Annemarie Wiley was once surprised by means of fellow anesthesia practitioner and “Real Housewives” superstar Dr. Nicole Martin’s “hurtful” remarks about her evaluation of castmate Sutton Stracke’s clinical problems.
“I was really very hurt by Dr. Nicole doing that. As a colleague in anesthesia practice, she knows my training, she knows my skillset, she knows my knowledge base,” Wiley, 40, says of her “Miami” counterpart, 38, on Web page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast.
“Why wouldn’t you offer that professional courtesy and reach out to me and kind of ask, ‘Oh, I wasn’t really comfortable with that. Why were you doing that?’”
Wiley believes that Martin’s protection of Stracke, 52 — who suffers from a strictured esophagus — was once an consideration clutch relatively than a trustworthy expression of shock.
“I actually reached out to her after I was told that she made a video and she didn’t respond to it, which shows me that this wasn’t so much about clarifying anything for anyone,” the nurse anesthetist says of Martin, who's an anesthesiologist.

“It was really, unfortunately, about trying to capitalize off of the ‘Beverly Hills’ show and I guess this is what the kids call clout-chasing, right? You’re just trying to capitalize on the moment for likes and whatever it is.”
Final month, Martin referred to as out Wiley for what she considered “cringey” feedback about Stracke’s well being.
“It does not matter where you fall on the spectrum — all the way from being a tech to being a doctor. You joined the profession to be an advocate for patients, and as such, it is not our place to belittle, question or demean a patient’s symptoms or diagnosis,” she mentioned in a video posted on Instagram.
“We are there to facilitate and help the patient through the medical process, and it was just very uncomfortable and cringey to watch Annemarie belittle Sutton’s symptoms in such a way.”
Previous this season on “RHOBH,” Wiley puzzled Stracke’s declare that she had a slender esophagus, making it harder to devour.
“After hearing about Sutton’s small esophagus, as a nurse anesthetist, I’m, like, what she’s saying as stated just doesn’t make sense,” she mentioned in a confessional. “Period.”
The Bravo rookie, who's married to former NFL professional Marcellus Wiley, then informed Stracke throughout a gaggle dialogue, “As far as I understand … narrow esophagus, that’s a symptom of something, that’s not a medical diagnosis. If you have a stricture in your esophagus, all you do is chew your food more.”
“If you really have a problem, you go get treatment for that,” she added.
Annemarie vehemently apologizes to people who have been angry by means of her line of wondering, which has — in conventional Bravo model — devolved right into a debacle identified to audience as “Esopha-gate.”
“Let me just start by saying [sorry] to anyone and everyone that was hurt, offended with me saying my facetious remark: ‘Oh, if you have a stricture, you just chew your food,’” she says on “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
“I was being very facetious when I said that. And lesson learned in that, as a [medical] professional on this platform, I now understand that I’m not going to be given the same kind of … leeway to be nonsensical like some of the other ladies will be with some things.”
Annemarie emphasizes that it wasn’t her purpose to “offend anybody” with jocular remark on an “actually very serious” matter. “I apologize for that,” she asserts.
The mum of 4 says she most effective was curious after her buddy Kyle Richards remarked to the “Beverly Hills” girls that Stracke doesn’t devour a lot, a addiction that the latter blamed on having a slender esophagus.
“I’m really trying to understand what [Stracke’s] talking about and this is why,” she explains. “It’s being presented to me — as somebody who’s just meeting the ladies for the first time – as an excuse.”
Annemarie feels Stracke was “very angry and defensive” over her queries about the reason for esophageal demanding situations, making it tough for the pair to search out not unusual flooring amid differing reviews.
“She’s not very forthcoming with information sometimes,” the Mission Transition co-founder says. “So that’s really what it is.”
Annemarie has asserted that Stracke’s slender esophagus is a symptom of an underlying situation relatively than a prognosis, even though her adversary doesn’t appear to agree.
“I’m trying to understand what the underlying condition is that it is,” she says. “Like, what’s happening?”
Annemarie recognizes that it’s tricky let's say the nuances of such warfare throughout the 42-minutes which are usually allocated to a unique episode of “Housewives” — one more reason she feels Martin’s social media statements in opposition to her have been uncalled for.
“And then as another reality TV personality, she knows that you don’t always get the full picture. If she actually was responding because she really cared, she would have reached out to me,” says Annemarie, who participated in a clinical panel with Martin at BravoCon 2023 in November.
“I thought she was really nice, I thought she was really classy. She didn’t come across as the kind of person that would do that. So … I think it was really sad.”
