Thank you for being the one of very few people that sheds light on the catastrophic reality of Americans. Most days I wake up with debilitating depression while combatting thoughts about how my poor quality of life seems inescapable due to all of the topics you brought up in this video. The unhealthy food marketing, greedy insurance corporations, physician quotas, big Pharma, and the unrelenting pressure to always consume more... it's tiring. I need to hear the truth about what's going to help me heal physically and mentally. Thank you for being the one person that's not influenced by power and money.
the part about the monetary incentive for the surgeon to do this type of surgery ... yikes ... and then the explaining how it was done wrong, without the medial angling ... yikes.
Exactly this. I’m a nurse and have been for 15 years. And with my deductible being $5000 and my coinsurance being 30%, I don’t even bother going to my specialist that I need to see. I have an abnormal heart rhythm that I should be seeing a cardiologist for, but I just can’t afford it and I can’t afford the treatment to fix it. my quality of life sucks. I have enough energy to push through three days of 12 hour shifts and the rest of my time is exhausted at home sleeping. I have debilitating depression, anxiety from caring for so many people during Covid and then watching them die. On top of my own health issues that I can’t take care of. What’s the point? If all I do is work and sleep and I have no pleasure in my life. I don’t know how my life would be different but at least I would have a chance at enjoying life if I could get proper medical treatment without having to thinkabout taking out a loan.
My daughter had scoliosis surgery, vertebral body tethering instead of fusion to preserve movement. Procedure was not FDA approved so our insurance did not cover it. We had to sell everything we owned to pay for her surgery. We had to fight tooth and nail to cover hospital stay. I cried every day. I sympathize with Luigi, he’s my hero!! United Healthcare rejects and denies most claims in comparison to other insurance companies. It’s a wake-up call for all insurance companies. Yes, he killed one person but how many lives are lost due to insurance claims that are rejected, denied and delayed.
New York Life also rejected me for life insurance because of pre existing diabetes and they wrote me letter not to make it their letter known to the public. And blue cross blue shield also rejected my request to have free style libre so I don't keep poking my finger as my fingers are all in pain. They said that it's only for those with type 1 and not for type 2. They don't care about the pain I'm going through as I am extra sensitive to poking with needles.
I'll say this: Luigi made more of an impact on the health insurance industry than all of the Occupy Wall Street protests and shenanigans on the financial industrial complex. I hate that it took his extreme actions to have this dialogue and for health administration executives to experience the fear that the sick and their families experienced.
sooooo deep.... especially the point about him being de-monetized only when he speaks about a rich person in power getting killed. super interesting, frightening, and depressing.
@fs5775 , yes, while the murder of the Black man was televised with no intervention from other police to stop the officer from killing him with his knee on his neck. Actually shown to everyone on all TV stations. And, all of the other murders of innocent Black men and women. Nothing would have been done without protests demanding Justice.
Dr. Goobie, My father, an anesthesiologist, told me Exactly what you did. He stressed that "the human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself." There you go.
So HAPPY you are responding to this. Thought exactly of you when this suspect was relating back pain to his severe anxiety - and relating the outcome of his back surgery - thought of you. Thank you for deciding to have your video uploaded without monetization. Your professional opinion is so needed- so important! So grateful for you! One more thing - TH-camrs are now embedding selected ads into their content doing deals directly with advertisers. Think about it!
Speaking of unsuitable ad money - has dr Goobie directly addressed the genocide in Gaza in any video? Or would big bro shut his channel down in a matter of seconds?
Neuroradiologist here, I injured my back in my second year of being an attending due to poor lifting technique. Worst pain ever, and my spine looked perfect except that extrusion at l5 s1. Such a small injury to produce near suicidal pain. Obviously I refused surgery cuz I see all the failed backs and repeat surgeries. Hell no. PT all the way, and despite some repeat injures, I’m about 95% healed after nearly 3 years. I do understand when young people elect for surgery if their job uses their body (laborers, athletes). But yes, it’s a damn shame that people need our level of understanding of the spine and surgery to not be bullied into the most aggressive treatment. Subbed. ✊
Did you do PT for 3 years? What all did you do for 3 years to heal to 95%. How did PT help reverse the need for surgery.. did it correct and reverse the issue or did it just stop the pain. Thank you for your answer in advance.
The USA desperately needs Goobie and Doobie.............I'm hopeful some sponsors start knocking at your door. We all knew this video was coming after the arrest and I'm sure everyone is grateful that you have shared your wisdom.
As a fellow physician, I want to convey how much I appreciate your education on this topic from her expertise as a Neurosurgeon and as an empathetic human being. I understand that your previous career as a spine surgeon is behind you for the moment, but you have invaluable knowledge and expertise as an educator and physician. I hope you find purpose in helping other understand Neurosurgery as well as brain and spinal pathologies. Thank you for what you do and what you share with the world.
Boundless gratitude for you sharing your thoughts, feelings, knowledge, experiences and expertise through these videos of yours. You are undoubtedly helping lots of us heal. May you receive infinitely more than you give to all of us!!
If you ever feel called back to medicine, Vancouver Island could really use your help, nd no insurance companies to listen to or quotas to fill! You have been a beacon of light and hope, since I found your channel about five months ago after taking a stress leave from my position in Public Health. I look forward to every video. Thank you 🙏🏻
I agree 👍 l live on the island and we need a doctor like him. It would be awesome if he could come to Victoria or the island even for part-time work and Vancouver Island is beautiful ❤❤❤
Please don’t stop speaking the truth. The reason I like your channel so much is because you are so honest and authentic and don’t succumb to outside pressures which are so prevalent in our society. We need more people like you who are strong enough to stay true to themselves and their values ❤
Much respect for what you're doing, Dr.! The insight that 'the food going into the body can prevent joints from healing' is a great reminder of how vital nutrition is to overall health. Looking forward to learning more!
It’s hypocritical that Google puts controversial news on their front page but then when TH-camrs make videos about said news they get demonetized and Google takes the profit
It is not a coincidence that your channel blew up a few months ago and you now have a solid audience, Goobie. There is a spiritual alignment between what you know, what you walked away from and your ability to uniquely comment on the UHC killing. I appreciate you and your message so much. So does the Earth and all the sentient beings that live upon her. You are a Bodhisattva for voiceless. Thank you for your observations and teachings. 🪷
This video was sooo helpful in understanding how the medical system works from the perspective of the doctor. The bonuses you get from hospital for "productivity" and understanding that Luigi's situation could have been exacerbated by diet, and the dream situation for healthcare is young people on meds for life.. I learned so much from this video, thank you, and I see why you quit the system. It is in fact deeply morally compromised at this point. Thank god for people like you who, despite financially benefitting from the system, stand up and say NO, it's WRONG without resorting to murdering people. God bless you 🙏
Your explanation of "eat what you kill" surgery is basically my experience with private therapy. When I was helped by the NHS, therapists were on a fixed salary and the therapy was curative & highly effective. They wanted me to heal as soon as possible (& so did I). When I went with a private therapist, they clearly wanted me to be "forever patient". The therapy was ineffective & existed to placate me until the next session. Having experienced both models, I honestly think "psychotherapy" is a dangerous & predatory industry. What they do is archaic malpractice by modern standards.
Many therapists are unhealed and do more harm than good. I have some painful experiences as an Intern. There are many good therapists and also many who should not have a license to practice. It is very difficult to find the correct fit , it takes time. For some people other forms of support, coaching, groups, etc are more beneficial. There are few good therapists today because insurance companies force Brief Therapy. True Therapy requires establishing trust and a good healthy therapeutic relationship.
Yes, but we do have the agency to protest it by eating healthy and exercising, avoiding accessing healthcare whenever we can, and going abroad for care (which is often cheaper and better).
My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. It came back in 2010 and it got really worse September of that year. She ended up in the hospital and her insurance said that she could only stay there for a limited amount of time before they would stop paying. It was just me and my sister dealing with this and trying our best to give her hope and strength. We freaked out because we couldn't afford that out of pocket and she needed care since we both worked full time...... Insurance companies don't care. You pay for a product and they don't have to deliver it to you. Sounds like a scam to me.
The older I get the more I realize how important good health is. When I was younger I took it for granted but now I’m 29 I’m striving to be healthier. And I’m realizing, it takes money to maintain some level of health even. Fresh fruits and vegetables are not cheap.
Somewhere along the way (past decade or two), companies like Whole Foods etc have figured out that healthy food is preventative healthcare so they aligned costs of foods that are cheap everywhere else in the world (fresh foods and veggies) to be more in line with ballooning US healthcare costs... because they can. It's super expensive to shop at Whole Foods for that healthy food, but it's cheaper than U.S. healthcare. Clever US consumers have figured that out too and are willing to pay super high prices for basic healthy items to prevent having to see doctor. Very wacky country.
When the rich rob the poor, its called Business. When the poor fights back, its called violence--Mark Twain..Free Luigi! Millions of people have lost their lives at the hands of United Healthcare..I also do not condone violence, however, I am not weeping over the loss of a NEFARIOUS CEO! Free Luigi!
You can "fight back" without murdering people. That's what Goobie is doing here. I support his approach and not Luigi's approach. A person who deliberately extinguishes the life of another person does not deserve to be free. Also remember, Luigi was not poor.
@@fs5775 I'm just curious, how do you think we can effectively "fight back"? What Goobie is doing is great, but it's not taking any power away from healthcare companies like United. I'm not saying that vigilante justice is the way to go, but I don't think we, as the working class, can take power back peacefully, realistically. We live in a covert oligarchy, and giant corporations like United leverage their wealth to ensure the persistence of our current, broken healthcare system. There is no justice for the thousands of sick or dying people harmed by United per year. Realistically, the justice system is not on our side. Politicians aren't on our side. Despite the decades long push for universal healthcare, our only public option might be axed under the Trump admin. Things are only getting worse. Those in power aren't willing to give up their power. Peaceful protests do very little to impact corporations like United. I think Goobie's content is invaluable when it comes to information and insight, but if you want to challenge the operation of healthcare companies -- this isn't enough. Like I said before, I'm not for vigilante justice, but I do think that this is the closest thing to justice we'll see for a long time. That's why it feels oddly cathartic. Instead of speaking over working class people who are sick of being screwed over, maybe take a moment to understand the public's pain. It's not every day that people cheer for a murder. But people are dying. People are going bankrupt over medical debt. People are the suffering through chronic illnesses without necessary care. I broke my back last year, and I didn't go to the hospital because I simply couldn't pay for it. I now have chronic pain myself. Fuck these sociopathic companies and what they do to people.
Thank you for this video. I have been saying exactly this for a long time. This capitalistic society is preying upon all of us from all sides - from the food we are marketed to the lifestyles we are marketed to 'healthcare' train it all inevitably leads to. The full realization of this is societal collapse and for sure we are headed there, yet most of us are all too distracted by all that glitters to focus on it. My husband is an infectious disease physician who got out of patient care - the final straw was the hospital's threat of a decreasing salary if the RVUs were not met, and since when does ID make money. Like others have said, the current system of profits above actual health is a disgrace to humanity. But really how could it be otherwise in this ever-escalating capitalism.
Thanks for sharing your and your husband’s stories. I’m sorry he experienced that with the rvu demands. It is dehumanizing. I have much respect for Infectious Disease specialists. Some of the most intelligent colleagues I ever worked with.
Thank you very much for making these videos, Goobie. I hope this comments finds you well as I have been on my own personal health journey and have learned of some modern “disconnects” that I hope more people can be made aware of. The first is vision. Many people wear glasses these days, but cranial activity influences eye muscle activations and therefore subtely influences eye shape, meaning that most people have an element of their bad posture baked into their prescription, creating a body-vision disconnect. It can be remedied by doing a refraction exam while standing in a well-lit room. Second is bite. The nervous system expects the bite to be a good reference to use to maintain good cervical spine posture, but braces and jaw underdevelopment are common these days. This signifies molars and canines not being in the “right place” to act as “bumpers” keeping your neck straight, even if the teeth have been forcibly lined up. This can be remedied by a dental orthotic, or “splint”. Third is footwear. Most footwear compromises body mechanics in some way, even if they are stated to be good shoes. The foot needs to be unrestricted and allowed to splay out and articulate on the ground freely with a more “open” and well-built shoe. Being unable to do so perpetuates compensation. Fourth is CO2 tolerance, Buteyko. You can look that one up :) This is all a very brief summary. If you would like to chat more about them, feel free to message me on disc with the same username. I would love for the Postural Restoration Institute’s message to be spread further. Thank you again for everything you do.
Thanks! I cannot begin to thank you for your thought, guidance, empathy, tone and honesty. I'm in health care. Your words today hit home... Fruits/veggies =microbiome =healing. Injustice, perspective, power, steering. Thank you. Please don't stop
I was diagnosed with sacroiliitis and had such bad pain that I would just lay on the floor crying. I couldn't deal with the side effects of the different NSAIDs. I was told the next step would be steroid injections in the spine. Did not do it. Soon after found out about the tainted steroid injections that caused so many to die from infections. Led me to not fully trust any part of healthcare. Many years later I decided to try stopping taking statin. The pain decreased to about a tenth of what it had been. Primary physician was not happy because my cholesterol level was high. He did not believe me about the link between statin and increased pain (also high anxiety). I'm just writing something here to help this video.
I have ankylosing spondylitis which includes sacroilitis, so I feel your pain. One med I was put on due to the emotional stuff from the pain, caused my liver to start failing. I came off that med 4 years ago with no need for it it seems, and just had my first completely healthy liver test. I've avoided anti biotics for 18 months (I would take them if it was life or death, but have avoided them after them being prescribed a few times) because of studies into them affecting mental health and for the first time in my life I'm happy and my health is improving. "Medicine" is shady.
You can address your high cholesterol through dietary changes. See the documentary, "Forks Over Knives". I was having problems with my cholesterol back in 2011 and my doctor was casting about for a med that would reduce cholesterol but not inflame my liver. I saw the documentary in the midst of that, talked with my doctor who agreed to monitor me as I made some dietary changes and over the course of about 6 months with those changes my cholesterol normalized. Measurable improvement was detected in the bloodwork in just a 4 weeks or so. My palate slowly changed and I have enjoyed the food I eat more post change than I did pre change. Good luck with your cholesterol and with your back.
If there ever was a perfect video topic for you to cover, it would be this. Someone who had spine surgery, chronic pain that wasn’t solved by the surgery, and how his alleged actions could point to signs of societal collapse due to anger over wealth inequality and abuse of power. You are so very very careful and deliberate in the words you choose, so it is very very interesting that your last video around this was de-monetized because according to TH-cam “advertisers wouldn’t feel ok placing their ads on this topic of video”.
I’ve had two failed L5/S1 microdiscectomies in the last year and a half. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this type of back pain. It is completely life altering.
@adamnugent2137 thank you and I do live with pain I take gabapentin to relax my nerves...let's move on and enjoy life...God Bless and happy holidays again. ✨️
What Luigi said in his manifesto titled "The Allopathic Complex & its consequences" is the most based stuff I've heard in a while. That kid is not troubled. Our society is
I never send $ on YT… but hearing that you were demonetized because of the content of a most thoughtful and balanced video contemplation, has convinced me to contribute. Many thanks for your clarity and balanced viewpoint.
Thank you for bringing awareness and continuing the conversation about the broken health are system. So difficult looking at Luigi's surgery with plate screws, my child had scoliosis and the doctor who operated tried to do a newer procedure, going into the side, she was in a long all day surgery at the age of 10, the procedure didn't work and rods were in near her lungs, they went in and cut remove rods, and month after went back in to do original procedure on back, she was left with severe scarring, and come to find out the old doctor had early signs of Parkinson. I was furios, her dad wouldn't allow me to sue, and he spoke of the high bills and cost
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY! You are VERY MUCH NEEDED AND APPRECIATED! Knowledge is Power! I PRAY that Luigi’s attorneys know of your channel whereby, they can be exposed to your priceless knowledge! God bless you! Much love and support!❤️🙏🏽
I have Multiple myeloma, cancer in the blood. My left rib cage used to hurt so bad. My second Oncologist did a bone marrow exam. That's how he found my cancer. Then finally insurance approved the MRI. They found out my T10,T11. Had no cushion between the vertebra. That's why i was in so much pain. I need my vertebra to be fuse. Cement like put in my disk. That took away my lower back pain 100%. Then my cancer tumor was in my tail bone. They couldn't do surgery o radiation. I had to do several rounds of chemo, until i had bone marrow transplant 5 monts later. So,for me that surgery in my back, save my life. Otherwise i would've been in a wheelchair, or dead if i had not had the chemo or the bone marrow transplant. I truly respect your opinion and i admire your choices, good luck.
I have been listening to you almost from the beginning. I can clearly see that you get your mental and physical strength back. Thanks for a great break down of this case. I appreciated it a lot. your voice is so important and educational to many voiceless people.God Bless you and God Bless America.
Thank you for talking about these subjects. I've worked in every side of this game and we need to talk openly about just how bad it is to try to make it good again.
I'm so glad I never had a fusion. When I lived in the US my Dr told me about numerous patients who went to Stenum Hospital in Germany where they do disc replacement as opposed to fusions as you have much better mobility. So I went to Germany and had a very successful cervical and lumbar disc replacement in the one operation. Entering through the front. The cost with airfare, 1 week in Hospital with a daily masseuse and 1 week in the Hilton Hotel with Masseuse coming every other day was cheaper than it would have been in the US. Many international patients go there.
Dear Dr Goobie, appreciate your openness on issues that matter and sharing it. Hope you would consider creating same channels in other platforms besides youtube. May you and family be well, safe and happy always.
Australian - seeing this stuff and honestly it makes me upset at how this stuff is a “conspiracy”. It’s a fact that governments are a business, and don’t care about people. Trust your gut and don’t pay attention to the hate.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's valuable to the greater community to have all voices and perspectives heard and you help move the conversation.
Thank you for your honest and informed assessment of this mans’s physical struggles. I feel that the medical industry is not upfront about the outcomes that actually occur from these procedures. By continuing to tell patients they will be fine after surgery they are practicing unethically.
I am glad you commented about this. Pain is a terrible thing in what it does to human bodies. While it lets the body know there is a issue. Over time it may be debilitating and lead to mental health crisis in some. Clearly, this man who did this has mental health issues. Money and medicine is a unhealthy mix. Healthcare is a basic human right. One day AI and robots will replace physicians. In my humbke opinion. As the human body is fixed mix of fluids tissues and organic material. This will lead to a mass reduction in physicians or the need for their skills. For example, a friend is a cardiac surgeon using robots to install devices in hearts, artieries, etc. I mean likely within the next 15 years. So what are all these physicians going to do? You are ahead of the curve, Goodie. I'm glad you got out and chose another path.
Very informative video. I have lived with congenital spondylosthesis, a grade 1 L5 slip on S1, all my life. Im so greatfull that it is fused on its own. In fact, my back is much better now that im middle-aged than when I was in high school. I never was much of a meat eater, couldn't tolerate alcohol or cigarettes. Ive always gone to the gym and lifted and did cardio. Lately, im doing sauna. Im amazed how the Healthcare system is designed to profit rather than to help people heal. Its really a disgrace to humanity.
I am so happy I follow your journey from the beginnings. I also left my corporate job to try and escape the matrix a bit. Your videos are reassuring that I made the right decision. My consciousness is a bit more at ease knowing I don’t sell my soul and time to something completely heartless and void. This timeline you found yourself on is right were you should be in this moment
Side bar. I am trying your 5 fruits a day advice. It’s been a month and man is my body going through changes. Good changes. Thanks for your knowledge and channel. Thank you so much.
There is no coincidence. It is the flow of things. You are a back surgeon who got out of the unfair system and started a TH-cam channel on the side which is informative. On the other hand this gentleman was suffering from that same pain you used to cure. It would have made total sense for us to have Luigi and you duke it out. Sadly we can’t hear his side of the story now. Thank you for the video again. You are an awesome hero for me. Please don’t let TH-cam bully you. We are here for you.
Growing up during the Korean War I would respectfully suggest that smoking was a prime driver in the blockages. Our food at that time was relatively clean.
There is self sensorship in the catholic school system. If you say too much, they target your kid, affect their future. Horrible. Countdown to the end. Banking on karma.
Jury nullification is both valid and possible in New York City, as it is throughout the United States. This inherent power of the jury allows jurors to render a “not guilty” verdict, even when evidence proves the defendant’s guilt, if they believe the law is unjust or improperly applied. While courts discourage explicitly instructing jurors about this power, once a jury delivers a “not guilty” verdict, it is final and cannot be overturned or appealed due to constitutional protections against double jeopardy. In practice, jurors in New York are not informed of their right to nullify, and judges or attorneys are prohibited from encouraging it. Additionally, potential jurors who openly express disagreement with the law during jury selection may be excluded. Despite these limitations, nullification remains a valid option in any criminal case, including serious charges like murder, as jurors are not required to justify their verdicts and may base them on personal beliefs or moral objections. While rare, jury nullification in murder cases is possible and legally binding. It relies entirely on jurors’ willingness to exercise their conscience in defiance of the evidence and the court’s instructions.
Your perspectives are very precious and priceless to me, and a whole lot ordinary people like me, I believe. You’ve been on the inside of the medical care industry, which is so high and mighty for an ordinary person like me. Thank you so much for your videos and always looking forward to seeing you in new videos!
It’s good to hear from you on this! I had a really painful lombar injury from a hit and fall at 29. I did everything the physiotherapist said to do. I also strengthened my core and listend to my body. I prayed. Noticed a huge difference by month 4 and by 1 year I was 100%. Amazed at the body
Thanks for taking the time to educate me about surgeries that are not in the patient’s best interest. You have helped my family to become much better at choosing whole food.
I am impressed with the humanity of this doctor. Not sure how you managed to preserve that quality where so many doctors fail, but congratulations on escaping the medical industry intact, sir. Thank you for your service. And for your courage. Keep up the great work! You'll have a million subscribers before you know it. We love you.
I'm glad you are talking about this, and the nutrition aspect of it all. My Mother was a prevention minded RN, and she quit nursing because of hospital protocols. This was 70 years ago. We did eat lots of veggies and some meat, because we lived on a big farm. Nowadays, I avoid any veggies from regular grocery chains, even organic. I buy some meat from a local farmer who has all of his animals out on good pasture. Regenerative or biodynamic are my choices for healthy sources. Sprouting is probably the best. You are your own doctor, and your food is your medicine. Just know the source.
Thanks for speaking on this. I am the same age as this guy and I really feel for him. I’ve lived with chronic illness for over a decade now and had to give up pretty much everything for it. When it feels like you have nothing left to lose, you will grasp at straws. Tragic that the failed back surgery likely led to this situation. He threw his life away on this for a reason - in capitalism if you cannot work you essentially have a death sentence. I’m looking at getting on disability right now, not only will it likely take years to get on I don’t even qualify for SSDI because I got sick before I could start working, so I have no work credits. What little could potentially get is not enough to live on, so I have to live off charity from family for the rest of my life on top of debilitating pain every day. I can’t be out of bed much at all because exertion worsens it. Everything I try to do is punished by my body and honestly I do not want to live like this for 60+ years, but there isn’t any treatment barely any research done so I don’t even get a straw to grasp at like back surgery.
Thank you Doobie! You are shedding a light on the injustice in our country in general. Just a side note: I have degenerative disc disease. I saw an orthopedic doctor about ten years ago, and of course, surgery was the answer. I said no thank you and never went back. I found a wonderful chiropractor that helped me immensely. Thank you, thank you, thank you for speaking the truth.
I broke my hand many years ago, a common boxer's fracture. The surgeon told me, be absolutely sure you go to physical therapy. If you don't work it asap you will lose mobility, and you will not want to do the stuff on your own. My physical therapy was of course denied. I did some of the stuff alone. I got most of the mobility back, but it took years.
Dr Goobie, thank you for your wonderful channel. Thank you for educating us about spine surgery and the HC system and the atrocities of the powerful corporate state that has diminished our humanity. Just as you have touched on in some of your videos, You must love yourself and the people in your life. The answer to the meaning of life isn't money and power, it's love, sympathy and empathy. It's always been the answer and will be the only thing that will change the almost certain demise of our society and our planet. I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors..❤

I am so sorry.

Thank you for being the one of very few people that sheds light on the catastrophic reality of Americans. Most days I wake up with debilitating depression while combatting thoughts about how my poor quality of life seems inescapable due to all of the topics you brought up in this video. The unhealthy food marketing, greedy insurance corporations, physician quotas, big Pharma, and the unrelenting pressure to always consume more... it's tiring. I need to hear the truth about what's going to help me heal physically and mentally. Thank you for being the one person that's not influenced by power and money.
Thank you for your gift ❤️
the part about the monetary incentive for the surgeon to do this type of surgery ... yikes ... and then the explaining how it was done wrong, without the medial angling ... yikes.
Exactly this. I’m a nurse and have been for 15 years. And with my deductible being $5000 and my coinsurance being 30%, I don’t even bother going to my specialist that I need to see. I have an abnormal heart rhythm that I should be seeing a cardiologist for, but I just can’t afford it and I can’t afford the treatment to fix it. my quality of life sucks. I have enough energy to push through three days of 12 hour shifts and the rest of my time is exhausted at home sleeping. I have debilitating depression, anxiety from caring for so many people during Covid and then watching them die. On top of my own health issues that I can’t take care of. What’s the point? If all I do is work and sleep and I have no pleasure in my life. I don’t know how my life would be different but at least I would have a chance at enjoying life if I could get proper medical treatment without having to thinkabout taking out a loan.
My daughter had scoliosis surgery, vertebral body tethering instead of fusion to preserve movement. Procedure was not FDA approved so our insurance did not cover it. We had to sell everything we owned to pay for her surgery. We had to fight tooth and nail to cover hospital stay. I cried every day. I sympathize with Luigi, he’s my hero!! United Healthcare rejects and denies most claims in comparison to other insurance companies. It’s a wake-up call for all insurance companies. Yes, he killed one person but how many lives are lost due to insurance claims that are rejected, denied and delayed.
So sorry for what you went through. You are not alone in feeling this way
A murderer is never a "hero"... not saying the healthcare CEO was a good man, he probably wasn't. But he didn't deserve to be murdered.
New York Life also rejected me for life insurance because of pre existing diabetes and they wrote me letter not to make it their letter known to the public. And blue cross blue shield also rejected my request to have free style libre so I don't keep poking my finger as my fingers are all in pain. They said that it's only for those with type 1 and not for type 2. They don't care about the pain I'm going through as I am extra sensitive to poking with needles.
I'll say this: Luigi made more of an impact on the health insurance industry than all of the Occupy Wall Street protests and shenanigans on the financial industrial complex. I hate that it took his extreme actions to have this dialogue and for health administration executives to experience the fear that the sick and their families experienced.
Dr. Goobie, you're the PERFECT person to address the Luigi situation! Thank you! This video is so DEEP.
@@koohanpaik-mander7567 It's the intersection of two very relevant, topical, issues.
sooooo deep.... especially the point about him being de-monetized only when he speaks about a rich person in power getting killed. super interesting, frightening, and depressing.
Agreed!
@fs5775 , yes, while the murder of the Black man was televised with no intervention from other police to stop the officer from killing him with his knee on his neck. Actually shown to everyone on all TV stations. And, all of the other murders of innocent Black men and women. Nothing would have been done without protests demanding Justice.
Dr. Goobie, My father, an anesthesiologist, told me Exactly what you did. He stressed that "the human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself." There you go.
@incognito & Father....U are correct, Much Appreciated & Take Care!
So HAPPY you are responding to this. Thought exactly of you when this suspect was relating back pain to his severe anxiety - and relating the outcome of his back surgery - thought of you. Thank you for deciding to have your video uploaded without monetization. Your professional opinion is so needed- so important! So grateful for you! One more thing - TH-camrs are now embedding selected ads into their content doing deals directly with advertisers. Think about it!
#FreeLuigiMangione
It's so good to hear him responding to this.
Thought of goobie immediately too.. was hoping he would make this video ❤️🔥
Speaking of unsuitable ad money - has dr Goobie directly addressed the genocide in Gaza in any video? Or would big bro shut his channel down in a matter of seconds?
Man you speaked for me
Neuroradiologist here, I injured my back in my second year of being an attending due to poor lifting technique. Worst pain ever, and my spine looked perfect except that extrusion at l5 s1. Such a small injury to produce near suicidal pain. Obviously I refused surgery cuz I see all the failed backs and repeat surgeries. Hell no. PT all the way, and despite some repeat injures, I’m about 95% healed after nearly 3 years. I do understand when young people elect for surgery if their job uses their body (laborers, athletes). But yes, it’s a damn shame that people need our level of understanding of the spine and surgery to not be bullied into the most aggressive treatment.
Subbed. ✊
Inversion table, swimming, yoga, THC.
Did you do PT for 3 years? What all did you do for 3 years to heal to 95%. How did PT help reverse the need for surgery.. did it correct and reverse the issue or did it just stop the pain. Thank you for your answer in advance.
An honest doctor’s opinion is highly regarded! ❤
Honest words from an honest doctor
Dr., keep spreading the truth as you see it. The world needs more courageous voices like yours.
The USA desperately needs Goobie and Doobie.............I'm hopeful some sponsors start knocking at your door. We all knew this video was coming after the arrest and I'm sure everyone is grateful that you have shared your wisdom.
I'm sure he's had lots of sponsors hit him up.
Thanks! Another excellent video. Trying to help you avoid the demonetization effort from TH-cam. Only blessings for good!
Thank you for your gift ❤️
💖
This is why we love you, Goobie. We love what you stand for.
authenticity and moral goodness
As a fellow physician, I want to convey how much I appreciate your education on this topic from her expertise as a Neurosurgeon and as an empathetic human being. I understand that your previous career as a spine surgeon is behind you for the moment, but you have invaluable knowledge and expertise as an educator and physician. I hope you find purpose in helping other understand Neurosurgery as well as brain and spinal pathologies. Thank you for what you do and what you share with the world.
Boundless gratitude for you sharing your thoughts, feelings, knowledge, experiences and expertise through these videos of yours. You are undoubtedly helping lots of us heal. May you receive infinitely more than you give to all of us!!
Excellent content! Thank you for talking about this issue
If you ever feel called back to medicine, Vancouver Island could really use your help, nd no insurance companies to listen to or quotas to fill!
You have been a beacon of light and hope, since I found your channel about five months ago after taking a stress leave from my position in Public Health. I look forward to every video. Thank you 🙏🏻
I agree 👍 l live on the island and we need a doctor like him. It would be awesome if he could come to Victoria or the island even for part-time work and Vancouver Island is beautiful ❤❤❤
Make sure you like this video and comment so the algorithm can't hide it as easily
Agree
👍👍👍
Liking & sharing!
This country is too messed up to be fixed.
Please don’t stop speaking the truth. The reason I like your channel so much is because you are so honest and authentic and don’t succumb to outside pressures which are so prevalent in our society. We need more people like you who are strong enough to stay true to themselves and their values ❤
Much respect for what you're doing, Dr.! The insight that 'the food going into the body can prevent joints from healing' is a great reminder of how vital nutrition is to overall health. Looking forward to learning more!
It’s hypocritical that Google puts controversial news on their front page but then when TH-camrs make videos about said news they get demonetized and Google takes the profit
This should be on Frontline and you are the perfect beautiful person to tell the story.
It is not a coincidence that your channel blew up a few months ago and you now have a solid audience, Goobie. There is a spiritual alignment between what you know, what you walked away from and your ability to uniquely comment on the UHC killing. I appreciate you and your message so much. So does the Earth and all the sentient beings that live upon her. You are a Bodhisattva for voiceless. Thank you for your observations and teachings. 🪷
spiritual alignment or he's part of a vast conspiracy lol ... either way it's interesting
@@fs5775 what is he conspiring?
¡Gracias!
This video was sooo helpful in understanding how the medical system works from the perspective of the doctor. The bonuses you get from hospital for "productivity" and understanding that Luigi's situation could have been exacerbated by diet, and the dream situation for healthcare is young people on meds for life.. I learned so much from this video, thank you, and I see why you quit the system. It is in fact deeply morally compromised at this point. Thank god for people like you who, despite financially benefitting from the system, stand up and say NO, it's WRONG without resorting to murdering people. God bless you 🙏
Thanks
Your explanation of "eat what you kill" surgery is basically my experience with private therapy.
When I was helped by the NHS, therapists were on a fixed salary and the therapy was curative & highly effective. They wanted me to heal as soon as possible (& so did I).
When I went with a private therapist, they clearly wanted me to be "forever patient". The therapy was ineffective & existed to placate me until the next session.
Having experienced both models, I honestly think "psychotherapy" is a dangerous & predatory industry. What they do is archaic malpractice by modern standards.
Agree ❤
Amen!!!!!
Many therapists are unhealed and do more harm than good. I have some painful experiences as an Intern. There are many good therapists and also many who should not have a license to practice. It is very difficult to find the correct fit , it takes time. For some people other forms of support, coaching, groups, etc are more beneficial. There are few good therapists today because insurance companies force Brief Therapy. True Therapy requires establishing trust and a good healthy therapeutic relationship.
spot on..I just fired my private therapist and use ChatGPT as my 24/7 soul massager...try it!
You are a blessing to the world.
Every aspect of this country has turned into a money grab. It’s sickening. Like I’ve always said, we’re on our own.
TRUE
Yes, but we do have the agency to protest it by eating healthy and exercising, avoiding accessing healthcare whenever we can, and going abroad for care (which is often cheaper and better).
Exactly!
My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. It came back in 2010 and it got really worse September of that year. She ended up in the hospital and her insurance said that she could only stay there for a limited amount of time before they would stop paying. It was just me and my sister dealing with this and trying our best to give her hope and strength. We freaked out because we couldn't afford that out of pocket and she needed care since we both worked full time...... Insurance companies don't care. You pay for a product and they don't have to deliver it to you. Sounds like a scam to me.
So what happen to your mom afterward when the insurance company refused to pay?
💕💕💕💕💕
The older I get the more I realize how important good health is. When I was younger I took it for granted but now I’m 29 I’m striving to be healthier. And I’m realizing, it takes money to maintain some level of health even. Fresh fruits and vegetables are not cheap.
I stopped buying health insurance and spend the money on organic food instead. They will delay and deny coverage anyway, so why bother
Somewhere along the way (past decade or two), companies like Whole Foods etc have figured out that healthy food is preventative healthcare so they aligned costs of foods that are cheap everywhere else in the world (fresh foods and veggies) to be more in line with ballooning US healthcare costs... because they can. It's super expensive to shop at Whole Foods for that healthy food, but it's cheaper than U.S. healthcare. Clever US consumers have figured that out too and are willing to pay super high prices for basic healthy items to prevent having to see doctor. Very wacky country.
And, Organic is Best.
@fs5775 Farms and Farmers .markets are good and growing your own is Best.
So happy that you decided to speak about everything here. It's important to have these conversations. Thank you for sharing
When the rich rob the poor, its called Business. When the poor fights back, its called violence--Mark Twain..Free Luigi! Millions of people have lost their lives at the hands of United Healthcare..I also do not condone violence, however, I am not weeping over the loss of a NEFARIOUS CEO! Free Luigi!
What is violence UHC denying care is a form of violence when a person dies directly from the denial of care.
@@pattytimon9050 ✔️
You can "fight back" without murdering people. That's what Goobie is doing here. I support his approach and not Luigi's approach. A person who deliberately extinguishes the life of another person does not deserve to be free. Also remember, Luigi was not poor.
@fs5775 Why is it OK for people to extinguish the lives of lots of animals every day and go free?
@@fs5775 I'm just curious, how do you think we can effectively "fight back"?
What Goobie is doing is great, but it's not taking any power away from healthcare companies like United. I'm not saying that vigilante justice is the way to go, but I don't think we, as the working class, can take power back peacefully, realistically. We live in a covert oligarchy, and giant corporations like United leverage their wealth to ensure the persistence of our current, broken healthcare system. There is no justice for the thousands of sick or dying people harmed by United per year. Realistically, the justice system is not on our side. Politicians aren't on our side. Despite the decades long push for universal healthcare, our only public option might be axed under the Trump admin. Things are only getting worse. Those in power aren't willing to give up their power. Peaceful protests do very little to impact corporations like United.
I think Goobie's content is invaluable when it comes to information and insight, but if you want to challenge the operation of healthcare companies -- this isn't enough. Like I said before, I'm not for vigilante justice, but I do think that this is the closest thing to justice we'll see for a long time. That's why it feels oddly cathartic.
Instead of speaking over working class people who are sick of being screwed over, maybe take a moment to understand the public's pain. It's not every day that people cheer for a murder. But people are dying. People are going bankrupt over medical debt. People are the suffering through chronic illnesses without necessary care. I broke my back last year, and I didn't go to the hospital because I simply couldn't pay for it. I now have chronic pain myself. Fuck these sociopathic companies and what they do to people.
Thank you for this video. I have been saying exactly this for a long time. This capitalistic society is preying upon all of us from all sides - from the food we are marketed to the lifestyles we are marketed to 'healthcare' train it all inevitably leads to. The full realization of this is societal collapse and for sure we are headed there, yet most of us are all too distracted by all that glitters to focus on it. My husband is an infectious disease physician who got out of patient care - the final straw was the hospital's threat of a decreasing salary if the RVUs were not met, and since when does ID make money. Like others have said, the current system of profits above actual health is a disgrace to humanity. But really how could it be otherwise in this ever-escalating capitalism.
Thanks for sharing your and your husband’s stories. I’m sorry he experienced that with the rvu demands. It is dehumanizing. I have much respect for Infectious Disease specialists. Some of the most intelligent colleagues I ever worked with.
Thank you very much for making these videos, Goobie. I hope this comments finds you well as I have been on my own personal health journey and have learned of some modern “disconnects” that I hope more people can be made aware of.
The first is vision. Many people wear glasses these days, but cranial activity influences eye muscle activations and therefore subtely influences eye shape, meaning that most people have an element of their bad posture baked into their prescription, creating a body-vision disconnect. It can be remedied by doing a refraction exam while standing in a well-lit room.
Second is bite. The nervous system expects the bite to be a good reference to use to maintain good cervical spine posture, but braces and jaw underdevelopment are common these days. This signifies molars and canines not being in the “right place” to act as “bumpers” keeping your neck straight, even if the teeth have been forcibly lined up. This can be remedied by a dental orthotic, or “splint”.
Third is footwear. Most footwear compromises body mechanics in some way, even if they are stated to be good shoes. The foot needs to be unrestricted and allowed to splay out and articulate on the ground freely with a more “open” and well-built shoe. Being unable to do so perpetuates compensation.
Fourth is CO2 tolerance, Buteyko. You can look that one up :)
This is all a very brief summary. If you would like to chat more about them, feel free to message me on disc with the same username. I would love for the Postural Restoration Institute’s message to be spread further.
Thank you again for everything you do.
I just want to say thank you. You inspire so much.
Thanks! I cannot begin to thank you for your thought, guidance, empathy, tone and honesty. I'm in health care. Your words today hit home... Fruits/veggies =microbiome =healing. Injustice, perspective, power, steering. Thank you. Please don't stop
I was diagnosed with sacroiliitis and had such bad pain that I would just lay on the floor crying. I couldn't deal with the side effects of the different NSAIDs. I was told the next step would be steroid injections in the spine. Did not do it. Soon after found out about the tainted steroid injections that caused so many to die from infections. Led me to not fully trust any part of healthcare. Many years later I decided to try stopping taking statin. The pain decreased to about a tenth of what it had been. Primary physician was not happy because my cholesterol level was high. He did not believe me about the link between statin and increased pain (also high anxiety). I'm just writing something here to help this video.
I have ankylosing spondylitis which includes sacroilitis, so I feel your pain. One med I was put on due to the emotional stuff from the pain, caused my liver to start failing. I came off that med 4 years ago with no need for it it seems, and just had my first completely healthy liver test. I've avoided anti biotics for 18 months (I would take them if it was life or death, but have avoided them after them being prescribed a few times) because of studies into them affecting mental health and for the first time in my life I'm happy and my health is improving. "Medicine" is shady.
You can address your high cholesterol through dietary changes. See the documentary, "Forks Over Knives". I was having problems with my cholesterol back in 2011 and my doctor was casting about for a med that would reduce cholesterol but not inflame my liver. I saw the documentary in the midst of that, talked with my doctor who agreed to monitor me as I made some dietary changes and over the course of about 6 months with those changes my cholesterol normalized. Measurable improvement was detected in the bloodwork in just a 4 weeks or so. My palate slowly changed and I have enjoyed the food I eat more post change than I did pre change.
Good luck with your cholesterol and with your back.
I’m glad you are here Dr Goobie.✌️❤️
We all are glad you’re here Dr. Goobie💕💕💕
If there ever was a perfect video topic for you to cover, it would be this. Someone who had spine surgery, chronic pain that wasn’t solved by the surgery, and how his alleged actions could point to signs of societal collapse due to anger over wealth inequality and abuse of power. You are so very very careful and deliberate in the words you choose, so it is very very interesting that your last video around this was de-monetized because according to TH-cam “advertisers wouldn’t feel ok placing their ads on this topic of video”.
Keep that brilliant mind churning. You're speaking on ideas unheard.
Sparking new dialogs, making positive change 🫡
I’ve had two failed L5/S1 microdiscectomies in the last year and a half. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this type of back pain. It is completely life altering.
#FreeLuigiMangione
this is a reason why many people are opting out of surgery for back problems.
I found a good back surgeon I did. I still have back pain but I deal with it...happy holidays to you all.
@@nsafadi54 glad to hear ur positive experience. I have chronic low back problems over 10 years. happy holidays To u and ur family too

What Luigi said in his manifesto titled "The Allopathic Complex & its consequences" is the most based stuff I've heard in a while. That kid is not troubled. Our society is
I never send $ on YT… but hearing that you were demonetized because of the content of a most thoughtful and balanced video contemplation, has convinced me to contribute. Many thanks for your clarity and balanced viewpoint.
Thank you for bringing awareness and continuing the conversation about the broken health are system. So difficult looking at Luigi's surgery with plate screws, my child had scoliosis and the doctor who operated tried to do a newer procedure, going into the side, she was in a long all day surgery at the age of 10, the procedure didn't work and rods were in near her lungs, they went in and cut remove rods, and month after went back in to do original procedure on back, she was left with severe scarring, and come to find out the old doctor had early signs of Parkinson. I was furios, her dad wouldn't allow me to sue, and he spoke of the high bills and cost
I am so sad reading that
You are the voice to speak of this,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY! You are VERY MUCH NEEDED AND APPRECIATED! Knowledge is Power! I PRAY that Luigi’s attorneys know of your channel whereby, they can be exposed to your priceless knowledge! God bless you! Much love and support!❤️🙏🏽
I have Multiple myeloma, cancer in the blood. My left rib cage used to hurt so bad. My second Oncologist did a bone marrow exam. That's how he found my cancer. Then finally insurance approved the MRI. They found out my T10,T11. Had no cushion between the vertebra. That's why i was in so much pain. I need my vertebra to be fuse. Cement like put in my disk. That took away my lower back pain 100%. Then my cancer tumor was in my tail bone. They couldn't do surgery o radiation. I had to do several rounds of chemo, until i had bone marrow transplant 5 monts later.
So,for me that surgery in my back, save my life. Otherwise i would've been in a wheelchair, or dead if i had not had the chemo or the bone marrow transplant.
I truly respect your opinion and i admire your choices, good luck.
Thanks for sharing about your illness, it’s amazing what people do to live and I would do the same. I wish you all the best in your recovery!
Good luck in your healing ❤️🩹 I’m glad the cement injection helped you feel better
Keep being you Dr.Goobie, we need people like you in our society
Understanding is not justifying...very informative from a real expert!
I'm so glad that you are covering this. I came here to ask you to give us your thoughts about it. I'm so glad you are covering it.
❤️

Same here. Just came to checkthat he did a video or not then yes he did
I have been listening to you almost from the beginning. I can clearly see that you get your mental and physical strength back. Thanks for a great break down of this case. I appreciated it a lot.
your voice is so important and educational to many voiceless people.God Bless you and God Bless America.
Thanks for sharing your observation and thoughts ❤️✌️
God bless you for paying attention to his well being
Thanks for commenting on this situation. Chronic pain can really change people entirely. Seems to be what happened with this kid.
May the goodness be always with you 🙏
Thanks for your insightful videos.
In US, healthcare and education systems are fully broken 😢
Thank you so much for educating us on these medical problems. Please up your security. You’re a gem who we want to keep.
Thank you Dr. Goobie. Thank you for being here. Thank you for speaking with us. Thank you for sharing with us... ❤
Thanks! Just a little in case the Tube is doing their 💩🐂.
Thank you for your gift ❤️
I could listen to your voice all day - so calm and measured and unafraid to speak the truth. I respect you and thank you for being here.
Thank you so much for discussing these issues openly and honestly.
Thank you for talking about these subjects. I've worked in every side of this game and we need to talk openly about just how bad it is to try to make it good again.
I'm so glad I never had a fusion. When I lived in the US my Dr told me about numerous patients who went to Stenum Hospital in Germany where they do disc replacement as opposed to fusions as you have much better mobility. So I went to Germany and had a very successful cervical and lumbar disc replacement in the one operation. Entering through the front. The cost with airfare, 1 week in Hospital with a daily masseuse and 1 week in the Hilton Hotel with Masseuse coming every other day was cheaper than it would have been in the US. Many international patients go there.
that is eye-opening
Dear Dr Goobie, appreciate your openness on issues that matter and sharing it. Hope you would consider creating same channels in other platforms besides youtube. May you and family be well, safe and happy always.
Australian - seeing this stuff and honestly it makes me upset at how this stuff is a “conspiracy”. It’s a fact that governments are a business, and don’t care about people. Trust your gut and don’t pay attention to the hate.
First ever yt donation btw
Thanks!
Thank you for your gift ❤️
Goobie, this is truthful honest needed information. So grateful. ❤
I love your calm demeanor and spirit. It is so soothing, making the insight you share, easy to receive.
I have really been enjoying your perspective, background and journey. I can't think of another TH-cam that I would want to spend an hour listening to.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's valuable to the greater community to have all voices and perspectives heard and you help move the conversation.
Thank you for your honest and informed assessment of this mans’s physical struggles. I feel that the medical industry is not upfront about the outcomes that actually occur from these procedures. By continuing to tell patients they will be fine after surgery they are practicing unethically.
I am glad you commented about this. Pain is a terrible thing in what it does to human bodies. While it lets the body know there is a issue. Over time it may be debilitating and lead to mental health crisis in some. Clearly, this man who did this has mental health issues. Money and medicine is a unhealthy mix. Healthcare is a basic human right. One day AI and robots will replace physicians. In my humbke opinion. As the human body is fixed mix of fluids tissues and organic material.
This will lead to a mass reduction in physicians or the need for their skills. For example, a friend is a cardiac surgeon using robots to install devices in hearts, artieries, etc. I mean likely within the next 15 years. So what are all these physicians going to do?
You are ahead of the curve, Goodie. I'm glad you got out and chose another path.
Very informative video. I have lived with congenital spondylosthesis, a grade 1 L5 slip on S1, all my life. Im so greatfull that it is fused on its own. In fact, my back is much better now that im middle-aged than when I was in high school. I never was much of a meat eater, couldn't tolerate alcohol or cigarettes. Ive always gone to the gym and lifted and did cardio. Lately, im doing sauna. Im amazed how the Healthcare system is designed to profit rather than to help people heal. Its really a disgrace to humanity.
Thank you for giving us hope that the pain can improve. It’s so hard find hope when the pain is so bad.
I've been waiting for your thoughts on this!! Keen to hear them. Good morning from Australia!
I am so happy I follow your journey from the beginnings. I also left my corporate job to try and escape the matrix a bit.
Your videos are reassuring that I made the right decision. My consciousness is a bit more at ease knowing I don’t sell my soul and time to something completely heartless and void.
This timeline you found yourself on is right were you should be in this moment
💖💖💖
Thought of you the minute I heard the suspect had suffered from back pain. Glad you are sharing your thoughts.
Side bar. I am trying your 5 fruits a day advice. It’s been a month and man is my body going through changes. Good changes. Thanks for your knowledge and channel. Thank you so much.
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing this.
There is no coincidence. It is the flow of things. You are a back surgeon who got out of the unfair system and started a TH-cam channel on the side which is informative.
On the other hand this gentleman was suffering from that same pain you used to cure. It would have made total sense for us to have Luigi and you duke it out. Sadly we can’t hear his side of the story now.
Thank you for the video again. You are an awesome hero for me. Please don’t let TH-cam bully you. We are here for you.
Growing up during the Korean War I would respectfully suggest that smoking was a prime driver in the blockages. Our food at that time was relatively clean.
This one is personal to those who are suffering. You are in a un ique position to give great insight. Thanks.
I found it profound at the end of your last video when you acknowledged the self-censorship that is forced upon society by corporations and oligarchs
Self-censorship is not forced just...."nudged" which makes it insidious
There is self sensorship in the catholic school system. If you say too much, they target your kid, affect their future. Horrible. Countdown to the end. Banking on karma.

Looking forward to the additional discussions on the topic of evil.
Jury nullification is both valid and possible in New York City, as it is throughout the United States. This inherent power of the jury allows jurors to render a “not guilty” verdict, even when evidence proves the defendant’s guilt, if they believe the law is unjust or improperly applied. While courts discourage explicitly instructing jurors about this power, once a jury delivers a “not guilty” verdict, it is final and cannot be overturned or appealed due to constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
In practice, jurors in New York are not informed of their right to nullify, and judges or attorneys are prohibited from encouraging it. Additionally, potential jurors who openly express disagreement with the law during jury selection may be excluded. Despite these limitations, nullification remains a valid option in any criminal case, including serious charges like murder, as jurors are not required to justify their verdicts and may base them on personal beliefs or moral objections.
While rare, jury nullification in murder cases is possible and legally binding. It relies entirely on jurors’ willingness to exercise their conscience in defiance of the evidence and the court’s instructions.
For example, OJ Simpson. I’m willing to bet there will high probability that there be “not guilty” verdict for this trial in nyc
Well written and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing this information.
Your perspectives are very precious and priceless to me, and a whole lot ordinary people like me, I believe. You’ve been on the inside of the medical care industry, which is so high and mighty for an ordinary person like me.
Thank you so much for your videos and always looking forward to seeing you in new videos!
Great video throughout! Thank you for bringing so many points to light!!
It’s good to hear from you on this! I had a really painful lombar injury from a hit and fall at 29. I did everything the physiotherapist said to do. I also strengthened my core and listend to my body. I prayed. Noticed a huge difference by month 4 and by 1 year I was 100%. Amazed at the body
Thanks for taking the time to educate me about surgeries that are not in the patient’s best interest. You have helped my family to become much better at choosing whole food.
Thank you so much for sharing your opinions and thoughts!
Healthcare costs are another factor of the broken system. I got bloodwork today, and the charge to my insurance was $1200.
I am impressed with the humanity of this doctor. Not sure how you managed to preserve that quality where so many doctors fail, but congratulations on escaping the medical industry intact, sir. Thank you for your service. And for your courage. Keep up the great work! You'll have a million subscribers before you know it. We love you.
This confirms why a Multicare doctor gave me a type of surgery I did not need.
I'm glad you are talking about this, and the nutrition aspect of it all. My Mother was a prevention minded RN, and she quit nursing because of hospital protocols. This was 70 years ago. We did eat lots of veggies and some meat, because we lived on a big farm. Nowadays, I avoid any veggies from regular grocery chains, even organic. I buy some meat from a local farmer who has all of his animals out on good pasture. Regenerative or biodynamic are my choices for healthy sources. Sprouting is probably the best. You are your own doctor, and your food is your medicine. Just know the source.
Thanks for covering this
Thanks for speaking on this. I am the same age as this guy and I really feel for him. I’ve lived with chronic illness for over a decade now and had to give up pretty much everything for it. When it feels like you have nothing left to lose, you will grasp at straws. Tragic that the failed back surgery likely led to this situation. He threw his life away on this for a reason - in capitalism if you cannot work you essentially have a death sentence. I’m looking at getting on disability right now, not only will it likely take years to get on I don’t even qualify for SSDI because I got sick before I could start working, so I have no work credits. What little could potentially get is not enough to live on, so I have to live off charity from family for the rest of my life on top of debilitating pain every day. I can’t be out of bed much at all because exertion worsens it. Everything I try to do is punished by my body and honestly I do not want to live like this for 60+ years, but there isn’t any treatment barely any research done so I don’t even get a straw to grasp at like back surgery.
Check into energy healing (reiki, HT, et al).
I have been waiting for your comments as you have medical knowledge. Thank you.
Thank you Doobie! You are shedding a light on the injustice in our country in general. Just a side note: I have degenerative disc disease. I saw an orthopedic doctor about ten years ago, and of course, surgery was the answer. I said no thank you and never went back. I found a wonderful chiropractor that helped me immensely. Thank you, thank you, thank you for speaking the truth.
This is so rare. Thank you Dr. Goobie. One of the very few.
there are good people out there, he's a reminder
i admire u for not ignoring ur conscious and excresising empathy at all cost.
I broke my hand many years ago, a common boxer's fracture. The surgeon told me, be absolutely sure you go to physical therapy. If you don't work it asap you will lose mobility, and you will not want to do the stuff on your own. My physical therapy was of course denied. I did some of the stuff alone. I got most of the mobility back, but it took years.
Dr Goobie, thank you for your wonderful channel. Thank you for educating us about spine surgery and the HC system and the atrocities of the powerful corporate state that has diminished our humanity. Just as you have touched on in some of your videos, You must love yourself and the people in your life. The answer to the meaning of life isn't money and power, it's love, sympathy and empathy. It's always been the answer and will be the only thing that will change the almost certain demise of our society and our planet. I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors..❤
❤ you’re honesty is highly appreciated man
