The straight scoop on 💩: San Francisco nurse Susan Wong is on a mission to break down the poo taboo and save the world from constipation, one viral video at a time.
The Examiner recently sat down to plumb Wong for advice and get to know the hometown medical hero. This conversation has been lightly edited and trimmed for length.
Everybody has poop issues, and some linger longer than others. More than half of the human population is constipated. We don’t want people to brush away their problems. So I will point out some of the problems and present solutions. And I think wearing the lab coat kind of helps separate me as a health professional. You have to think of good visual stimulation.There’s been a lot of positive feedback and there hasn’t been a whole lot of negative feedback.
The book has a main fictitious character going through it, her name is Ella. She’s a hard-working young woman who isn’t taking good care of herself and has constipation. She goes through an array of symptoms. And then finally, she comes to a halt. She has to get examined because she can’t go on anymore. The book goes into some of the gastro physiology and how she’s eating. And I go into the history of food and how food has changed over the years.
I actually came into my own personal journey when I was looking for birth control as a college student. I knew that that was something that I had to learn about quickly because the hormones are just stirring, going crazy. I went to Planned Parenthood, and there again, a wonderful health educator who happened to be a nurse talked to me about condoms. Condoms were at the time coming in vogue with all these colors, styles and textures. It was quite a different outlook from what I was used to.
