Neurosurgeon quits

[@LabradoodleTofuBoy]

That was a very elegant & respectful comment. Love seeing other surgeons support Dr Goobie. TRUTH takes courage.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Thank you for the compliment, appreciate it 🙏

[@ALEZANDAR]

Wow! nice to see a fellow doctor show support for Goobie, the surgeon doctor who quit! Goobie has the soul of a healer not a quitter!

[@yinshah3303]

This is so needed! I’m in a similar situation….I’ve had days where I would prefer to be a car salesman. My reasoning is at least people are aware of the dishonesty and greed from the salesman. It’s even more disheartening to see the less scrupulous colleagues get the praise and money/ promotion.

[@landerson4319]

My friend who was a neurosurgeon/orthopedic surgeon. He was kind, loving, intelligent, and had been a good football player for a major university. One day he cut his finger while preforming surgery on a man’s shoulder and he became infected with Hepatitis C. He lost weight and got very sick before the medical team finally arrived at the diagnosis. I ask him why he didn’t have the patient’s blood tested for diseases before the surgery and he said it was against the law and he could get in trouble if he ordered the test. I replied well isn’t preforming surgery somewhat like Russian Roulette if you don’t know or can’t test for deadly or infectious diseases before you risk your life trying to help any patient ? This happened 15 years ago, I hope government rules and regulations have improved since.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Thank you for sharing. Very sad to hear that. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. Devastating.

I would like to thank you for this honest presentation of the current situation in medicine.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Appreciate your kind words. Health-care has changed into Sick-care, with disturbing implications down the road (for patients and physicians/ nurses).

[@alasdfsdfsdf]

as a new grad in the world of medicine, the word "dehumanizing" was spot on...

[@spikeybunny6577]

Is this conversation really about how well all the many years of medical training prepares, or doesn’t, doctors for the realities of working in the medical industry today? (I’m not a doctor, I’m a patient).

[@SusiesRepeat]

Thanks for the explanation, I saw the video of this neurosurgeon, and thought he must have had some very compelling reason to quit with all that time and training he had done.

[@ymaster8719]

This happened in many corporate jobs these days, quantity over quality, it is all about the number of turn-over, the speed of turn-over, if mistake is made, it would create another jobs for someone else to fix the mistake instead of have enough time to fix the mistake in the first instance.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

You are correct. Healthcare "output" is (sadly) measured in $ these days, instead of outcomes/ quality, just like any Fortune-500 corporation. I don't know how this system can possibly be improved. Very frustrating for patients (and doctors too).

[@LobsterMobility]

Great response video mate!! I hope this keeps building. Doctors wont top help the system can and hopefully WILL start changing! Andre

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Thank you Andre, appreciate the compliment. Things in the medical-system have to get better, for everybody. Let's hope that happens (soon).

[@LobsterMobility]

@@SpineSurgeonSpeaks Most doctors wont to help people, thats why they put themselves through all that training as well as the lucrative money and prestige. Some dont really care that much they may even like the current system. I am a tradesman not a doctor, I am a patient at times, I believe its not the doctors but the system, it is so massively failing humanity its obvious! Its very obvious!! There is a global crisis thats well underway and people ARE dying. So many parts of the 'system' are wrong, even minor almost details like how doctors have to do those long stupidly long days at hospitals etc as part of their training. Thats not good for the student, not good for the patients, not good for anything! A system that has even the great Dr Thomas Seyfried not being able to utilise every modality such as glutamine inhibitors as freely as he would like - who is a better judge of that sort of thing than him!? I think Dr Goobie addresses more than just the medical system he is getting in touch with his feelings and his own mental health and its awesome that side of things as well. Its awesome his 'expose" on the medical industry. As a consumer I am over my doctors not being able to treat the way they wish to. I hate how it is slow moving - 10-15 years to implement a treatment after a successful trial! Thats rubbish people are dying right now. By the way I can see a good physician a mile away these days, id bet my house you are good at your job sir, good on ya mate. Andre

You spelled the secrets of the coporate medicine, hopefully it can become a subject in public discussion, especially in the medical field.

[@Heeman5]

Great video, now I get it. Thank you.👍🏼👍🏼

[@celestialfix]

I agree with you. There are laws against the corporate practice of medicine in most if not all states, but organized medicine never saw the value in enforcing and strengthening those laws.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

I agree. Physicians have ceded the initiative to corporations, unfortunately.

[@celestialfix]

@@SpineSurgeonSpeaksOnce upon a time, almost all the hospitals were nonprofit corporations for a very good reason: hospitals really didn’t make any money. Then, in the 1960s, Dr. Frist started HCA which was the first major for profit hospital organization.. After awhile HCA realized that when you look at the medical staff bylaws, the doctors really control all the operational aspects of the hospital, and the hospital could not compromise those standards and increase profits without the votes of doctors to amend those bylaws. So, they started acquiring physician practices, those doctors became their employees, and they then controlled those votes. They first went for the low hanging fruit such as hospitalists and ER docs, but later branched out into taking over and employing primary care docs, neonatologists, and now even oncologists, surgeons and many other areas. Like so many other insidious actions, it’s all done through incrementalism…..by the time you realize what they’re up to, they’ve got you checkmated. I think it will all unravel on them some day because all of their actions, many of which violates anti-trust laws, has saved the healthcare system zero dollars, and in many cases it’s much more expensive under hospital control. The original tension between hospitals and doctors was a healthy one: doctors wanted to make money in their offices, while hospitals wanted them to make money in the hospital. Thats how it should be. You take care doc. All the best.

Money can be used as a tool for good and unfortunately a tool for greed and moral corruption

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Absolutely true.

[@nunyabidness4946]

Money can be used to separate the worthy humans versus the majority (damned)as well. Dr. Pippa Malmgren at the World Government Summit "We are on the brink of a dramatic change; we are about to abandon the traditional system of money and replace it with a new one, Digital Blockchain CBDC, which will give us greater clarity over every single transaction.” - N0kia chief executive officer Pekka Lundmark at World Ec0nomic Forum in Dav0s. "N0kia expects 6G systems to launch commercially by 2030, following the typical 10-year cycle between generations." "By then the smartphone as we know it today will not anymore be the most common interface,” he said. “Many of these things will be built directly into our bodies". Revelation 13:16-18 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [a]the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. We all get equal opportunity to heed or reject our conscience.

[@LeeRoyJenkz]

Oh I understand this for sure. I couldn’t imagine the stress and the displeasing reality of corporate medicine. Just worries me when doctors quit. We need them. The atlas shrug concept is real.

[@eechaze12]

That's why healthcare is so expensive in the US. We are funding the lifestyles for CEOs that dont provide healthcare. Lots of middlemen

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

100% correct. More than 75% of the physicians in the U.S. are employed by hospital-systems/ mega-corporations; they have limited autonomy, and their performance is tracked with "metrics" selected by the MBAs running these systems. As a result the rate of dissatisfaction amongst physicians is quite high, and in the coming years there is likely to be an exodus of experienced physicians who have become disillusioned with the system. This is a difficult problem.

[@Max-jv6sx]

Right? I mean, why on Earth would anyone want someone to be in the way between them and their doctor? "Hi, I'm your surgeon and I'm going to provide you the surgery you need, but because I have to consult with an arbitrary group of shareholders who make no part in this medical decision-making process other than leeching off the entire patient population, it's going to cost you." Also, medical bankruptcy makes up the largest proportion of people who go into bankruptcy. No wonder why the US ranks last place when having to do with leading health indicators compared to other developed nations. --RN, FNP

[@raliyaxsomo]

0:09 We don’t need to be in the medical field to recognize the harm being done to patients within the medical-industrial complex. As patients, we often bear the brunt of a system where profits are prioritized over care. While there are some dedicated and compassionate doctors, many simply conform to the system, becoming part of a profit-driven machine. I’m incredibly grateful for my naturopathic doctor in private practice, who truly prioritizes patient well-being. ❤

Yes brave. Unlike so many doctors who fell in line and abandoned common sense and their patients.

Yes, doctors need to follow their common sense, and their ethics, as well as the Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm". We need more doctors who refuse to serve the corrupt and dysfunctional profit prioritizing and soul-sucking "sickcare" system. That's the only way to change and good health.

[@The_AgentSmith]

That is not the only problem in the medical system. I recently quit my job at an engineering company for this exact reason: 'Generating money, not solving the root cause,' which led me to an existential crisis and detachment from my sense of purpose.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Agreed. This has become a problem across all professions, not just medicine.

[@tirtraz3174]

You’re probably too young to know about DRG’s. This is when insurance and manufacturers of meds started taking over. Taking the decisions away from physicians. It was very hard to “let” another entity take over physicians treatments. It felt bad then, and worse over the years. I understand that struggle.

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

After being in practice for almost 17 years, it is dawning on me that the "mindless" complexity of the medical system is a feature, not a bug. There are too many stake-holders making too much money, and any attempts to reform/change/alter the status-quo will be met by desperate opposition from all these parties. For decades the medical-education system carefully avoided providing medical-students/ residents with any business-related training; that seemed odd to me at the time, but now (with the benefit of hindsight ) it is clear to me that it was intentional. The goal was to mass-produce pre-programmed clones who can be moved on the chess-board (and replaced) as necessary. I wonder what percentage of physicians in practice are not disillusioned by the current state of "medicine." I would be surprised if the number was higher than 5%. Why doctors are quitting medicine is not a mystery.
