The Biopsy Surprise: When Nobody Warned the Brother
In this episode, I revisit my very first biopsy — and trust me, it wasn’t what I expected. Let’s just say there are some experiences you never forget, especially when you walk in blind. I share the uncomfortable truth about being unprepared, a few lessons about communication in healthcare, and a story that’ll have you laughing and wincing at the same time.
And yes, we’re talking about the infamous “meat manipulation” moment — a real-life experience that no one’s bold enough to describe. Stick around for a sneak preview of one of my favorite upcoming episodes. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s exactly why Scarred Not Silent exists.
