Never Will I Ever
You’d never guess that some of your favorite everyday activities are on our experts’ personal no-fly list. In this eye-opening conversation, Vincente Nelson, MD, a trauma surgeon at Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial and Timothy Tan, MD, chief of emergency medicine at Jackson Memorial Medical Center shares the habits, hobbies, and Miami-style behaviors that most often land people in the emergency room or Ryder Trauma.
From e-scooters and motorcycles, to water sports, cosmetic surgery gone wrong, viral trends, and vaping, these doctors share firsthand stories from the front lines of medicine—and why they personally say “never will I ever.”
This isn’t about living in fear. It’s about knowing the risks, making smarter choices, and understanding what doctors really see after the sirens stop.
