A doctor has hit back at misconceptions made about government services by opening up about his experience using food stamps.
Tommy Martin, MD – who specialises in both paediatric care and primary care for all ages – frequently shares videos to TikTok about his career and everyday life. In a video shared to his account last month, he responded to a since-deleted video from a woman named Shannon about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The program is also known as food stamps, which are vouchers issued by the government to low-income families, with the stamps exchanged for food.
