leads you. Sometimes you'll open up. Sometimes you don't.
• 7:59
  On a segue to that, me trying to help my parents out who are reaching the age,
• 8:06
  which is what I like to talk about the next episode we're on the air.
• 8:08
  How do we get to the point where we start to take care of those that have taken
• 8:12
  care of us, meaning our parents, our grandparents, and how is it that you try
• 8:17
  to put yourself in that position and say, wow, I'm there now.
• 8:20
  It's my time to take care of them. So really it's just open lines of communication,
• 8:24
  allowing yourself to let God take over and not allow the negativity to get the
• 8:30
  best of you and to leave it at the door, but still announce to your better half
• 8:36
  that you had a crappy day.
• 8:39
  God bless. I think that's well said. And thank you for giving us that honest
• 8:44
  advice. Will you lead us in prayer, my friend? Absolutely.
• 8:47
  Heavenly Father, we thank you for another great episode. We thank you for having Dr. Eon.
• 8:51
  He is a very busy guy and he takes the time because he enjoys our show.
• 8:56
  He takes the time because he enjoys his patience.
• 8:59
  And I take the time because of the same reasons, because God provided me a best friend.
• 9:04
  God provided me an audience. God provided me a gift. God provided all of us a talent.
• 9:10
  And God has provided us ears that are giving us the opportunity to listen to today's message.
• 9:15
  So if you're struggling, if you're a person that is dealing with mental health,
• 9:19
  if you're a person that needs a prayer, this is what I'd like to do.
• 9:23
  Moving forward, 845-391-2312. That is our new cell phone.
• 9:31
  You can reach out to me, text me, and I will send you back a prayer.
• 9:36
  That is my prayer for you this morning. I want to thank you and always remember
• 9:40
  that God loves you, that God believes in you, and that God is never going to leave your side.
• 9:44
  From all of us here, never forget.
• 9:47
  Faith, let it begin, baby. Have it going, guys.
