Failed Back Surgery In A Flawed System | Luigi Mangione Exposing Layers Of Lies We Tell Ourselves

hello I made a video maybe a week ago now about the United Health Insurance um CEO murder and uh since I made that video there's more information that came out so um I wanted to talk a little bit more about that information uh curiously the video that I made about a week ago um maybe about couple days after after um I posted it um Google Google just quietly changed its ad suitability uh I just noticed it yesterday uh saying that that that video is not suitable for um uh majority of of advertisers uh and that

the video will still allow to be um posted but uh it's it's not eligible for add um add money um I found that interesting because that that video um kind of I think this camera is little tilted hold on ah close enough yeah close enough I found that interesting because um it's sort of a way to nudge content creators to uh not talk about it not talk about what happened um yeah I I I I did not endorse violence I did not I was just neutrally describing what happened well as best as I can stay

neutral um but I did not condone any violence in that video um but that video is not eligible for ad money according to Google or YouTube um so I think it's just another example of how um corporations and people with money and power uh steer the the discourse um yeah there's a lot of power now a video talking about the murder of a insurance CEO is not allowed ad money uh but they don't care if I talk about a video describing how humans are causing a six Math mass extinction um I don't care if I

make a video saying that 96% of mammals that are alive today by mass are humans and they're domesticated animals that they rais to eat and only 4% are wild mammals they don't care about that they care only about if if I talk about uh a rich powerful person getting killed um that's not that's not suitable for ad money so yeah that's an interesting story interesting interesting thing so I I I'm going to talk more about what they they find unsuitable for ads in this video side note before I go into that that um in New

Jersey there's still no answers to the drones that are flying around uh us airspace um it's been going on since the last half of November and these drones are reported to be the size of a car or truck and um there's multiple of them and some of them are coming from the ocean or the direction of the ocean but the FBI and Department of Homeland Security say that they have no idea what these are who flies them where they come from where they land where they take off from but don't worry they're not a danger

well that that just that just smells of uh some not so good stuff so I'm I'm curious to see what happens with the um New Jersey drone situation um the military's been quiet Air Force Pentagon Coast Guard although I think some Congress person talked about Coast Guard ship saying that like dozens and dozens of these drones were following the Coast Guard ship uh so yeah it's interesting interesting thing happening I don't know what it is but I'm curious to see uh what comes of it uh but talking about our interesting story of today that may

be slapped with another unsuitable for add money um uh Nudge by YouTube Big Brother um uh the suspect for the murder um of the United Health CEO was caught and in McDonald's of all places um and it turns out the suspect is Luigi mangion a 26 year uh 26 or 27 year old man uh who went to had an IV League education um comes from a well-to-do family apparently uh went to upen and studied computer science and got a master's and was working for some company and then um a year ago had spine surgery wow

the it's so um to me it's so interesting that um he had spine surgery because for me is interesting because that that's what I used to do I used to do spine surgery and I got disillusioned by it uh and that's why I'm here making YouTube videos uh I I I quit that job over a year ago now and um I find it interesting because I think looking into spine surgery and really trying to understand it is a window into looking into the Illusions and Lies We Tell ourselves about the way we live right now

um so that's what we're going to that's what we're going to do we're going to look into spine surgery failed back spine surgery we're going to look into how the doctors decide what surgeries patients are might may benefit from do they actually benefit from them how does the insurance work what is the underlying cause of these problems do the surgeries address the underlying cause what are The Lies We Tell ourselves about Healthcare in this country what are The Lies We Tell ourselves about how our society is is structured those are some of the things we're

going to talk about today so let's see here um first we'll go to desktop mode and go to the interwebs to find out about Luigi mioni here's a title did Luigi manion's back pain surgery go wrong what we know well first before we um talk about this picture of his spine uh he was caught at a McDonald's with um reportedly with a ghost gone a supressor and the ID that he checked in at the hostel with which was a fake ID from New Jersey and he had a uh quote unquote Manifesto uh written on him

um that was about health health insurance and and we we'll look at some of the words he wrote so it sounds like they got the guy now the interesting thing is someone who is smart enough to plant Monopoly money in the backpack oh so he he dropped a a backpack in Central Park um and the backpack had Monopoly money which I I find kind of funny that's that's uh that's like a chef's kiss moment is really got a good sense of humor this guy this guy's a smart kid smart man not kid man um so

the fact that he's caught with the weapon and a Manifesto and all this stuff at a McDonald's uh I think this this man wanted to be caught and I was thinking why would he want to be caught and I my own theory about it is that if he wasn't caught this story would have been um this story would have been killed in a week like people would have forgot about it you know we don't we we don't have long attention spans um these days um a new cycle Cycles through shocking news very quickly um so

if he wasn't Caught no one would be thinking about what happened a week or two from now but the fact that he gets caught and then there he is arrested and then there's charges and then he has to go to court that keeps the story alive so I think that was his intent and uh I mean he he may be counting on the fact that people's um anger towards insurance companies is so great that he has a chance of jury nullification which means that in a court case if you if you prove Beyond a reasonable

doubt that Luigi mangion committed the crime the murder um the jury can still deliver a verdict of not guilty if they want to send a message to the system and um and that can release Luigi uh even though the evidence May overwhelmingly point to him as the killer so I'm not I'm not a lawyer I'm not a lawyer but um that's what I was reading is jury nullification so if that happens uh if he gets released wow then that that would be that would be a very interesting thing for our society um well in the

in in the meantime people have been people have been looking at his social media I went to his Twitter account and it had the spine picture in the center of his Banner um and a number of things where um and the media is kind of trying to find ways to smear this guy U and so one of the ways they're doing that is saying that he is a um uni bomber Ted kazinski um admirer which Luigi did write um some supportive comments on some good reads uh um web page about Ted kazinsky book about technology

and civilization so I um I'm not sure that many people know about who Ted kazinski is and the unibomber but um he was an Ivy League person just like Luigi he went to Harvard I think he studied math and then uh he got uh he became very critical of society and technology in particular saying that uh this technology alienates people and I I don't I don't know all the details of what what he he believed but essentially that the Industrial Revolution was a um a mistake for humans um and then Ted kazinski bombed a bunch

of people innocent people um in order to get a Manifesto out uh that was part of his um yeah he put a manif EST him out and then his brother recognized his writing and then turned him in uh and so he's I think he's still alive in prison um but but Luigi was writing that um I forget exactly what he wrote on the good reads but it's you can look it up um he was very supportive of this um saying that Ted kazinski was like a political revolutionary or some something like along those lines um

so I find that interesting because you I I've I've read about Ted kazinski um and I you know I I don't agree with bombing innocent people like what is that going to accomplish it just mimes and kills innocent innocent people um so I do not condone that I I I think that that is counterproductive um uh uh do I do I think that technology is a problem um yeah yeah I think well I think civilization itself is unsustainable um if you look at the places where civilization first started in in Iraq um present day Iraq

U Mesopotamia uh um all the forests are wiped out it's desert there that's what civilization does it cuts down the forest and clears it to make make food and to use the trees for housing or or war or whatever uh and then then you end up with a desert and people have to move somewhere else the problem is uh humans have pretty much in inhabited all the easily livable places in in the in the world uh and there's 8 billion of us over 8 billion of us now 8.2 8.2 billion um and we're cutting down

uh the the trees like like they'll just come back um in the last 24 years so since the turn of the century since 2001 um the amount of forest that's been cut down in the world is equivalent to an area that is about 60% of the United States land mass the contiguous 48 U main main states it's like 60% of that is how much uh Forest has been cut down throughout the world since 2001 that's just not sustainable um so you know we I I agree that technology and the civilization that we have is going

to implode on itself and it's causing a huge problem um but I'm I'm not going to go blow up some innocent people that that just that's I don't I I just I I don't even see the logic behind that um it doesn't make sense to me so is that a way to smear Luigi maybe um but that's what's happening you the the mass media has um corporate backers and they can steer the discourse uh now we have social media and that can that gives us more freedom to communicate with each other um but even that

one is still controlled and nudged by YouTube or or X or Reddit or whoever U uh as exampled by the story I told at the very beginning where the video I made last is not eligible for ad money because it violates some policy or something um well uh what else about Luigi before we get into the spine stuff well let's get into the spine stuff so he he had a lumbar spine fusion um a year ago and this is his picture of his spine here it has his name Luigi mangion written on it you can

actually see his ab muscles on the x-ray this guy is ripped and you there's pictures of him that show his like six-pack I mean it's just this dude is is very strong um but this x-ray this x-ray shows he had uh Hardware placed these are titanium Hardware uh placed down in the bottom of his spine at L5 S1 this is the sacrum that's the tailbone oh so what we're looking at is a side view of this guy's body his belly button is here his ab muscles are there intestines are here these are the lumbar spine

Bones the vertebrae and then there's facet joints on the back and then this is the last lumbar bone and then the first bone of the sacrum which is one long bone and that connects to the pelvis so he's got four screws two rods and then there's set screws that hold the rods to the screw screws and then there's a little device that's made of plastic in here where the disc base used to be this is a lumbar Fusion for spondo thesis that's a that's a mouthful um what that is is this last joint slipped forward

on the other on the sacrum because the joints on the back either had a fracture or they wore out um usually it's a it's called a pars defect and it's very common in people that are athletic which looks like Luigi was very athletic um but most people don't need spine surgery um most people just either they can heal from the fracture and the fracture heals or they just live with a chronic it's called a chronic pars defect a chronic unhealed old fracture and it doesn't really bother them too much unless they do something to tweak

their low back um U I'm like 99% sure that I had a pars defect for many years years like probably like over a decade uh I was doing some kind of stretch um in I was taking an acting class in college at MIT and we were doing a like a yoga pose and I felt a a pop back there and for like over a decade um like if I do particularly the Roman Chair uh exercise where you bring your your legs up like this um I would feel pop uh or if I'm doing sit-ups in

a certain way I'd feel it like go clunk clunk clunk but um surprisingly it's healed some it healed sometime in the last like I don't know four or five years cuz I I was doing Roman Cher leg leg lifts and um it wasn't clunky anymore well um so it's Poss possible to heal um but it's also possible to end up with a surgery uh now this this this is very interesting to me because um this Luigi by gunning down a CEO a wealthy person um uh a person of the upper class um uh he he

showed a number of things um he showed that um that this could happen he showed that um he highlighted the fact that the these insurance companies are pardic and predatory and cause harm to thousands and thousands of people by denying them health care that their doctors are recommending U and so in indirectly or directly depending on how you want to say it um the leadership of these companies are responsible for the injury and possibly the deaths of thousands of Americans so Luigi is is showing us some lies that we or some well truths really truths

of of the situation that we just kind of like take for granted every day it's like oh okay they're CEOs of health insurance companies yeah they deny care yeah that hurts people but we're okay with it and they get rewarded millions and millions of dollars um and the company itself the corporation gets billions of dollars um and we're okay with that um so I I I think it's interesting in that regard but it's interest it it's even more interesting to me now that he had spine surgery because this really highlights a problem in healthc care

and it's also the reason why I left so I I want to spend some time going into that so this he had a lumbar spine fusion and we're just going to talk about what that is um these are titanium screws and I looked it up so a pedicle screw [Music] cost price okay meaning price of a pedicle screw is $878 uh the range is 400 to 18800 um and the video I made a week ago I said I thought it was around 300 so I was too low average price is nearly $900 for a single

screw and and when you do a surgery you put in at least four for a single level uh if it's two or three levels or more you have to put in more screws so each screw here average costs around $878 plus the rod plus the screws that hold the rod to the screws and then a spacer so I mean just from the hardware itself this is several thousands of dollars now um I'll the X-ray itself um shows to me that um I think there's really good reason for Luigi to have chronic back pain because these

top screws here the ones that go into L5 you're supposed to make them instead of go down into the spine straight like this parallel you're supposed to what's called medialize it it they come in an angle like that and I can tell that those screws are not medialized and what that does is it injures The Joint the Facet Joint Above So picle screw set injury let's see if we can find that yeah here we go see if we can find their um full size image all right so this is an looks like an L5 bone

like Luigi's um here's the bone when you put the screw in you've got a narrow channel to go through from the back to the front the front is over here back is over here and then there's a little joint on both sides called the Facet Joint because each bone has the disc up front and then two facet joints on the back um and you're supposed to angle the screws in medial like this but if you go in parallel like that what happens is you injure this joint space like here this this one is even though

this screw is angled inwards a little bit they in this Surge and injur the joint space that's supposed to M uh be maintained um let's see if I have another picture here's another one um this screw is barely okay CU it's outside the joint but this one definitely went through the joint um here's another example of screws that they need to start out on the sides and then go in but if you start too close to the middle you're going to go through the joints and I um you know I've I've seen it a lot

uh I've I've had patients come from other surgeons where they had chronic back pain after a lumbar fusion and they had um screws through the Facet Joint of the joint above um um and I had to take out those screws um and their pain got better uh but uh you know they suffered years and years with that problem uh so it it's actually a pretty common problem uh it's it is an incorrect technique of placing pedicle screws now I I don't have the um X-rays I don't have the CT scan uh so I can't say

for certain but when I look at that when I look at his X-ray I I the angle of the X-ray is caned so I should be able to see a little medialization or wedging of angling of the screws in but there is none so um yeah I think that there is a reason why I had chronic pain but that being said even if you do a perfect spine surgery you can still have chronic pain in in the patient can still suffer from chronic pain and that's just from the uh uh uh from it could be

from a number of things it could be from the muscle that was cut in order to get down there even if you do minimally invasive surgery you have to remove some attachments of muscle to the Bone there's some bone that's removed uh there's some scar tissue that forms around the nerves um and that that could cause chronic nerve pain um uh the The Joint that has the screws placed in it are um is fused or should fuse sometimes it doesn't fuse so uh you you have screws in bones are still moving and it's like having

some like a piece of metal inside a bone every time you move it it it Jiggles around in the bone that's very painful um so that that could happen um oh I forgot to say this gu the spacer that's in between the bones here it doesn't look like it's doing its job very well and the the bone isn't really pulled back into place very well so there just a number of things about this surgery that did not come out uh as an ideal outcome um um so uh that being said even with a perfect surgery

you could still have chronic pain uh I did do this kind of surgery uh for um patients that had spond thesis which means that a joint was loose like in Luigi's case um and I think that that helped a number of people uh live a better quality of life but it comes at a cost um the the recovery period is a full year before the The Joint locks down with bone um and there's significant risk of complications or or or injuries that could happen um uh and the surgery can fail and even if the surgery

is done perfectly there can be problems so there that's a that's a it's it's a difficult surgery to do well and it has a lot of risk and the outcomes are not for surgeon so yeah but it reimburses well and that's for certain so let's say if somebody just had a bulging disc and you do a surgery where you um I'm going to go back to full screen if you do a surgery where you um just do a take out a bulging disc and you make some room for the nerves um that surgery reimburses around

um around $1,500 ,500 but if you do the surgery that Luigi had lumbar Fusion that one reimburses the surgeon um uh about a little over $5,000 depending on what state you're in um and that doesn't include the reimbursement to the hospital and the anesthesia and and and anyone else who is involved like physical therapist it's just the surgeons reimbursement so um the difference between a lumbar fusion and a disc surgery is 400% it it's four times the amount so if a surgeon is in the office um and they have a patient Well they um they

have a huge incentive to do surgery um if a patient comes in the the patients that have this problem who go to the the doctor are usually in a lot of pain they're suffering a lot they'll do anything to get out of that pain um but what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to talk with them about um conservative management which usually in in this country means sending the patient to physical therapy and a a specialist who can do steroid injections uh and then um giving them time uh and some medications so like muscle

relaxers uh anti-inflammatory medications but what's not usually done in this country is talk with the patient about the rest of of how you heal um what what's their diet like what do they eat and drink what substances do they con consume that are psychoactive do they smoke um oh actually we do talk about smoking but we don't really focus on do you drink a lot um uh what What's your mental health like um do you have past trauma that you're that's unresolved and is affecting your the way you relate to yourself and other people um

what is your social situation do you have people that support you are you alone do you have friends do you have family um are you connected with yourself are you connected with other people um do you exercise do you sweat do you spend time Outdoors do you get sunshine on your skin um it I me it definitely doesn't talk about do you have access to clean water and and clean air and food that is not covered in um pesticides or or forever chemicals and do you eat food that is real food it's not you know

preservative filled and uh um Laden with too much salt and sugar and oils uh like processed things um you don't have time to talk about all those things in the clinic because the way that the clinic is structured is to maximize the number of surgeries that you can get out of the clinic time so say say you have a 30 minute visit for a new patient you don't have time to talk about all those things that actually lead to real healing true healing um you you just have enough time to examine the patient and then

um tell them what's wrong with their spine and then tell them to go to the physical therapy or or get an injection or try these medications and then um if they've already tried that then you said you need surgery um but you don't actually have time to tell them what actually fixes the problem which fixes the Leaky Roof problem um which is all those things I talked about mainly a mostly Whole Food plant-based diet that's low in sodium uh exercising sweating um getting Sunshine uh getting enough sleep U not smoking not drinking too much being

connected with yourself being connected with your loved ones um being connected with nature you know all those things that's that's how you heal that's how your your body actually repairs these joints and they can like I didn't think my spondo or my pars fracture would heal um but it did I'm surprised actually cuz I I thought I was just going to live the rest of my life with a clunk in my low back but it actually healed um and people are surprised that disc bulges can heal um even humongous dis bulges they can heal with

conservative therapy now there are times when you need to do emergency surgery like if they're crushing nerves um then someone needs to get surgery otherwise they can become paralyzed or have permanent nerve injury and sometimes even if you do the surgery uh they can still have residual uh permanent nerve injury so spine surgery is very challenging in um but there's a lot of incentives to do too much of it mainly the money uh so if if someone comes to to the doctor's office the surgeon's office and they say they have a little bit of spond

oesis kind of like what Luigi had U but maybe not as bad then the surgeon could choose between doing either a disectomy or laminectomy um uh or which which pay around 1,500 bucks or they could choose to do a lumbar Fusion which would pay $5,000 or over 5,000 so four times the amount um and it's a gray area it's up to the surgeon surgeon decides well patient and surgeon should decide honestly but not usually it's the surgeon decides um and the patient agrees um but in that gray area what is what drives the doctor to

do the smaller less invasive surgery or the more invasive but more lucrative surgery is it is it truly driven by the patient well-being or is it driven by um a car payment that needs to be made on the Porsche or the kid has a really expensive private school that is is like tens of thousands of dollars for like third grade you know it's just it gets into really murky um ethical area where even if a doctor is a saint um they could still be tempted to do more surgery than they really should be and and

it's very easy to lie to yourself and say that you're doing it in the benefit of the patient but you're also doing it for yourself and maybe not so much for the benefit of the patient uh so there there's a huge ethical problem there and um you know that's if a a doctor is paid in um what's called eat what you kill model which is awful for being a doctor eat what you kill is is um you get paid for the surgeries you you do so the more you do the more you get paid um

I've worked under that model uh for seven years um another model that I worked under was um a flat salary so in a way um that removes the pressure off the doctor uh the financial Temptation um but there's still a pressure because the hospital what they'll do is they will um Set uh metrics that you can get a bonus your yearly bonus depends on a set number of metrics one of them is productivity and they will set the productivity just beyond where you you or a good amount Beyond how much you you produced uh the

year before uh for the hospital and they'll say well if you if you um do 10% more or whatever you'll get an extra bonus uh at the end of the year um and then if let's let's just say like in my case you know I I'll be like oh okay um well I I'm just going to do the surgeries that I that I think are are are the right thing to do uh so I'm not really looking to increase the volume of of surgeries um but then every month you're reminded how you are um missing

the productivity goal that somehow is there something that you can do Dr Choy to uh improve your productivity uh it's like something's wrong with me some something's wrong with me because I'm not producing the number of rvus which is the um the the the medical um lingo is like a credit how many credits you made um by doing surgeries uh uh Dr Choy your rvu numbers are lagging behind our goal you know we set this goal last year um you it it's it's it should be it should be attainable based off of our our Market

research um uh is there anything we can do to help you that that's the pressure that doctors get from the hospital because the hospital wants to make money so um yeah even in a salary position there's still pressure to do more surgeries than uh really should be done um and we haven't even touched the insurance problem why why are there insurance companies telling doctors what they can and can't do um and making billions of dollars off of American citizens um and denying them healthare so yes there's a problem of surgeries being done too much but

there's also a problem of this Insurance entity entities um essentially taking money from citizens US citizens and in in the process um obstructing Medical Care um so I mean that that's the problem that Luigi Luigi highlights and I think this article talked about his um Manifesto something he said at the bottom let's see here yeah here he says frankly these parasites simply had it coming a reminder the US has the number number one most expensive Health Care system in the world yet we rank roughly number 42 in life expectancy United is the largest company in

the US by market cap behind only Apple Google and Walmart it has grown and grown but has our life expectancy no the reality is these blank have simply gotten too powerful and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it um well that that's that's pretty well said why are we spending so much money for such little uh um such little um results so I think this let's see if there's any other things I wanted to talk about regarding that oh well we didn't

talk about the device companies that sell the hardware they're making money um anesthesia dogs are making money um H yeah we didn't talk about the underlying cause of these joint problems the underlying cause of these joint problems is that the body is not healing well um because our bodies the discs the joints they're subject to wear and tear uh wear and tear just from normal life moving around twisting bending T picking things up getting up from the ground um playing sports exercising U it's normal to have wear and tear in the the joints the discs

um the muscles around um around the spine but normally the body repairs it it heals it um and for some reason people get so surprised when I was a doctor and I would tell them your disc and and Joints they can heal they'd be like what but I have a huge bulging disc don't you need to cut that out well majority of huge Bolding discs go away on their own it the body just knows to take care of it and repairs it the body's amazing but most people don't realize that the body can heal if

you help it um and so uh you know that I would try to help walk patients through how to actually heal um um and if you're interested in that that's my help your body heal series there's a whole series of videos but the the very last video is kind of a summary of it's a synopsis of all the other videos so if you're interested in that you have spine problems look look at I recommend you look at that video the the last one of the help your body heal series um it says synopsis in the

title um why did Luigi get spondo Lis that needed spine surgery well he was hella fit I mean he had huge muscles hardly any body fat um but he liked to eat at McDonald's so um I suspect that he he was very fit physically but the food that was going into his body I don't know about his sleep patterns but the food that was going to his body I think was preventing his body from keeping those joints healthy um even in a young 26-year-old like if you if you look at uh autopsies done of uh

US soldiers who died in Korea in the Korean War um these soldiers are very young 18 19 20 21 years old they're fit uh they're in the Army um but when they did autopsies they found many of them had 90 95 even 99% uh blocked arteries in their hearts uh uh and in different parts of their body uh but they didn't even know it um it's because the food that we eat in America uh is not healthy for our bodies a food that is um marketed and advertised uh is damaging to the body um the

the majority of the food that we have that's advertised is has way too much sodium too much salt uh too much sugar too much uh oils french fries uh have both salt and and um uh um I'm salivating thinking about it CU they're so yummy um there's a like pizza commercials it's got too much salt uh and too much um fats and oils um too much animal Foods so um in this country and people eat way too much animal Foods um I don't think it's it's harmful to the body to eat some an animal Foods

occasionally but eating it every day every meal is is causing problems it's it's causing blocked arteries is cause because cholesterol which is part of what clogs up the arteries is found in animal Foods including eggs and dairy it's it's not found in plants um so the the foods that are marketed and advertised in America lead to people getting blocked arteries and their body is not healing well you need you need at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day to have a healthy microbiome that helps your immune system repair things and heal um if

you have too much salt uh it's going to cause inflammation autoimmune problems uh there's there's but there's so much money to be made in selling food that has a lot of animal products because people can make a lot of money raising animals um uh and I still find it like mindboggling that that uh of all the mammals on the on the surface of the Earth only 4% are wild animals and it's something like uh 30% % are humans by mass and then the rest which is what is that 66% is um chickens and cows and

pigs and other animals that we raise to eat domesticated animals that's that's messed up um but there's a lot of money to be made in that so that that's um and it's marketed Dairy cheese uh Meats chicken fish uh Americans they're they're they're marketed these foods and processed foods that are very salty they're marketed these things and they're sold these things Americans buy them they pay their money to buy these things and it destroys their body and then they end up in the Health Care system and the health healthare system makes money off of their

body by doing surgeries and pills um so it's and then insurance companies they they skim the money too um pharmaceutical companies I didn't even talk about them um their their ideal is to um their their ideal is to have a sick patient that is sick when they're young and then have a a pill that can partially improve the symptoms but not cure the the problem so that that young person has to take the pills the rest of their life that's a dream for pharmaceutical companies so it's in every which way the food the medical care

the the pills the surgeries the insurance um there there all these people making money off the bodies of Americans and um what Luigi did kind of brings this all into the spotlight so I I find that very interesting uh that he had spine surgery and he murdered an insurance CEO um I I do know that when you are on in chronic pain it affects your thinking if you're on narcotic pain medication I don't know if he was on narcotic Med medication but even Tylenol even Tylenol can decrease your empathy for other people um so did

that lead to him doing the shooting uh I don't know it might have contributed but there's a lot of other reasons that could potentially be motives um I would not say that the spine surgeon the spine surgery made him do this but uh it probably contributed um but yeah these are the these are the lies that uh he exposes the lies that we tell ourselves that um uh that highly processed foods are are are good for us that um um doctors and hospitals always have the patients interest at heart that insurance companies are there to

help the doctors and hospitals do the right thing um that Pharmaceuticals companies are there to help people get better um well the the the murder of a CEO um shows that people are not equal in this country CEOs get special treatment um they get the f bi scouring the country for the killer um they the killing of a CEO makes um my YouTube video for the first time have uh limited ad uh no um saying it's unsuitable for advertisers uh advertisements uh first time because uh someone in power got killed even though I've made lots

of videos about how people have people are killing their their the other animals and plants uh and causing a mass extinction there's billions and billions of creatures that are dying at the hands of people but there's no problem with advertisements for those videos but there is a problem with advertisements for a video that talks about the murder of someone in power because violence should not flow upwards uh in in the power system I talked about that in the last video um well I don't think that I'm not I I don't think that they're going to

allow ads on this video either but we'll see um this these two videos were of course unexpected because I I didn't know that this was going to happen uh but it does play into uh the videos I've been making about trying to understand evil and how it affects our lives uh and then how to try to live a life that can um keep that evil in check uh and um so that we can be we can be good to each other and ourselves and I'm going to make other M videos I can make other videos

about my thoughts on that but I'm not going to do that in this video because this video is probably going to get um marked like the other one so I will discuss in the other videos uh my thoughts on how how the psychology of um abuse and power U propagates itself and how to count counteract that that's the next video so I'll see you in that one all right I I remembered something that I forgot to say uh there there is a condition called failed back surgery syndrome um that means that a patient has had

spine surgery and they continued to have chronic nerve or joint pain um and I looked and I looked in and tried to see if there's other surgeries that are called failed blank surgery syndrome like failed breast surgery syndrome or failed stomach surgery syndrome there isn't the only one I could find was a failed tennis elbow surgery syndrome um but I've never heard of that before but uh failed back surgery syndrome is very common and it it's just another example of how surgery for that problem is maybe the answer in a very small number of percentage

of cases um but the underlying problem is not addressed by surgery it's addressed by helping your body heal um so I forgot to say that in the video and just adding this on
