Doc Mac...the myth, the man, the legend. Husband, Dad, 37-year Veteran spanning Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, rescue swimmer, avionics, search and rescue, and Emergency Medicine guru for 20+years...and still going strong.

Dee Tox and MZ were able to nail him down and talk about his unconventional journey to becoming a physician, his thoughts on nurses, the struggles he saw and dealt with during COVID, when he is the calmest, getting kicked out of training, life after the military, and what makes medicine most enjoyable.

Today's episode isn't just another story—it's a narrative of transformation and triumph with Carnell Smith Jr., or as he's known, Sgt WarDawg. His journey is a mirror to the many soldiers who return home to battles of a different kind—battles with PTSD, with reintegration, with finding a new mission in civilian life. His words are a beacon for the lost, as he passionately discusses his life's new direction: aiding homeless veterans through his organization and the invigorating power of nature. Keep an eye out for Sgt WarDawg's book and podcast, "The Wardawg Trail" releasing hopefully this year.
