I’ve spent years telling my patients: “Screening can save your life. Don’t wait.” Today… I finally listened to my own advice.Lying on that colonoscopy table not as Dr. Yüksel, but just as me, a person who’s scared of what might be found, my heart was pounding. What if something...

Healthcare workers are often so concerned with caring for their patients, that they neglect to care for themselves. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

Thank you. If this post nudges even one person to book that overdue colonoscopy, FIT test, or whatever screening fits their risk profile, mission accomplished. 💙

So true!! I nudged my advice on an eligible loved one - and we found 13 polyps with some likely genetic tendencies. The family is now on surveillance and we can’t be more thankful!! Early detection is critical and timely screening, however uncomfortable and ‘unnecessary’ is the key to early detection.

Why am I not even surprised by this, I’m afraid if more and teachers have this epiphany then we won’t have any left to teach our kids. This woman used to be a teacher with a master’s degree. I can’t imagine devoting that much time and money to a profession only to find out I could make more just working a normal job. I think more and more that higher education is possibly turning into a scam. Growing up I was always told to focus on school, get an education and I will soar. Not too long after that I found out that wasn’t the case. I don’t even use my degree at all, I got it because I was told by my parents I had to. I worked two jobs while in school so I could graduate without debt, only to put it on the wall and forget about it. I later on went the family business route anyways as I always planned on doing. I feel I was pressured and sold a pipe dream that a degree would be the answer to anything financial for me, that it would unlock possibilities. For me, it closed many doors, many employers saw me as being overqualified. The turning point for me was when I used to go to a hotel with co-workers after work and I got to know my server. Turned out he had a degree in a similar field to mine and he was waiting on tables and in massive student debt because of it. I can tell the college dream turned into a nightmare for him. To spend thousands and not be able to use it to recoup my money would make me feel like the biggest fool around. I felt like if anyone came by to sell me magic beans, I would have a beanstalk in my yard. While not using my degree worked for me, there are so many more others that can’t say the same.

For people coming at me about this I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 19 same year Lehner came to our team. His free story in Athletic helped me to apply his strength to my own life and he became an idol to me as I was in high stress nursing school having full blown seizures in front of classmates. I was scared, upset and embarrassed. I said in my hospital bed “how can I be a nurse if I can’t even help myself?” I cried. It was a rough time. I found his story and reread it that season. He was standing on an NHL stage with his mental battle. It was inspiring to me. Cheesy, but if he could that, I could be strong too. I also really jumped into something that helped me release stress. Talking about hockey, podcasting, radio and going to games. And I was a big Lehner fan. He thanked me for getting his jersey that I received from my grandma as they drove me to my neurologist appointment. (I couldn’t drive as that was taken from me as a new epileptic) When my grandmother passed, who was my best friend, Lehner sent me condolences. It was an uphill climb but I haven’t a seizure in years due to medication and still follow this sport which I love. Lehner was a big idol in one of the roughest parts of my life. I now spread epilepsy awareness and even wrote a paper for work for November epilepsy awareness month for the nurses on proper care for epileptic patients. He taught me to speak up and spread awareness rather than feel shame. This video is me having a seizure streaming hockey. I’m not ashamed of it. Let others see what a seizure looks like. (I do not remember talking when the seizure happened)

At twenty-one I sold my first piece of software for seven figures. I thought that meant I made it. No parents. No guidance. No mentor. No understanding of money or taxes. Just a kid staring at a million-dollar check, convinced life had finally changed. And the moment that money hit, my family suddenly “found” me. They told me everything I had wanted to hear. That they cared. That they wanted to be in my life again. And I believed them. So I helped. I bought homes. Cars. Paid for school. Loaned money. Because I thought they were there for me. Then I did what any kid with no financial literacy would do. I bought myself a house. A boat. A car. I thought I was set. Then reality hit harder than any loss before it. Nobody had ever taught me about taxes. And when the tax bill came, it took almost everything that was left. What taxes did not take, the people around me did. And the moment the money ran out, every person who reappeared disappeared again. That year taught me two truths that shaped my entire career. Money does not change who you are. It exposes who everyone else is. And success means nothing if you do not have the discipline to protect it. I lost almost everything. But I gained something far more important. A sense of reality. A sense of responsibility. An understanding of what it actually takes to become the kind of person who can keep success instead of stumbling into it. It was a painful lesson. But the founder I became was created by that loss.
