Nurses, Medical Intuition, and the Future of Medicine

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:01]Happy nurses day. I wanted to make a special video to honor all the nurses and to also talk about what role I think nurses play in the future of medicine.

[00:00:14]And this has to do with a book that I'm working on with a larger vision I have for, you know, medical intuition and the future of medicine. But first, let me start out with some gratitude for nurses. I want to tell a story.

[00:00:29]So, I've had my fair share of visits to hospitals and you know, it's never fun going to a hospital and I can just recall that the very best care that I received anytime I was in a hospital was from a nurse and also outside of hospitals in doctor's offices, I often had the best care from nurses. And you know most nurses are female [snorts] and the medical industry is very patriarchical and you know hierarchical and there's a lot of um [snorts] you know mistreatment of nurses because of this weird power imbalance between doctors and nurses and the fact that most nurses are female and there's more nurse p more doctors in powerful positions who are male and Um, and I think that that's going to change in the future because what nurses bring to health care is they bring that attention to the patient. They bring that nurturing, they bring that kind of detailoriented approach. You know, nurses kind of keep track of everything.

[00:01:42]And so when they have a patient that they're responsible for, you know, they're monitoring everything, their vitals, their, you know, their test results, their symptoms, they're talking to the patient. [snorts] And I think in the future, we're going to recognize that that part of medical care is more important or just as important than other types of medical care, which we now assign to doctors. and then we give them a higher status. [snorts] And I think that's going to have to change because we have a lot of problems right now with our medical system. Um, for one thing, women have a very hard time getting complex conditions diagnosed, getting chronic conditions diagnosed. Um, for many conditions, serious conditions, women, it takes them seven to 10 years to get a diagnosis.

[00:02:34]They're sent from doctor to doctor.

[00:02:36]They're told it's all in their head, that they're crazy. They're given anti-depressants, they're sent to therapists for physical problems that require a physical solution. [snorts] Um, and so that's one of the problems that we're facing. Um, we also, um, just have a hard time dealing with chronic illness in general. You know, Western medicine doesn't really know what to do with chronic illness. So, um, you know, there's treatment, but there's no cure.

[00:03:04]there's no you know solution for a lot of chronic illnesses and then there's a way in which patients are blamed for them. Oh, this is a lifestyle problem.

[00:03:14]Diabetes, heart disease, you know, high blood pressure, um chronic fatigue syndrome. There's a lot of, you know, um MS, like there's a lot of chronic conditions. And in some cases, the patient is just blamed like, "Oh, it's your fault." You know, and [snorts] there's this idea that if people would change their life, they wouldn't have these conditions. And yet the conditions, the circumstances don't really exist for a lot of people to change their lives, right? There's a real strong correlation between certain conditions and stress. And people don't have a choice about eliminating stress from their life. For example, recent studies have come out showing that the stress of racism is directly correlated to the rates of heart disease in the black community.

[00:04:07]And I think we're going to find more and more when we do more research that there are certain populations where we see a lot of health disparities where the reason those health disparities exist is not because these people are so bad at taking care of themselves but because they're dealing with inordinate amounts of stress, [snorts] racism, um you know, poverty, different you know, sexism, different issues that are [snorts] just really hard on the body.

[00:04:35]And so, um, I think that nurses, you know, are going to play a really important role in the future in terms of the way we change medical care, the way that we change the whole model of health care. And of course, what I see as the future of medicine is medical intuition.

[00:04:57]And so I'm working on a book right now, Medical Mystic, that's specifically about how medical systems can be improved by integrating medical intuition into our current healthcare.

[00:05:11]So medical intuition is the ability to use your intuitive gifts to look into somebody's body and identify the causes of their symptoms.

[00:05:23]And then these intuitive gifts can also be used to identify possible diagnostics or possible treatments.

[00:05:33]Now medical intuition is something that some people have as a natural gift. But really for it to be effective, it needs to be trained and honed. A person needs to take classes. They need to study it.

[00:05:43]They need to practice over and over again so that their medical intuitive gift is really sharpened and honed, repeatable and can produce verifiable information. And when it can, it can be very effectively integrated into the medical care system. And I think nurses are kind of the perfect people to do this to kind of be at the forefront of integrating medical intuition into mainstream medicine. [snorts] And for a couple of reasons. One perhaps obvious one is most medical intuitives are women. Now, men can certainly learn medical intuition, but in terms of people just having natural gifts in medical intuition, it just is the case currently that most of those people are women. I think in the future that will change [snorts] will have, you know, more and more, for example, non-binary people will be expressing medical intuition. Then in time, once the divine masculine is is reintroduced to our society, we'll have more and more men who are in tune with their intuition.

[00:06:52]But our current society doesn't really support or encourage the development of intuitive gifts in men. [snorts] And that's something I think that we need to change. And so if you look at a lot of the mediums [snorts] and psychics and intuitives who are male presenting out in the world right now, a lot of them are gay or um have a more balanced feminine masculine uh presentation or their you know non-binary in their in their kind of way of living or their way of being in the world.

[00:07:27]And that's kind of the first step like people being more in touch with both their masculine and feminine sides. It's always going to bring you closer to the divine if you can be uh more balanced, right? If you can be um more in touch with your different different aspects of who you are. [snorts] And so that's evolving, right? But for the time being right now, we have a lot of women who are nurses. And of course there's, you know, there's male nurses too. And I think it's true of the male nurses also because they're in the field of nursing already. I think that has allowed them to nurture a more balanced feminine masculine um kind of soul presentation.

[00:08:09]And you find that I I do find that with nurses there is already more of an expression of intuition in their work.

[00:08:19]So you have a lot of nurses who are intuitive.

[00:08:22][snorts] You know, I've had nurses who um despite what a doctor said were able to be in tune with what was really going on before the test results showed it or before the doctor confirmed it. [snorts] And I think that's because a lot of nurses are already tuned in to their intuition and some have even nurtured or developed their intuition while on the job in order to become better nurses.

[00:08:54]Um, and I think that's also sometimes where conflicts arise between doctors and nurses where you have doctors who are totally out of touch intuitively and not able to tap into information that the nurse is picking up. Now, we do have uh doctors who also access their intuition. I'm not saying we don't. I'm just saying that I think there are more nurses who are tuned in. [snorts] And again, I think this will change over time. It it has to. And I'm really excited about seeing those changes. We [snorts] are seeing more and more um health care professionals in general kind of beginning to embrace uh alternative and complimentary approaches to medicine. But there's an incredible amount of dogma out there that's very anti-alternative medicine. And um you know, I was on this um social media site the other day and I was trying to suggest that somebody um have their dog try acupuncture for some joint issues. And I got this just really huge kind of negative reaction from somebody and it was all this dogma of, you know, there's nothing proven in acupuncture. it's all uh you know the the placebo effect and and so I had to like go and pull up some medical studies and post them because if you actually read medical studies you'll see there's a lot of evidence for a lot of different types of complimentary medicine and acupuncture is a form of systematic medicine that predates alopathy. It's a very ancient medical system and it has been proven to be effective on a number of conditions.

[00:10:43][snorts] But we have this dogma right that oh you know western medicine is the only you know safe effective form of medicine even though you know ayurveetic medicine also predates western medicine and um [snorts] but that's starting to change right people are starting to be more open um recent I've seen recent surveys showing that you know more and more doctors are starting to be more open to it and the main reason they're becoming more open to it is because the patients are demanding it Right? Most patients now are using some type of complimentary or alternative medicine whether they tell their doctors or not. Right?

[00:11:22][snorts] And in a in a sense some some doctors are kind of being left behind, right?

[00:11:28]It's like they're they haven't progressed with the time. But I feel like nurses are um able to progress a little faster [snorts] in part because of the hierarchical structure, right? Um and in part just because women have been more in touch with their intuition than men in you know the last several hundred years um because of the fact that we live in a patriarchal society which suppresses those gifts in men.

[00:12:04]So I think the future of medicine is going to include a couple of things like the elevation of nurses beyond this kind of low status suppressed position that they currently have beneath doctors. I think that's going to have to change and I think also medical intuition is going to become part and parcel of medicine.

[00:12:24]We're going to have nurses and doctors and PAs and different, you know, health care professionals who are [snorts] using their intuitive gifts to help guide their assessment of patients. And one of the reasons I think this is going to happen in addition to the fact that we're in this shift in consciousness right now which is pushing all of us towards a more intuitive future. This is also going to happen because of technology because AI is now being introduced into the medical setting and there the just study just came out um in the Mayo Clinic showing that AI was able to diagnose um pancreatic [snorts] cancer three years earlier than it was previously, you know, possible. And there's been a number of other findings about how using AI to, you know, evaluate large large, you know, amounts of data can help doctors to more quickly and efficiently diagnose patients based on, you know, um, tests, diagnostics, MRIs, it's, you know, blood tests, etc. [snorts] And so I think as that happens, right, as we begin to rely more and more on AI to analyze data, that's going to free up health care workers to do other things.

[00:13:48]And so they're not going to have to be focused so much on reading MRIs and X-rays and blood tests, right? And that's going to free them up to develop their intuitive gifts which will allow them to [snorts] get answers um that they weren't able to get in the past or to get a more holistic answer like this person doesn't have either a physical problem or it's a me it's a emotional problem and therefore not real. Right? we could get past these dichotoies and be like okay patient A you know has a has the following physical problem we figured this out from the diagnostics and we also feel that stress is a component or we also feel that the patient's thinking is a component or we also feel that you know there are other factors here and so we're going to give this person um a treatment plan that includes the treatment of their physical problem and also assistance with their emotional or mental issues, right?

[00:14:54]So we could have a more holistic form of medicine in the future based on um you know bringing in more intuition. Um outsourcing you know kind of this the more technical aspects of the job to AI and changing some of the hierarchy and the and the status and power issues eliminating some of the sexism from the field. [snorts] Um, I think these are all things that are possible and and I think that's the direction that we're headed in when it comes to mainstream medicine and I think that nurses play a really important role. And so, but I just want to end by just thanking nurses again. Um, there was this one nurse in Florida.

[00:15:42][snorts] I don't remember her name, but I was about to go into a procedure and she came in early to her shift. It was a really early procedure, like 7:00 in the morning, and she came in at like 6:30 before her shift started just to check on me, and I was struggling to prepare for this procedure, and I didn't want to ask for help, so I hadn't. And she came in the room and said, "No, you need help. I came in early because I knew you needed help." And I will never forget that. I will never forget her going the extra mile to make sure that I was okay. And I mean there are so many stories like that. There are so many nurses who go the extra mile who who who who really give their heart and soul to their patients who really [snorts] um you know work too hard really. And and I'm getting choked up just thinking about you know all of these beautiful nurses out there who make such a difference in the lives of patients and if it weren't for them um people would just suffer. so much more. And so I'm just so grateful. So, you know, if you have a nurse in your life, thank them today. Get them a gift. Um, you know, happy nurses day.
