Did True Crime Producer Fall Victim to Dark Forces of the TV Industry? | John Balson Case Analysis

[@craftycondostitcher8831]

I totally agree. I personally watch more true crime on KZbin than I do TV shows.

Great discussion. Bravo, Dr. Grande..

You know what job is dark and stressful? Coroner, homicide detective, first responders, the list goes on. I don't think anyone with sense actually believes his job gave him a neurological disease. He needed something better than the NHS had to offer.

Poor John! I have been where he was whereby I was misdiagnosed over and over. It's so frustrating and depressing.

Good job Dr. Grande! Thank you so much for sharing you personal perspectives on production & its contents, as well as your teachings on mental health. I enjoy your channel & think your doing a great job, right where your at in self production. Lisa Isgrig in Northern, CA - 9/29/24

Chronic pain can make people think irrationally. Especially if that pain is undiagnosed.

[@nixm9093]

I believe it. I had a condition that caused medium level pain for about 3 weeks. I would get so irrationally annoyed by any little thing by the 3rd week, I had to consciously remind myself, "it's the pain not the person" before I said something I'd regret.

[@stacyflood4319]

I have MS, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Neuropathy. I'm in excruciating pain, every second of every day. Can't take any meds for it, they all make me feel sicker. I've been going through this since November of 2018. I'm at my breaking point. I've had enough.

[@normacook8325]

​@stacyflood4319 I'm so very sorry, Stacy. I worked in Healthcare for over 30 years and some clinicians still doubt the reality of fibromyalgia and most have no clue about chronic pain. I will pray right now that you have some improvement!

[@llama_rahma]

@@stacyflood4319 Hi, I have MS, osteoarthritis in my spine and sacrum, and neuropathy too. I also have myofascial pain syndrome, and two herniated discs. Do you have a pain management doctor? I was at my breaking point too, but my pain management doctor saved me. I have an upcoming appointment for acupuncture (electroacupuncture) by a sports medicine doctor for my myofascial pain syndrome. But I know that it helps relieve fibromyalgia pain too. Do you have a MS neurologist or rheumatologist? Does gabapentin, baclofen, or cyclobenzaprine make you tired?

Hi Doc! Could you please consider looking into the worker who died at her desk at Wells Fargo and wasn't discovered for 4 days? There seems to be something really off about this story. For example: what about unanswered e-mails. They could see she was there, but no answer to e-mails? Or no one stepped into her cubicle just to say hi? What kind of work culture was that?

Even if I was just there because of a minor injury or illness, I think I'd be ready to unalive myself after being forced to sit and wait in a chair for 31 hours. Even the worst police interrogations don't go on *that* long. That's like solitary confinement... in your mind. That hospital needs to have practices in place for those situations, like referring or moving patients to nearby facilities in case of overflow. I'm no expert so I can't say if that's feasible there, but either way what happened (or is still happening) indicates a terrible lack of management despite the high demand and lack of resources, and something needs to change.

[@wisdomsleuth77777]

Literally please keep a chiropractor in mind with instances such as this, especially if it's a sudden onset! I always recommend this before starting medications, because medication side effects can be worse than what you're dealing with, as well as not actually taking care of the problem. I'm just saying chiropractor is my #1 go to on my list since it kept me from having to have back surgery... I've also had amazing success when I had an earache migraine for about 8 months doctors couldn't figure it out after thousands of dollars worth of tests and no answers I was out in my neck and just like that it went away after one visit. Another time had been I had been throwing up once a month for 11 hours completely debilitating finally went to the chiropractor and hasn't happened since. Not saying medication should never be used just saying start with the least invasive possible solution to the underlying problem immediately

I’ve been watching your channel for many years! I love listening to your videos on my way to work and before bed. I must say I prefer your channel over big production true crime any day because of your straight forward and analytical approach. Instead of creating a dramatic story out of a tragedy you get straight to the point in a respectful and insightful way. It’s such a shame the production companies would advantage of your contributions!! Us on KZbin truly appreciate all the time and energy you put into your near daily uploads!! You rock!!!!!!!!❤️

[@HeatherHolt]

This poor man must have been truly suffering.

[@beautifulsunset4071]

I very much enjoyed the last bit where you talked about your experiences in the true crime production community. It was nice to hear a bit about an aspect of your life. Also, I find this case incredibly sad. He clearly had a medical issue going on compounded by the stress of not being able to work because of it and he couldn't even do any of the things he enjoyed. I can't imagine being in that much pain and having your vision impaired in that way for such a long time and then not getting the help that you need when you go to the hospital. 😔

Great point, sometimes my wife and I watch a true crime documentary on a streaming service and then watch Dr Grande's video on the same event, and I always prefer Dr Grande's video. The TV version is often pretty good, but they play up the emotional angle too much, like showing someone's sad face for many seconds with sad music. Dr Grande gets right to the point, and usually provides more information in much less time (12 or 15 minutes instead of hours).

[@holidayarmadillo8653]

Dr. Grande, just wanted to say you are a huge inspiration to me. I've been following your channel since when you first started locking down your now trademark phrases "first i'll look at the background of this case, then move to my analysis" and "this is just a theory, my opinion" are two of my favorites along with of course "just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video only speculating on what *could* be happening in a situation *like* this"!! Its been a joy to watch your fantastic and educationally valuable channel continue to grow and grow more! The work you do is incredibly important, and I look up to you as a role model for how I would like to behave. I'm already an adult i'm 30, but I still feel i have so much more growing to do as a person, and you are someone I look up to and hope to be more like in my profession and in my personal life as I keep maturing. I would also like to be--like you are--someone who is intelligent (and uses his intelligence!), rational, clear of mind, considerate, thoughtful, gives back to those around him, and spends his efforts in a worthy cause everyday. I agree with you that this is the future not television, not just for you but for most people! Television continues to get less popular and KZbin and streaming are booming it feels like. Anyway, I say all that to say: Thank you for your educational videos and for the example you set for all of us showing what a healthy admirable contributor to society looks like. Doesn't take miracles, doesn't take massive fame, doesn't take going viral, it just takes everyday diligence and a sense of care and respect for the work and message that you put out into the world everyday. 🙏

Dr. Grande thank you for bringing awareness about this disorder. I have intractable migraine, I've had a continuous migraine for 13 years. Feelings of wanting to end your life are common, it is a life-ruining disorder. There's also very little sympathy for it from anyone, including hospitals. Migraines can't be seen on a scan, and it's not well understood, so pretty much everyone assumes you're lying, lazy, or insane. I hope that in my lifetime science will discover more about it.

[@nixm9093]

A friends mum had that in the 80s. I remember her going for injections back then and often when I visited she'd be lying in a darkened room. It's very debilitating. I hope you find relief ❤

I connect with your comment and want to offer support. Chronic migraines destroyed decades of my life and lost me the affection of one daughter (while my other daughter believed me and we remained close).

Maybe I should share my story too. Funny actually. I had been unwell sick whole body aching, pain walking, tired, lack of energy, headaches and lost weight and depression too. I did not go to any doctors or hospitals but just to a therapist like energy transfer. It took me 2months to feel that way daily. If I need to go somewhere or meet people I just pop in a panadol😄. It helps to feel better for a few hours. 2 whole months I felt bad. Then suddenly another pain attacked me, I had a headache only on my left side of head. It lasted 10days, very severe. I am not a doctor person 😄 who goes to doctor often. So I kept recalling what did I eat or do or use that could make my head ache so much. Then ahhh my new shampoo! Omg.. the next day I used another shampoo then Pop! it gets better and better! Well I am at my 60s. A dangerous age actually. I was so confident NOT to go to any doctors. Doctors would mean medicines and check ups or tests and money. Also time consuming to and fro with the check ups etc. I dont know what is my point here, I know I have not been too careless with my life all along, so I was sure it was just depression and lack of movements after retiring😜. After 3 months of pain and full of worries, I am now almost back to normal. This is my 5th month. Maybe my point is dont panick when things are bad. Believe in what you think is best for you. Then just pray.

I have had chronic disequilibrium since Dec of 2020 when I had brain surgery for a vestibular schwanomma. My right vestibular nerve was removed and my left was supposed to compensate. It never has. I’ve seen lots of specialists: the last being a top ENT specialist at Stanford who diagnosed me with vestibular migraines. However, in spite of a powerful Rx to try to alleviate symptoms nothing has changed. The frustration of looking normal but feeling incredibly off balance and extremely fatigued is overwhelming. Nothing to do with John Balson, but the vestibular migraine mention caught my attention. It’s rare and debilitating.

One time resulted in a burst eardrum (SO painfull), second time I had a huge abcess in my neck which was obstruting my breathing & that was about to burst (I had to have surgery after seeing a 4th doctor & the third time I had to have a massive lumbar fusion surgery with 7 days in hospital & complications during hospitalization while my doctor went on vacation during that time. He'd initially diagnosed my back pain as a minor problem that would only require a day surgery/outpatient procedure. They seem to care less about what a patient has to say. There is no sense of urgency & there is little education that covers cross-referencing outside their medical specialty. If one doctor can't find the health problem one suffers from, they usually declare that "you're fine". No one would ever say "I don't know or This case is outside of my experience, you should try to see ______ who is much more experienced than I". The entire medical profession & business in the US sucks.

If you are an independent business operator, settle the fee before you give any information. Make sure that you recieve payments often, so you know that the customer is villing and able to pay your invoices. Demanding even the smallest prepayment or advance payment will be an easy and sure way to weed out unserious companies. This way you secure you are dealing with management level who is autorized to pay your fees. Elsewise you will spent time on the students from the loval trade collage. Trust me, I have been there. With thanks for your great content. Greetings from Copenhagen , Denmark

It's so sad, this man seemed like an amazing person who really wanted to help people! I have at times, felt this way as a nurse, compassion fatigue is real! Thankfully, I have an amazing supportive boss, family, and I have sought out counseling when feeling overwhelmed. My heart goes out to his family.
