So this information and the videos that I put out for people like myself brothers and sisters and those who are Sincerely wanting to know truth and wanting to know how to come out of cultic churches. So Please do that Actually, yeah or 40 videos now Related to this topic of abuse Founding thank you for your comments and the support of those of you who have been Praying and asking for God to blow the cover off of this Quote-unquote ministry and off of this quote-unquote church Because a lot of the stuff that has been going on has been going up as far too long And have shit and should have been Should have been exposed Years ago, but of course, you know God does things in his timing and he does things for his purpose and for Reason and so when the time for things of this nature Come to the past and you expect that those of us who are Taking on that call and that assignment to be faithful and to be OB to do what God has called us to do loving him and loving others and loving our neighbor as I self so With that being that that being said also you'd like to support Ministry you can do so two ways if you'd like For the mention through Me on through Facebook or if you'd like to do that through email preferably you try to do it through Through the inbox to Facebook, but I know a lot of you did not have Facebook. And so you may Communicate through email. So two options regarding that you can do it through Facebook under my name Or email me at seco woods s And now I'll enter it here There so that's my email address for those who like to purchase That nature you will send you a catalog a picture catalog of the merchandise there And then my first COVID-19 pandemic is it's slowing some things up. So please allow two three more business days if you will before your product Is it's shifting your arrives to your to your address so you can you can support the mention you through cash out paypal The book chapter verse merchandise as well. Also, let me say this too because I do want to make sure that those of you who are looking for churches looking for For Looking for churches and looking for places to to worship Coming out of in church Let me let me help you with a couple of ways of doing that. You can go and google expository churches City and state and and and you should be a fine local churches in your area That teach the word of God verse by verse But make sure you specify The type of church expository. That means they explained the description.  I wish you wise this is Uh Not showing up on the chat. I think this is having some some malfunction with the uh with the chat information there But we'll hopefully get that Situated hopefully string our will but I'll enter this information as well Uh, see that would go in there put that up All right, so www.9mark.org is another way of finding sound biblical local churches In your area Once you do that go on the link go to the website. You should have church search in the in the Browser on the screen you should click that and then find your trying your state Area that you are that you desire and you should better find, you know church that teachers and preachers the word of God Is well so that being said I wanted to make sure that I put the information out I'll probably try to announce it later on Well, um, so I'm looking at my phone as well as my screen for some reason Receive the message from uh from stream yard saying that the uh facebook comments won't be in the chat So hopefully It will be a they're they're they're working. They said they're working on it. So Well, we'll see how that goes. All right.  Craig Lewis Um, this is part four. This is part four Of I have questions Uh, and of course, you know g. Craig is not going to respond because he believes he is not he does not need to respond To anyone because he's not accountable Uh to anyone, uh, although he claims he has people who hold him accountable and people in this church that You know or mcconable anyone who has been a member of that place know good and well that George answers to no one but himself He doesn't even answer to God, but one day he will One day he will so I'm going to make sure that My guys grace I stay faithful and I stay committed and sounding the alarm and warning the church and coming alongside brothers and sisters who are In need of uh of help because again, you know The problem comes When you have this type of abuse this type of treatment of God's people And it goes unchecked It goes unchecked it goes uh unheated And uh people believe and think that they can just do whatever they want to do And and and if you're doing it for so long This is what happens.  They don't care about In fact Being abused being mistreated Because you know when it's not your toothache, you know, it's it's I have uh I have a very long email to me Okay And uh with that I'm going to just one you right now uh The receipts continue to come um God is continuing to expose the behaviors and the activities of this this so-called man So much so that a lot of people that I have been Corresponding with I have yet to meet I don't know these people Never even heard of me But because of the video because of the content because of the information That has gone forth It has caused people to spark a sense of boldness a sense of Awareness to To speak out and so I want to continue to create this opportunity in this platform for those of you Who Who have been affected by this man who have been hurt who have been Mis-treated Do not allow the enemy Do not allow peer pressure Do not allow anything or anyone to hinder you or stop you From Doing what god is calling you to do that is that word say he is not giving us the spirit of fear But a power loving of us And with that being said that means that when we are bold for christ Our fear of man vanishes When we when we're willing to stand on god's word, we're willing to do What is not always popular What is not always convenient for the sake of others Then we're able to see god move in such a way where people's lives are are changed They're delivered. They're set free That they're they're now given a sense of hope Um and sometimes it only takes one person to do so Other people once they see others coming forward, then he gives them the the ability and the bonus and the curse Guys of christianity because to be a true christian you don't take advantage of the sheep You care for the sheep you love the sheep you protect the sheep And far too many so-called pastors are not doing that They're derelict in their assignment. They're derelict in their duties And we wonder why the world looks at the church as a joke We wonder why the world looks at the church as a laughing stock because They're not doing what god is Understood of us to do and that is to feed protect leading god's life And g correct little says one of those people he does not love god And since he does not love god He cannot love others That's pretty that's a pretty bold If you love me you will keep my commandments if you love me And one of the ways we know that we love god the bible says about keeping his commandments and john says his commandments are not burdensome One of the ways you know that a person or your past and loved god is how he cares for the flock Just read the epistles of jar Read first jar read how love is to be manifested read read the proofs of love toward one another And didn't ask yourself the question is a person like g craig or a person who loved god Therefore and thereby by his love for god. He loves others and you would have to say Undoubtedly without any reservation to question No, he does not I mean the money's in the emails and the video interviews and so forth prove all that And all you have to do is look at the evidence so I received an email earlier this week um regarding g craig Lewis and uh I want to read it in its entirety And I may make some commentary along the way statement and how and how I progress through it, but It's a rather long email, but it's full of truth Very detailed information And I want you to to take a listen to it Listen to it Ponder what's being said and then ask yourself some questions as as as we go on with this. All right This individual writes this quote. I'm quoting now. Hi seco I can't even believe I'm writing this I have watched the interviews and posts you put up and I've always thought these people are probably better I try so hard to ignore and make excuses for what I was hearing, but I just can't anymore I'm going to try to make this as brief as one can make an over 10 year following that is now crashing down I'll try to compartmentalize everything as best I can I won't give certain dates on some things because we're currently still members and our planning our exit The fact that I even wrote that makes my skin crawl. So let me start from the beginning I grew up in the church my husband did We not only became saved after watching g correct videos. We also got married not long after We although I had more schooling and a better background struggle financially for many years now To the people that say quote. Well, why would you do that and quote? You need to under you need to remember that this man has spoken so much quote unquote truth that it made sense to us And although he's tried at times to say sometimes the woman needs to work He also says a man that allows his wife to work doesn't trust God So we continue to support Lewis and eventually we left everything we knew and moved to texas to attend his church Before I get into our experience at abc. Let me tell you how his teaching affected our lives now mind you These are things I didn't notice until much later If I was steadfast in the thought That my husband didn't agree with he was shut the convo down by saying things like quote unquote. Okay, jenzi And let me just start right there I've heard that being said by a lot of men by a lot of men Who were members of abc when when they and their wives would would uh go would have issues Unless it my mic is going in and out I'm using the microphone to complete my phone. Let me just change it right now Let me change it now I'm not sure why I'm doing that, but let's see if this situation Let me know if that's okay Let me let me just start from the beginning. Let me start from the beginning again. All right Um, and those who are just joining in, um, I'm looking at two two screens here my on my phone because the uh, the chat has been disabled not from on my end, but because of uh Streamyard they they sent a message showing that they've been having difficulties Uh, connecting the facebook live to the uh to the chat room. So hopefully, um, I've got grace if that might resolve and um, we'll be able to uh have a more interactive discussion So let me start from the beginning of these of this email again Person right says I I said go. I can't even believe I'm writing this I have watched the interviews and posts you have put up and I always thought these people are I try so hard to ignore and make excuses for what I was hearing, but I just can't ignore that just can't Uh ignore anymore That is now crashing down I'll try to compartmentalize everything as best I can I won't give certain dates on something because we are currently still members in our planning our exit The fact that I even wrote that makes my skin crawl. So let me start from the beginning I grew up in the church. My husband didn't We not only became saved after watching g cregg's video. We also got married not long after We purchased every dvd and hung on his every work Although I had more schooling and a better background I stayed home with the kids We struggled financially for many years Now to the people that say well, why would you do that? You need to remember that this man has spoken so much quote unquote truth That it made sense to us and although he's tried at times to say sometimes the woman needs to work He always says a man that allows his wife to work doesn't trust God So we continue to support lewis and eventually we left everything we knew and moved to texas to attend his church Before I get into our experience at abc, let me tell you how his teachings affected our lives now mind you These are things I didn't notice until much later If I was steadfast in the thought that my husband didn't agree with he would shut the combo down by saying things like quote unquote okay, jessie Point where I would not even say anything because I wouldn't want to be called that And I mentioned earlier that we had the introduction of the sound. Uh, this is not the first time I've heard this Uh, unfortunately I've had other brothers who were former members of abc Who had the same response their same retort toward their wife's uh concern or questions They would just automatically go into default mode and call them jessie This mechanism and the women would just shut down and just say for good Because every time I'm going to say something I'm only going to be accused of being a jessie because I'm asking a sincere honest question Or because I disagree with your premise or what you're doing and so It will cause frustration in the marriages. It will cause frustration in the home Um, and I I've heard these stories.  In fact, let me just let me just pause in this email Let me just read to you a text of scripture Because unfortunately a lot of you people who follow d craig lewis defend this foolishness and defend this demonic mess and you start to justify The things that he does because you're blind And you are more willing to follow man than to follow christ So in first peter chapter three verse seven the bible says you husbands likewise live with your wives in an understanding way As with the weaker vessel since she is a woman and grant her honor not Not Hopefully she's dumb and ignorant and not too intelligent so you can take advantage of her and misuse her and treat in mystery her And grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life so that your prayers may not be Care about bible since g craig does not care about the word of god So g craig does not care about the authority of scripture Then this is what you see you see a little man Trying to act like a big man to a woman And that's weakness Let me continue on reading here Person says the year we got to abc Everything seemed okay at first I have to say some of the people there were some there are sincere and welcome Some of them only appear that way my husband was so excited because he was looking for Sorry telling me that he felt like something was off like there was something behind the smiles At the time I kept telling him I felt like people were watching us I also found it weird that they asked for all of our social media accounts Craig would say quote some of you won't make it here in It seems to me because it's the church you shouldn't want people to make it We just ignored these things and hung in there There's a lot of Church function my heart would erase in the parking lot because I would be so nervous that someone would find something wrong with me We become preoccupied with making sure we fit into his mode fast forward to be coming across your videos I watched him And showed him to my husband. We both really struggled because we knew this stuff was true We just didn't want to believe it because we were made to feel like leaving abc Was the equivalent to leaving the faith We had moved our family here invested time and money We realized that we were being manipulated the fact that he wanted us and social media fast as this stuff was coming out The fact that he mentioned your email and kept talking about an attack coming were red flags. Do you hear that? Remember that social media fast that he had people on remember that Well, this is what happened because when I started putting out these videos He called for a social media fast To try to get people off grid to get people offline so that they will not see the comments see the videos to try to do damage control And levina says this i'm going to read some of these statements as I can post it on the screen here I'm going to just read this levina marian said this that's true I remember filling out the membership form, but I did not put my social media accounts of Here's some red flags we ignored. It's extremely clickish there You can clearly make out the inner circle Craig would say not to talk to people that leave because the enemy would use them to sow dissension But we will stand at the pulpit But he's giving he will stand at the pulpit and say quote god told me some of you in here Why god wouldn't just tell him who it was so he could get them out instead of him creating And the same stuff rich young ruler love of the world is enmity with god Head of every man is christ women are made for their husband and halloween is bad and that's really it There are bible characters that in the 10 plus years he never he's never mentioned He he says find yourself in the bible, but only women he will speak about are jezzabel Deborah and the woman in provost 31 He never would speak about ester Ruth any other Of the women god decided to add to his word because it didn't fit craigs anti female agenda I also noticed that the father's day messages were always about the importance of dads the mother's day message was usually about how wanting Anything out of your home is wrong and not being in jezzabel If you go back and listen, there's a clear difference in the way he delivers those messages I never walked away with a deeper understanding. He would rant Talk about the quote-unquote message joke rant then pray We were told that if one of our sisters called and asked a question about an upcoming event Maybe they missed the announcement. We weren't allowed to tell them because Maybe there's a reason they didn't get the text message You can't meet and have a bible study Even though so many of the women can't really pay attention because we have our 12 kids with us during service and are in and out And p 31 doesn't teach the word and those who may be Unfamiliar with p 31 means this is provost 31. That's their women's group that don't really teach the bible at all teaches you how to knit and sew and things like that Um All the spirits are growth that occur is because of the of the seas my mom and dad planted in me I've asked members questions about the word or what they've learned as it pertains to the lord. They can't tell you They can't tell you life stories about craig another is that he's always saying to leave if that if Excuse me. Another is that he's always saying to leave and that he doesn't care for the 99 for the one How are you a shepherd for god's sheep and you're staying office? Isn't one of the requirements for being a pastor to be hospitable He would be in service and yell things like slut whore prostitute With the sanctuary full of children of all ages my child actually actually asked me what a slut is He has said men with lists are gay Even though there are people in there who have a straight male loved one with lists He would always crack jokes at overweight people Even though he was When he has overweight people in his flock He made a joke about not wanting his waitress to be funky and he said quote I didn't order the fish and I recall that I remember that so-called quote-unquote Podcast because he was trying to make a double entendre About a woman being on their cycle smelling like fish when he didn't order any seafood How crude and how crass is that but anyway? His overall demeanor is not Christlike at all But if you challenge this it's because you don't like male authority Well, I don't have any daddy issues and I have questions You can't go to leadership about a problem because they won't get involved Sebeza won't get involved. You can't talk to any of the members. So you have to fend for yourself This isn't what a church does. We shouldn't have to outsource health I used to like his no-nonsense embrace of where you're getting the truth out But as I got deeper into the word, I realized he doesn't have a heart for God's people or being a shepherd The people in his inner circle don't have this issue because he's accessible and nice to them Hypocrisy This is one of the main reasons we are leading my husband and I both can't stand hypocrites or double standards Versus what he's actually done He says ABC members should mind their own business But encourage his son to snoop and spy on their fellow brothers and sisters in christ He said he can't stand pass through that favorite members because they have money Because they and those people have control He said God isn't a respected person And neither a seed but brice butler who was a football player for Dallas Cowboys. We didn't know that But brice butler has preferred parking and seating By the way, ladies and gentlemen that goes totally against james shot with three Totally against it. Let me just read it excuse me james try the two First one You mean it's really for those who don't Uh, believe that the bible speaks to this type of stuff Jan each other to my brother do not hold the faith of our glorious lord Jesus christ An attitude of personal favoritism for one man For if a man comes into your assembly with gold or the gold ring and dressed in five clothes And there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes and you paste Pitch into the one who was wearing the five clothes and say you sit here in a good place Poor man you stand over there or sit down by my foot stew. Have you not made distinctions among yourselves? And here it is the qualifier with evil motifs That's james try the two versus one through four those against the word of god He does not submit to the word of god therefore a person like Bryce Butler gets preferred seating Gets brought into the quote-unquote church through a different door and all the other people come in through the other door Totally against what the bible teaches You can change on it. I'm quoted There are people that live off one income and are struggling but still give but you choose to honor the god who has loads of money to give Reminds me of the old woman in the bible who gave her last He says he can tell what kind of parent you are by how your kids act, but doesn't apply to his His daughter said on her youtube channel, which is her name is uh vicki lovin.  He said Women shouldn't try to be doctors and rack up student debt Loan debt, but his doctors Is a woman He said he won't use the platform god gave him to defend himself against your accusations But he has always used that platform to talk about himself and others He has used that platform to talk about members of Christ's body that are sitting in his audience I remember him talking about how much of a mac he used to be and how he could easily get love from women Now knowing that he cheated on his wife.  He's been accused of hurting He says seeing all these men losing their job because of the COVID-19 makes me cry But then he asks people to get in their cars and drive the church to barely hear him He also sends a follow-up message saying if you couldn't give money at the service, here's our cash app My husband said on top of taking offering on sunday He takes offering and the men's meeting Maybe you think that's okay. If you didn't grow up in church, but the people that are struggling because of your doctrine While you were sitting on millions to get twice Y'all still hear me? I'm hoping y'all still hear me. Are we still good? Are we good? Can y'all hear? All right Can y'all hear me in there? Person ends and says this To the people still at ABC Listen, I know most of you are super confused I know some of you feel you can't leave because you've been there so long and it would cost you so much But be honest with yourselves. You know, all these people aren't lying You know craig wasn't honest about why the DVD was canceled If god knew he wasn't ready. He wouldn't have been giving it to him in the first place He stood there one week and said that he's never watched or looked at anything about himself online But then said his obsession with looking at things online is why he canceled it Let's say you want to ignore the cheating stuff. Okay How about the fact that he has put people out of god's house for non-sin issues? How come every time a woman's on sabbatical she has to leave even if she's the victim but the men can say They just have to sit God is behind the DVDs. Why does he take them down when he falls out with people? You guys know the truth No one's saying he's never said anything true or open our eyes to things But he also said you can't separate the man from what he does Do you remember him saying that I do He loves to say a little 11 11 at the lump. So keep that same engine You know that you're afraid to be friends with people that left now if they denounce christ, I get it But if they are still heirs to god's kingdom and still christians, then why are you unfriending them? Because we have an us against them mentality. We think the only Truth is at abc. We feel people that leave are leaving christianity We feel protective of our leader more than our god Some of these people are struggling with their faith because we stop talking to them Have no family here These are people's souls and salvation that we're talking about We're going to be like and salt and cutting people that have nothing That have done nothing rather to us because we're scared of what men will think is not christ life At first I didn't like sicko's approach, but guys we used to do the same thing Craig would post a pic of kirk franklin with pink lips and people would mock him mercilessly in the comments Kirk has a wife He has kids and friends. It was okay He was being exposed though, right? All I can say is if craig denied excuse me, all I can say is that if craig did indeed sleep with women In that church after speaking about soul ties in his DVDs and can still stand in front of god and preach Then he's truly devilish You guys don't think he's picked anything. It's all the studying and research I love you and i'm praying for all of you He likes to say that in the last days many will be deceived and he makes us feel like he's It's talking about leaving abc, but god wasn't talking or thinking rather about him when that was written Signing an abusive church and still believe and serve jesus. It will be okay Maybe god brought you down here so you could see it for yourself because most of us wouldn't have believed it otherwise Thank you for your time and i'm praying for you the sister says now Let me just go to the Yep, sounds like a call to me um Riley you said exactly Okay, you said it's not cussing it out but sometimes I mean I get I don't know what's going on. I get my mic is good I'm not really sure what's what's happening Never sure what's going on y'all. Um But hopefully everybody can hear hopefully everybody here um So I responded to the sister and I said this in our in our interaction Oh, sister. Wow. I am totally and absolutely speechless your testimony and experience at abc In support of the x-men entries are like so many others who contacted me and decided to finally come out of the closet Of fear and intimidation and speak up against the spiritual atrocities of g Craig Lewis Thank you for coming forward and speaking out So I would like to ask you a few questions regarding your email that would help me I am pursuit of exposing g Craig and holding him accountable And so I asked her a few questions um Asked how long were she and her husband members of abc? Asked was craig's statement of encouraging other members to snoop on other abc members one of his ranks Or was it stating in one of his accord recordings? Actually, you know Which show on vicki's youtube channel she made that statement regarding gender roles And then actually, you know where I can find craig mocking overweight people or people who talk on the list as being gay Are those statements recorded or on another or another one of his ranks? Also, actually, can you provide more specifics of craig's statements about me in the email? I circulated about his adulteries and hanging sentence Leave craig calling abc members too fast on social media was due to my videos exposing him If so, do you have any evidence that would help support this? And then lastly, I asked her you know how many members have left abc as a result of my videos exposing uh, g craig And so the sister responded back in our in our conversation um She got never to show what it is, bro. Uh, the rest of the mic sounds nice. Check one Pat you said yeah, it was cleaning it out, but her what you were saying um Because I said I I was using my blue mic Um, my blue ball mic. I unplugged that one and now I'm using the uh, I'm using my an appeal mic that's hooked up to my uh, computer So The sister responded back to me after me thanking her for her uh, her email and taking the time to to share Um the information she said no brother. Thank you I didn't get what you were doing at first, but now that I think about it There are probably videos and things you've seen that the rest of us haven't See those things and knowing this man is the head of so many souls would make me angry too And so she said I'll I'll answer your questions as well as I can And so I asked her the first question I asked her was how long it hurt or her her other members of abc So she'd tell me how many years they've been uh members of abc And really I'm not going to disclose that information because I'm not going to give Those like g Craig Lewis. I know I know you're watching this this live right now I know you are because you're probably preparing to do your um So you need to have some information to try to do damage control as you've been doing for the past Seven months now to try to keep yourself from you know being exposed, but you already know people see the past what you want So I'm not going to give you that information for how long they have been members there Doesn't matter not going to give that but that also asked her Was Craig statements of encouraging other members to snoop on of the abc members one of his rants What was the state name one of his recordings her answer was Uh, he once said that there are people whose gift It is to be nosy And they come and tell him And recording because they weren't there yet and when we heard it my husband said at a heroes meeting Here it is My husband said at a heroes meeting when your videos started coming out Craig said he was going to find out who was giving you info and that he would publicly say their name in front of everyone Jay brian chimes in and says he's going to find you too Now let me just say this Before I read the rest of this Jay brian if you're watching this and I know you are too Let me let me let me Let me tell you something how you how you sound Yeah, brian, you know This is this is what this is what you sound like. So let me repeat this again And I'm gonna tell you exactly how you sound when you say this and that he will I said a heroes meeting when your video started coming out. Craig said he was going to find he was going to find out Who was giving you info?   Oh look I'm looking behind you. Yeah, he's gonna find he's gonna find Jay brian, what in the broke back mountain? Uh men on film In living color It's raining men.  It's not being a man.  What is that? Well, he hasn't found You know why jay brian? You know why george because there's so many people that end that place that wants you gone You'll never find it. You never know. It's like you want to know who these people are See things on one of two people that are giving me information who I don't even know. I don't even know these people But the funny thing about it is gotta gotta use these people to take you down because that's how wicked you are That may take a long time to do that. It may not but who cares. I'm gonna join the riot Because I know what I'm doing is being is being empowered by the spirit of God What you're doing is being powered and being strengthened and being Empowered by the devil, you know the prince of the power of the air Who now work within the sound of disobedience as Ephesians 2 describes people like you george So who do you think is going to win this? Who do you think is going to come out on top and standing for truth and standing for righteousness? um Let me give you let me give you a wild guess. It's not you But the fact that people like jay bryan can say that You know probably lips all twisted.  Um Asked the other question. I said, uh, do you know which show on vicki's youtube channel? She made that statement regarding gender And she they made that statement in their last anniversary video I believe it is on their life with the logan channel They do a video answering questions every year of marriage and it was their latest one Um, I asked if you know where I can find george You create mocking overweight people or people who talk with elicit that as being gay I'm just saying it's recorded or another one of his rants And so she responded and said unfortunately most of those were doing rants And you know what? I know that to be true because a lot of people Prior to them, uh Prior to us those of us in the public would get the recordings He would have these rants He he would have those those rants and uh You and I wouldn't hear about you and I wouldn't see it because He edits his own stuff So she says unfortunately most of those were during rants once he said a man with the list Can't talk can't even talk to him He went on and on mocking it and I saw a man get his whole family and walk out of the sanctuary He was saying once that he'll never change his mind about something He said it over and over then he made his voice as if he was hearing He was a hearing impaired person doing sign language So not only this man mocked people or listen and say that they're gay You're mocking the those who are hearing impaired This man is evil. This man is wicked And so it's two people come to mind that I know that uh, they have lists when they talk One is tdj's the other is tony evans now um Is he saying that both of these men are our homosexuality that both of these men are gay? Are you saying that or are these people are the ones you're referring to, uh, Joe?   A man who defends who blindly defends another man and can't think for himself Or man that basically uh, who has a speech impediment Sovereignly given it by god by the way But He preaches and teaches the word god or he he's not Giving any inclination of them being homosexual. Which one you think Is is more gay Probably say it's stronger rather than a liar, but that's just me Can you provide more specifics of great of a craig statements about me and the email that I circulated about? Is adultery is a hanging sin she was smiling said he said there was a man that had been harassing him for a while And would always threaten them He said the man threatened to release info about him and he said He told the man do it I'll play like a commercial I'll play like a commercial then that'll be it He told us a story about you being mad because he didn't want you to come eat with him in fray first june One time the men were champion heroes and he threw his head back and said yes Let me hear that cult chant He also said something once then mumble under his breath make sure you tell them I said that when you leave and give your testimony Mocking those that have come forward He said all the churches in the world, but they don't want you to come here He said he's done so much and given us so much truth, but we can so easily be swayed by rumors that we are weak I Actually, do you believe that Craig calling ABC members the fast and social media was due to hit to my videos exposing him And uh, so do you have any evidence to support this? He said well she says He told the men during heroes to keep their wives off social media He preached a sermon titled what god hates. I remember that because I played that back on one of the lives here He preached a sermon titled what god hates She says this it was all about you Come on me. It was all about me. It was a response to me It was discouraging People to even listen and making them feel like sharing with others even their spouse What they saw was an abomination to god. He really Empathize that it was going to come from women And then I asked I said do you know how many members have left ABC as a result of my video was exposed G Craig Her response was I don't know how many members but I know at one point he had to move people up to moot to make the front look fuller He even had to wait and was asking the ushers if more people could come up to the front He kept telling us that a lot of people were out sick He would say that multiple times each week trying to explain the empty seats Oh my goodness And she lastly says this she said brother Let me tell you how much he's brainwashed us Please mention this in one of your videos so current members can hear When I saw your videos, she says The first thing I said was Why is it so many women? He's conditioned us to not believe She is excuse me. He's conditioned us not to believe it because it's women Even though he's told men to listen to to their wives because god made us more sensitive to certain things The reason is so many women Because he hates us he meaning george Don't disregard these testimonies just because it's women We can discern things sometimes that our husbands can't Just the fact that we have that kind of mind That kind of mindset shows that he controls how we see people That is her Her statement Brenda, you said this he said and yet his followers come and want folks to go easy on him. Exactly Brenda exactly Exactly and not me I told one of my brothers. I told Lawnale Matter of fact, I was talking to my man. I said if he if he don't want me to go He if he don't want me to be cruel he'd call Bobby Brown Because what I'm going to give him is what he's been giving other people.  I'm going to continue to expose as long as god gives me the strength and the ability to do that because this man is a This man is a stain To the gospel the very gospel that he claims he preaches g craig doesn't preach gospel He doesn't even know the gospel is and listen do you think you say death barrel resurrect number? It don't mean that you know the gospel It's the effects of the intellectual assent of it It is the internal the internal application of the god demons have an accurate view On who god is and what his gospel is then some who profess to know christ He's got demon faith because you know that god is one or you know that god is this or that That's demon faith What has the gospel done to your life and and have you understood the gospel? Because if christ being raised from the dead gives attestation and gives evidence that death and the sting of death Or the sting of sin which is death has no control or no power over him and now we live in christ's resurrection power and that the Power of sin has been broken in our life according to rome 6 That is going to be shown in how we respond in everyday issues and everyday life issues That's what the effect of the gospel mean It don't just mean that jesus got up on the third day with all power in his hand and you hoop it It means what is that resurrection power doing in your life in my life right now as we speak Is it is it teaching us to love our neighbor as ourselves? Is it teaching us to love our wife as christ's mother church is it teaching wives to Submit their husbands as unto the lord is it teaching children to obey their parents for this is right? Is it teaching employers not to threaten but to Do honestly and do justly with those that they have working under their authority under their authority Is it teaching employers to respect their employer? And to provide an honest days work for an honest days wage Does the gospel teach those who are in positions of leadership and political office and authority not to abuse it? But to live in such a way to be exemplary to live in such a way that we may live and lead Peaceful quiet and tranquil lives on this earth See everything i just gave you Are the effects of the gospel because if it doesn't change your soul and if it doesn't change your life You just have information you don't have realized application so This this is not This is not something That i'm playing games with as you own on for seven months and uh Should the lord tarry I'll do seven more months. I don't care because as long as you pray lewis Is a threat to divide christ you're going to continue seeing me I'm not going anywhere And so for those of you who I had also posted this link into my youtube channel. I hope you're watching I hope that I hope I answered your question I'm not stopping. I'm not giving up. I'm not letting up off on this wolf I'm going to pursue him. I'm going to go after him.

He used to be against it now. He's now he's teaching it Now he's teaching you Yes, he is I received this information uh from another one of my sources Uh You came earlier this week this uh information and intel came uh this morning Said good morning. Which of your videos talks about the woman and the massage incident I said, uh, I have questions part one. This is what I was trying to do.  The person said no. Another woman has come forth A sexual encounter concerning his massage table and I just wanted to confirm this I told you all I told you I just pulled the covers back When on this cloud Maybe it was the same person that I had spoken with and so I I said With with g Craig I said with g Craig And the individual responds and says yep That's a good line The person said the rabbit hole is deep I said, I wonder is it the same woman that I referred to in my video Are you sure that this information is is reliable? Are you sure that your sources and in your Contacts are reliable Incredible acts as individual and they respond and said very credible She hasn't spoken to you, but she has been watching She used to be a member and I know her personally Person said let me get back with you about the specific details And uh, and so I responded and said, you know It's unfortunate that a lot of these people who have had sex with g Craig Lewis are afraid to come out because of fear of retaliation Or fear of their life being threatened because I know that to be true These women that have have come out Or fighting and wanting to come forward at the last minute at the 11th hour have have Decided not to come out because of fear because Little little Georgie Um, I need you want me to repeat repeat what okay, let me I repeat what I said Uh, I guess I'll repeat what I think you want me to repeat Uh She hasn't spoken to you, but she has been watching she used to be a member and I know her I know her personally. I know her personally Let me see if I can try to Fix something here because I'm not sure what is going on Let me let me see if I do that's thing one two three. How about now? Can anybody hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Let's see what's brought. I need to I need to repeat Can you hear me give me a one? Give me a two if you can't one if you can give me a two I'll repeat the whole thing if I need to That way I can give you the context of it Just wait another response here. Let me see what I need to repeat Okay, yes, it was doing the breaking news. Okay the breaking news. All right. Okay. So everybody says one Let me just make sure I repeat it. So the person the person inboxes me and says this A good morning. Which of your videos talks about the woman in the massage incident And I respond and said I have questions for g Craig part one I asked the individual I think the individual is their first time watching it They said no another woman has come forth about a sexual encounter concerning his message Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry concerning his massage table and I just wanted to confirm it. I said with g Craig The individual said respondents and said yep Did you lie? And uh, the person says dog the rabbit hole is deep I said, I wonder if it's the same woman I refer to in my video And uh, the individual says no I said, you know, the sad thing about this situation is because There are a lot of women that I know that have had Sex with g Craig Lewis want to come out want to come forward and speak up But they are afraid to do so because they fear their lives will be in danger And they are fearing being retaliated against should they come forward and disclose their their identity and their and their name Uh, and this is one of the reasons why I don't disclose the people's names particularly women because of you know situation like that Some have Allowed me to to share their information, but I keep their names and their identities Uh So I asked them I said how credible is this information how reliable Is this source that you have as I said because I need to fact check I want to make sure that it's not just speculation or any TMZ Uh, you know foolishness And so the individual responds by the says very credible Very credible. She hasn't spoken to you, but she has been watching she used to be a member I know her About the specific details And um, and again, I just kept stressing the fact that man, this is this is this is crazy because I know that these people if they could It would come forward. Uh, this would really, you know Change the game if you will and expose g Craig even more so as the hypocrite and a lot He said, uh, yes, they are very afraid. Which is why I can't give her name Uh They said the crazy part is that there are many more women who we won't even know about because they're afraid of what might happen This person says this here it is I know people who have contacted lois and the owner Lois has confirmed the pictures to be true The Mona has denied everything And that's that that when I when I read that that was huge to me But it there's more because if you have done your research and have done, uh, have been following these these these developments You know that these women have have Have had such a relationship and have had sex with you curtain rules and try to deny but when the seas popped out and came out Now they have to kind of like Change the story per se There the evidence is there you do not deny you want when you have the evidence and receipts to learn to deny only a fool will deny facts so the individual said, uh Oh this individual I know where, uh, demona lived, uh, that she's no longer in california. I I I did a Very elusive In her in her, you know addresses and moving and changing around and I'm going to give you my my thoughts about that as to why um But the person said she's married the the last time they visited the church which was last year I think and that that that shocked me Because what I did was I also reached out to some people who were members of abc I asked for them to confirm what this individual said regarding Demona appearing again at abc in 2017 and 2018 This person says it may have been in 2018 when they visited I forget But either way she was married then and had gained a lot of weight He said demona visited their church with her new husband and it may have even been in 2017 Um, and so I asked her, you know with her gang because she was pregnant or anything like that The individual said well, she wasn't pregnant 100% sure she was contacted because I think was that you know, she's she's all great She she can't be she can't be found per se. She doesn't have any social media uh accounts up And then you connect the dots for you real quick That shouldn't be surprising that that's the case and here's the reason why This is the same man who told an entire church an entire congregation to shut their social media pages down and put it under the guise of a social media fast But when he did us immediately the so-called seren series on fasting he said that Fasting from social media ain't fasting Let me take a swig of my drink See the hypocrisy So if he can tell an entire church an entire congregation What a tire assembly because there's not really a difference if you can tell an entire assembly of people to shut their social media pages down and to go dark For 30 days He can definitely tell a woman who he's had sex with who he brought down from california Put her in her own apartment The apartment was looking so nice that even his family members and people who knew him who went to go see her Was wondering how did this person have an apartment like this and she has no job tommy Sucks her up in her own apartment gets to her car Has sex with her impregnates her gets her pregnant Aborts the baby gets rid of her then brings her back And you do all this in front of your own life But wait, there's more This person says i'm 100 sure she was contacted No one at abc was able to speak to her in private while she was there because pastor Made sure to it that she had a security escort the entire time she was there after several people that uh that attended abc during the time before they left and they they they all confirmed They all confirmed that she was cited and spotted at abc around 2017 2018 Couldn't speak to her Because she was flanked by security. Why was she flamed by security? Well This individual said that they spoke with a particular individual whose name and want to leave I'm going to leave anonymous for security and protection reasons I spoke with blank about how they used to have secret meetings and how she had access to his home This woman would walk into Georgia's and sabbatha's house Without even Being Allowed to come in she just came in this like like she's a family member this walk right on the maps She had accessibility to this man's house so much so So much so there were things going on Under sabbatha's nose that she didn't even realize or maybe she did who to say This man would be on face time With demona while his wife sabbatha would be there and Are you 100% bet your whole check on my mama's show? The person said all facts all facts She came and had secured and he had security escort her everywhere. Here's the reason Quote-unquote to ensure that she didn't have that she didn't have any conversations that would end her any one For example, he writes he made it seem as if the security around her was for our safety Possibly so a sea of discord so the conversations she had were high and by and how have you been An individual were you there when she came to visit? response Yep Person said did you know that the pastor tried to marry her off to uh delvin at our church? This was right before she left. I said yes, I did I said he was a boxer or athlete or something like that. Correct. He said her and delvin Had a fallout and she told him quote.  Let me let me say this and I'm pretty much done now This is just powerful. George. Let me ask you some questions Let me ask you some questions You you really don't respect Your wife and I know you don't because she doesn't respect you So basically y'all have a relationship of disrespect But does your disrespect have to be that blatant?  It is demonic.  They're not tired of me Me because after all that's tricking the switch So because I know I got you shook because you know a person like you You've been doing this for so long and uh, you've been doing it for so long you think you can get away with it Until now Until now You you've You've you've You've had sexual women Anyone that tries to hold your accountable you You get rid of you take advantage of people and God keeps bringing these people up See the bible says you're disqualified Just read description ladies and gentlemen Read first timidity chapter three versus one through seven read tightest one five through nine Read first pier five one through three Read descriptions Read first timidity five 19 through 21 and you'll see Why these so-called elders like Aaron a aron and Trent and cleveland and all these other people that he calls his elder board Don't hold him accountable because they can't because they're afraid of them because they yes, man They're not biblical godly leaders Therefore he's going to continue to do what he's doing because there's no one there that will hold him accountable Because if they did he would not be there today, but since the church started with him, he's going to end with them so my advice In my admonition to those of you who are still following this man even after all this evidence has been Supported in Man goes down. You're going to go down with him.   Oh, does it have to happen to some of you? Does it have to be your wife that's laid out?     No godly spirit field, man.  Why because I don't want to see my brothers and sisters hurt I don't want to see my brothers and sisters taking advantage of I don't want to see my brothers and sisters misused abused and mistreated see the bible says and Romans 13 I believe verse 10 that love does no harm to his neighbor Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. That means if I love you I'm going to go out of my way to make sure that what you need Whatever that is whatever that is. It's not it's not this cozy comfy Convenient way of trying to help people sometimes coming out Meaning that you're going to have to step out and call names and expose and give information And be willing to go to the mat for the sake of righteousness Listen, there are people right now that have come forward You're not by yourself And you'll never be by yourself But even if you were you're still not by yourself because god is with god is with those who stand for what it's rights Just ask elijah elijah by himself God had to give him Of course and remnantology and that's a word is made up remnantology God says boy, I got seven thousand other prophets who have not bothered a need to bail You're not the only one out here It may seem and it may be perceived and you may think that you are alone You and I when we are standing for god, we're not alone And this is why it is encouraging to help those who are on the wall This is why it's encouraging to stand with those who are standing for you And it is a special kind of person to do what i'm doing This is not for the weak. This is not for the timid. This is not for those who are passive But you know, you have a responsibility as a brother or sister in christ So no, you may not be out there on the front lines like i am And you do your part Can you supply refreshment and nourishment and support and covering and care And the spiritual realm can you do that? You may not be out there swinging the sword But you can be out there making sure that those who are swinging the sword have what they need Why because it could be you it could be your family It could be your loved one It could be someone that you care about that is being taken under by this type of teaching All i'm asking is for you to stop thinking about Thinking about myself. I would not be doing this for seven months going on Why it's not my family My wife and my children by god's grace understand what sound doctrine is They're not sitting under a car and by god's holy grace. They will never sit under a car They will never by god's holy grace be abused and mistreated by a pimp preacher never by god's grace Because they are sitting under someone who understands and knows what sound doctrine is but Since that's not the case I can't have this attitude And put up this posture that oh, well, I mean that that's that's the meaning of mine else problem. That's what rather I play It ain't my fault that that the abundant body they they went there They ain't my fault they're niche in them way.  Therefore you're not gonna say ouch If I were to bear one another's burdens in relation six two We're to come alongside we're to take some of the weight and some of the pressure That a lot of these people are feeling like the ryan and stefanese We we are to come alongside people who are still trying to reel and recover from abuse Why because it could be you it could be me and wouldn't you want someone to speak for you and you can't speak for yourself? Wouldn't you want someone to stand in the gap when you can't even Muster the strength to stand God has called us to do And it's not a negotiable. It's a non negotiable. God was not asking whether or not you would like to be obedient.  God tells us to encourage one another. God tells us to hold each other accountable That's what God tells us to do Because again, like I said before a family takes care of family This family the family of God you and I are under Biblical obligation To protect Ask yourself the question. What does God call me to do in his family? Because you may not be a first soldier. That's fine But be what God has called you to be and do your part In the body of christ didn't get saved to their soul get saved Save to serve others And if when everyone is doing the part it makes the body flow much more efficiently and much more smoother Because everyone is doing their part But when you have 80 percent of the people Not doing anything And 20 percent of the people doing everything you're going to have a lopsided body God has called you and I to serve.  How about we get involved? Because lives are at stake souls are at stake I praise God for those of you who have come forward and I pray the more do Because there's a work to do But a lot more can be done when everyone is doing their part That's all I'm saying A lot more can be done. I'm talking about intelligence.  Um email is up there Uh While he's intimidated by smart women. Yep, he definitely is You mean to say hood women too Yeah, yeah Oh, that's it. That's all I wanted to say Um again email is there for those of you who want to Who you know you are You know you are Now's the time to speak out Okay, now it's time to come forward now time to speak out emails there If you'd like to reach out to me and like to speak with me Send me your contact number. See your contact information. I would love to speak with you Help you navigate walk through This situation and walk through These things so that way you know that you have the support that you need But let's do our part. Let's all come together and take this wolf down And if there are many more like him as well But right now this is the one that God has called me to to deal with so I want to be faithful and can be a good doing that Again, um Like share subscribe to the uh to my youtube page again If you like more information about the book chapter birth to bcv gear and you see on top of the crown of my head Uh, you can inbox me under my name on facebook or you can reach out to me via the email address and request a catalog Of the immersion price and we'll send it out to you Have your order be processed and send that to you as well a lot more time and more days to uh to elapsed Once you place your order due to the uh the covid-19 virus Uh in our in our country and even in our nation in our world, rather So that way, uh, you're you're you're processing in the shipment time Aid uh because of the uh because of the virus, but it'll be it'll be sent uh as soon as possible once the order is placed But anyway, um appreciate your time Appreciate the prayers support the comments as well. Hopefully uh, we do when I do the next live Uh, the the facebook comments. I'll be able to post Love you all.


Through medical school and residency, I had the hardest time picking what kind of doctor I wanted to be. Now ultimately, last year, I graduated residency and took my first official job working as a full-time hospitalist working seven days on and seven days off. And after a few months on the job, I decided to pivot and transition to go back into training. And in just a few weeks, I'll be going back to become a cardiology fellow. So in today's episode, I'm going to talk about some of the biggest takeaways, both pros and cons of being a hospitalist now that I have a year under my belt. Some of the things that I absolutely loved and really going to miss, as well as some of the things that I can't wait to not do anymore. Now as a quick breakdown, during my second year of internal medicine residency, this is usually where trainees are making a decision on what kind of doctors they're going to be. I was torn between either being a hospitalist for the rest of my life or going into the field of cardiology. Now a few things that attracted me towards being a hospitalist was one, the tract of schedule. You work seven days on, seven days off and have a nice lifestyle in the weeks that you're not working and still get paid a really good salary for working only half the year. So during my third year of residency, I ultimately decided to go down the hospital route and apply to a bunch of jobs in the city that my wife and I ultimately wanted to be in. Thankfully, we got a great position at a great company. Now after a few months on the job as a hospitalist, some of the pros and cons that we'll talk about today, ultimately steered me to saying, you know what, it makes sense to going back to training to become a cardiologist. If you're interested in why I picked cardiology the first place, I talked about that in this episode right here, which I'll link down below in the description. So now that I'm only three weeks away from becoming a cardiology fellowship at the time of making this episode, I thought I'd break down the pros and cons in case you choose to make it a full-time career for yourself. Now let's start with the pros. Number one has to be the flexible schedule. Now when I first started at the company that I work for, you have a very traditional schedule of a hospitalist of working seven days on, seven days off. And usually your hours about seven in the morning to seven PM at night. Now for me personally, I joined an awesome group that had a really flexible schedule. So it's never really seven days of 12 hour shifts in a row. If you guys are interested, you can see my full day of life as a hospitalist right here or I'll link it down below in the description. But usually we would work anywhere from one to two long days where we truly would be in the hospital for those 12 hours. But the rest of the days usually would be staying and admitting until three PM. And if you were done with your work, which I usually was, I'd be able to go home and spend those hours from four to seven at home working and taking messages from the nurses. And so that meant that even during my week as a hospitalist, I'd still had a lot of flexibility in the later parts of my day. My wife and I wanted to go run a quick errand. I could do so with having my phone in my pocket, answering messages from nurses. And obviously there's tons of flexibility on the weeks I had off. I could work on personal projects, whether it was doing things for the empty journey, recording videos, podcast for you guys, or working on personal milestones, just training for my second marathon, which I ran in Dallas, Texas at the end of 2022. And got really nice PR. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I didn't have so much time to train and try to get a little bit faster in the past year alone. My wife and I have gone to India for about a week and a half. We went to Hawaii for a baby moon for about four to five days. We have gone to New York City or somewhere close to it three times now in the past year. And now in just a few weeks, we'll be going to Canada for our final vacation before starting fellowship and before the little one comes. So definitely tons of time to explore, to do absolutely nothing or doing things like training and working on personal projects. Probably the biggest perk of the job, absolutely. And for those of you guys who've been following my journey and the channel, you know that my schedule is no longer seven days on, seven days off. It's actually much nicer where I work four days on in the middle of the week. And then I have a three day weekend and I do this once more. And then every two weeks, I'll transition to where I only work three days on during the week. And then I'll have a four day weekend and I have that for two weeks and then I repeat the cycle all over again. Now, I definitely lucked into the schedule, but there's tons of pros of having a schedule like this instead of seven days off every other week. One, I have guaranteed weekend. So if there's birthday parties, somebody has an event, somebody has a wedding, I can go to usually knowing my weekends for free. Allows me to be able to do things that are important to me, like going to the temple or church for me on a weekly basis without having to miss every other week and just having some very consistent family time. And then finally for me, knowing that I'm going back to fellowship, where I'll be working on a weekly basis anyways, having a schedule where I'm working a few days, at least every single week, allow me to have a more predictable schedule and transition when it's time. Now, pro number two is flexing those medicine muscles. You spend so much time at medical school and training, actually learning about medicine. And some people will tend to go right into fellowship training to become that subspecialist they wanted to. For me, it doesn't make sense of spending three years and then never really practicing how to manage something like a pneumonia or asthma attack or CPD if you don't choose to be a pulmonologist. And so having a full year where I can really flex all that medicine muscle and knowledge that I've had built up over those past seven years of training has really been one of the best parts of my experience. Because I've seen so much and I've learned to manage and become comfortable with so many diseases, such as managing basic things like those pulmonary issues or managing heart disease. Like it will be so much more in the house of fellow as well as managing conditions like strokes or certain surgery patients where as a resident, it was normal to have a formal team that would take care of those patients. I would never see them, but now as an attending, those are my primary patients and I get to play a role in their care. And so I know even when I transitioned to becoming a cardiology fellow, all those experiences, the hundreds and hundreds of patients that I've seen over the past year, I feel comfortable managing a pneumonia as a fellow or managing renal failure as a fellow. And I don't feel like I need to always call a console just because I haven't seen that. I've taken care of all those things as a primary care provider for the past year. And number three has to be the patient relationships and the memories that I've been able to make.  You're managing so many different strings in regards to improving your patient's care. Different sub-specialties, console teams, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, and really just having to coordinate everything to be able to help that patient. And often you get to be the person every single day that just ties everything together, saying this is what this consultant said, this is what the nurses have been telling me, here's what physical therapy and social work is telling me, this is what it means for when you get to go home or what we're gonna do for you before it's time. And as a hospice, because you're that person who ties entire picture together, usually the patients and their family see you as the main doctor. I've been able to cherish amazing memories with patients sharing hugs and laughs and even at times some fears and concerns about their future conditions. And over time, I've been grateful enough to have patients and families who have just stepped out of their way to just say thank you.  Now, number four is the team that I worked with. Now, I have to say this, that the reason I'm going to cardiology has nothing to do with the company that I ended up working for. It would have been even easier to leave if I worked for any other company to become a cardiologist, but I had such a great experience that it was really a torn decision. I had a great boss who was super supportive, even when I told him that I was leaving to become a fellow, I had great colleagues that I worked with and really made me feel like it was a family every time I would come to work. And then all the other staff members that really just made the environment super warm and are able to help with everything behind the scenes so I could do my job as best as I could. Now, the unique thing for me is that I'll be doing fellowship at the same place that I'll be working. So thankfully I'll be interacting with a lot of those physicians, who will not be attending, so I'll be a fellow, hopefully they treat me nicely, but I'll be able to see a lot of those friendly faces that really were able to welcome me nicely into this hospital system and then ideally be able to help them as a cardiology fellow. And then finally, you can't go without talking about the salary. Now, as a hospital in Central Texas where our percentile is definitely lower than the rest of the national average, we're making about 250K, which after taxes and money going into 401Ks and insurance, et cetera, I was making anywhere from 11 to $14,000 a month, which gave my wife and I tons of room to save and save really rapidly for things that we really cared about, whether it's having an emergency fund, having money for this baby that's coming up and just being able to pay for all those expenses and things that we don't even know will be coming up, as well as save for some of those personal milestones, such as the down payment on a home, which we just closed on and that would have not been possible if we didn't have a great salary as well as a great savings rate. That part's important over this past year. So working really hard as a hospitalist over the past year as well as saving a ton of money, it definitely has allowed my wife and I to create a nice nest egg as well as a house to my wife, myself, and our future daughter can grow into. So those are some of the biggest benefits and the parts about a hospitalist that I love the most. If I missed any or if you have any questions if it's a problem, make sure you add it in the comment section down below. Now we have to transition to the cons. The number one probably for every hospitalist is the focus on disposition. Now, as the primary physician, as soon as the patient comes into your care, your main question is what do I need to do for this patient both medically as well as working on a social work side to get them to their next disposition? Is it home? Is it rehab? Is it a nursing home? Where is it and how do you work on getting those tied together? Now some patients are very simple. If you have a surgery patient that just had procedure done on their knee or hip, they may need physical therapy. A social worker can help you with their insurance and figure out the best places that they want to go and working with the families to organize that. That part's easy. My medical kind of expertise and how much time I spend doing medicine on that patient is very minimal. Their disposition easier. I just wait for the social worker to tell me when it's time for them to go. Other patients that are a lot more complicated or don't have the proper funding or insurance or maybe family support to get the care they need become very tricky. And often it may be where a patient is in the hospital for 10 or 12 days, but how much medicine I really spent on them is equivalent of maybe three or four. I've spent a week or more trying to figure out, okay, how are we going to get this patient out of the hospital into a place that is going to eventually get them home if home is not the next spot? And you can imagine if you're working week after week and patient after patient, if you're seeing that over and over again, it really starts to kind of get dreadful and a little bit mundane. And so this position is probably not any hospital's favorite thing, but it's probably the most primary thing that we do in addition to just improving the health and care of our patients. Now, number two, now this is something that I had to give a lot of thought to, but medicine happens without you often. Now, as a primary physician, you think that you wouldn't be making a lot of the calls, but especially if you're working at a big center like myself, if you're gonna call consultants or you're gonna call social workers, or you're gonna call physical therapists, the nice thing is that the system that I work at, a lot of things get done without my input. And so I may see a patient who a nutritionist or a nurse may call a nutritionist and then eventually they're on a diet that's making them stronger. Or they already have a primary cardiologist who's aware that they're in the hospital and they're just gonna consult themselves to be able to follow and take care of that patient. And so often I come in and there are so few patients every single week where I'm not really doing anything primary, even though I'm their primary physician, there are a lot of other ancillary teams that are managing and improving their care. And so sometimes it does feel like things are just happening without you, which is both a pro and a con. It's a little bit of a hit to your ego where you wish you could be doing more or at least wish that, why am I the primary physician if I'm not doing so much for this patient and somebody else should be. But at the same time, it's definitely a vote and confidence for the system of how lots of things can happen without my input where a patient can improve and be able to go home and I don't have to be involved in every single little step along the way. But the biggest takeaway here is a lot of times we get into medicine because we wanna make an impact. And if we don't see that every single patient that we work into especially if you have a day where you have a panel of 15 or 20 patients and you realize that a majority of them have things in consultants working on their behalf and you're not the primary driver of them improving or when they get to go home, sometimes it feels like, okay, this job is not as fulfilling. And then on the flip side, you will definitely have days and weeks where you'll be the primary decision maker on majority of your patients and definitely feel a sense of control and sometimes overwhelmed on how many decisions you have to make. But there are times where I have a list of patients saying, I'm not really sure what I'm doing for these subset of patients. I'm not sure if I'm really their primary physician. Again, more of a hit to the ego but it is something that I've found to be a con. Number three is a little bit of a flip side to the financial aspect that we talked about.  Now as a hospitalist, you are probably not going to be the primary focus of the hospital. That may change depending on where you're working but usually a lot of the consultants, a lot of the surgeons, people who bring the money in for the hospital are going to be where the money focuses. And so if you wanna pay your raise, it may not happen. If people need somebody to take on more work, it tends to be dumped onto the hospitalist. For example, if the surgeons want to spend more time doing the surgery, making more money for the hospitalist but not managing their patients post-off, those get handed off to the hospitalist. Now most hospitals are used to this, they're happy to take the work, happy to help but over time, this kind of dumping onto the hospitalist is very common. Now in the past six months, I've seen my company, the hospital I work with, basically have to make financial constraints. We used to have PAs and nurse practitioners work for us that immediately got laid off just because of financial issues. We had doctors who were at the risk of being let go. I've made an episode about how I was almost laid off and how that actually turned into a good thing. You guys can check that out in the description down below. But I was able to see how the constraints of the hospital system, how much money everyone else is making will ultimately trickle down to us at the very end. And that can lead to consequences on how many patients we see, how many colleagues get to keep their jobs. And it basically told me it was probably the right time to make that transition to going back to fellowship where I can have a little bit more secure job in the field of cardiology. The number four is the upward growth. Now for me personally, I don't like admin things. I don't want to be the person managing decisions on what's happening in terms of quality or what type of policies the hospital is doing or being able to manage schedules or issues and conflicts between physicians. I want to be able to take care of patients. And so if I'm not working as a hospitalist, really the only way I can make more money is either working more as a hospitalist, doing low-come jobs at another hospital or working an admin job. And neither of those are great options for me. But for me personally, being a medical director or managing an admin role is not very attractive to my personality. I'd rather just be interacting with patients, not so much that people take care of those patients. And so understanding that that upward growth was not possible as much as I wanted in the hospital was definitely a big con. The number five, now this one's a duh, but you're the primary doctor. So that means that if the family wants to talk to anyone, the nurses are gonna message you. And that means that even if you spoke to a family member early in the morning and somebody else wants to talk to you, you're gonna have to go back and kind of pause what you're doing at that moment and go talk to them and update them. I also made some speaking to patients multiple times. They have concerns of what you talked about in the morning and they wanna make an adjustment. You make an adjustment, it's not working, they're gonna wanna see you again. If you have patients who have big anxiety issues or patients that are definitely controlling, you're gonna be interacting with them multiple times. And each of these interactions can be anywhere from five to 20 minutes. And again, if you have a panel of 15 to 20 minutes, that could be very costly to your efficiency. And again, being able to manage other people. And then finally, you deal with the things that every patients have, but some patients may be having more of. So things like pain or issues that you medically can't explain. As a hospitalist, you're not interested in managing pain. You're interested in managing a diagnosis, a condition where you can actually make an improvement. If somebody's been dealing with chronic pain all the time, it's not always likely that you're going to be able to make a regimen that's suddenly gonna make that patient feel no pain at all. And dealing with those patients are a little bit of a, okay, fine. So you're more in the way that it's gonna happen and as a primary doctor, you're gonna have to deal with it, but again, not your favorite part of the job. Now, number six is the job itself can get very mundane. I've seen days where I've had panels very full of surgery patients, that have pain as well as very kind of basic bread and butter and medicine cases like pneumonia or heart failure, exacerbations. And so you imagine going into work really wanna make a difference and knowing that some of your patients are surgery patients that were not really managed by you. You're just kind of helping coordinate the care. You have some patients who are chronic pain patients where you may not be able to please them regardless of what you do. And you have some patients where you're like, well, you know, I've identified you had a pneumonia or the emergency room doctor identified that you had a pneumonia and now we're just waiting for your antibiotics to kick in or your cultures to come back. You just kind of say hi, make sure they're improving and often they are, that's kind of the end of what you're doing. And so if you have one day like this, it may seem like an easy day. If you have a few in a row, it could just kind of become redundant and mundane. And so if you have things outside of the hospital that you're looking forward to, like in a few months, I'm just gonna have a daughter at home waiting to interact with me that I would love to interact with. And if the job is not fulfilling, that's all I'm gonna wanna spend time doing. And so having a job that you're actually looking forward to going to enjoying your time while you're there and then can come home and spend time with the priorities is really what I was looking for. Now, overall, again, being a hospice was a great experience. I was able to basically solidify the knowledge that I learned at residency in medical school. I feel like a much better physician, even as a cardiologist, I feel like I managed a lot of those conditions without the help of a general medicine doctor or a consultant, because I've done it for an entire year. All of those patient experiences and memories, all these cards behind me that I have are going to be carried forward to me as I become a cardiology fellow. And know for a fact that I was very lucky to join the group that I ultimately did. And I'm very lucky that I'll be in the same hospital system, still working alongside them as a cardiology fellow. And if you have any questions about being a hospice, maybe it's a career that you're considering just like I was, it is a great field. It can work very well for who you are, especially if a lot of those outside of the hospital things matter more to you than your job satisfaction. For me, it's a 50-50. I wanna love what I'm doing for 20, 30 years and also be able to spend time with those things and people that I really care for. And so this is why I ultimately chose to go and fill the cardiology again if you're interested in why I did that. I'll link down below that episode down below. But if you guys have any questions about being a hospice, let me know in the comment section down below. If you're on your medical journey and you're like, I just wanna make sure I crushed it. I wanna make sure I avoid all the mistakes that this guy did and I wanna make sure that I make my own failures and thus be able to reach a higher point of success. Every single week I'm updating this document called the Med School Success Handbook with all the things that I wish somebody would have just told me so I can do this, don't do that. If you guys want it, it's absolutely free, I'll link it down below. If you're interested in working with myself and my team either through one-on-one coaching or just being able to use our guidance to help you study better, be more productive or just help you on a medical journey, be MCAT, board exams, residency, whatever it may mean, go ahead and check out the link down below for the Med Elite Academy where you can basically get lifetime access to group coaching with myself and the rest of our awesome medical students who are a part of our team. And if you enjoyed this episode, all I really ask you to hit that like button to just show your support and telling me to make more episodes like this one. And if you enjoy this one, you'll probably enjoy this one right here, my full day of the life as a hospitalist as well as this one and why I chose to feel the cardiology in the first place. As always, my friends, thank you so, so much for being a part of my journey and making it to the very end of this episode. Hopefully that was a little help to you guys and yours and I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace.


Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to treat arterial blockages caused by blood clots after a stroke. Pre-procedure, you may be advised to stop taking certain blood-thinning medications. On the day of the surgery, you are administered anesthesia intravenously, after which the surgeon makes an incision on your leg or collar bone, inserts a catheter, thin tube and guides it to the clot. The catheter has a balloon on the tip, which is then inflated. The surgeon later pulls the catheter back, dislodging the clot so it can be removed. In some cases, the doctor might inject medicines to dissolve the clot or treat a spasm in a blood vessel. The incisions are then closed. The entire procedure takes 2-3 hours. Post-procedure, you will rest for a few days in the hospital and may be asked to wear compression stockings to help prevent the clot from forming again.
