Summary

All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome, Dr. Reynolds A. Kairus or also known as "Dr. Rey" as a guest to the show.

 

Dr. Rey was raised in the 1990s by a single mother, on government assistance and living in a poverty-stricken NYC neighborhood. Nine out of ten of the people he was raised with are either dead, in jail or have been to jail. His father figures were loved ones who were in and out of correctional facilities, gangster movies and gangster rap artist. After several benign run-ins with the law and near-death experiences, he decided to get his act together.

 

Dr. Rey became an emergency medical technician in 2003. He started considering the possibility of becoming a physician in 2004, although he secretly thought that a person with his upbringing and social class couldn’t make this monumental achievement happen. After being introduced to the “Self-Improvement” section of Barnes and Noble, he began to realize the potential that he had - the potential we all have.

 

Receiving mentorship through books and high-level individuals allowed him to pursue the goal to become a medical doctor.

 

After graduating, the stress of not practicing medicine immediately, not working, considering eating food out the garbage, being on government assistance again, being a family of 4 while living in a room the size of a closet, being 60 pounds overweight, the initiation of an inevitable divorce, being surrounded by negative energy, amongst other things.... was overwhelming.

 

That is when he got sick and tired of being sick and tired. Dr. Rey then leaned on a healthy lifestyle as a safe haven and sought mentorship, started tracking his macronutrient intake, became conscious of the negative self-talk, took up martials arts and weightlifting.

 

Now you’ll note a man who got his life back, is confident, living his dreams, full of energy and living life on his terms and Dr. Rey wishes the same for you!

MD. Welcome, Dr. Ray. And thank you for having me. I appreciate it very much. It's our pleasure.

0:51.3

So for our viewers and listeners, I just said New York streets to MD,

0:55.6

would you mind taking a moment and explaining and sharing why you chose that, you know,

1:00.4

tag or that handle? Yeah, the reason why is because my past is very different from my present.

1:07.7

So just to break it down for you, NYC is the origin, is where I'm from originally.

1:13.6

This is where I've been raised and this is where I live and this is where I learned to become

1:18.0

a health care provider for nearly 20 years, going on over 20 years. I've been in NYC, but the

1:25.3

part streets is very, very specific to the fact that I used to run in the streets

1:30.9

as an ex-gang member, as a troubled youth, as basically a stereotypical New York City kid who

1:37.7

was raised without a father.

1:39.4

But then I went back to the streets to work as a health care provider, specifically in pre-hospital

1:45.4

care as an emergency care provider, EMT, paramedic.

1:49.6

And then MD, because I made the transition from the streets to becoming a medical doctor.
