Not knowing Dr. Goobie I absolutely agree with him. As a woman I encountered several doctors who had no interest in helping me get better they were pushing unnecessary surgeries. He's a good caring doctor.
He should not have quit. I am a family doctor who has discovered the truth aboutt healing disc herniations and degenerative disc disease WITHOUT surgery ten years ago, and I have helped tens of thousands of spinal patients living productive lives painfree without surgery nor steroid injection, getting so many pts off of chronic narcotics...and it is very rewarding practice. Pts will still need X rays, many office visits, many varoius supplements which we sell in the office, so we are making a sustainable business practice to heal people the right way.
@@trungson6604 Thank you for sharing your comment but I will have to say I disagree with part of your comment. What you are claiming that you do is good and helping people is great. His decision to quit is better than why you feel he should not have quit. The way hospitals are set up in this country is about money not helping and healing people. I'm a woman and I respect this doctor for speaking up. In my opinion he made the right decision.
@@Chulita-p4c Sure, his quitting is good for us physicians who remain in practice, more business for us. Patients still need to see doctors who examine them and hand hold them and to prescribe a set of treatment regimens specific to each condition... to get them back to a pain free and productive live.
@@trungson6604 What a selfish comment from you. It's all about your status and title. In my opinion you are one of many doctors who don't care about the patient. What an arrogant and selfish comment. Thank God many people are looking for natural remedies and doctors who offer real medical help through foods and exercise.
Wow, I love your insights into Goobie! Very astute observations. Seems like a very nerdy guy with a good heart. You brought up a VERY good point about compassionate doctors being affected by patient suffering too. And the most compassionate and caring doctors (like Dr. Goobie) probably burn out the fastest.
I saw it with my own eyes while working at a GP clinic that junior doctors have more compassion to the patients, and the older ones (+10 years experience) are more distant and callous. The mental labor is very intense in healthcare, so the older doctors adapt to the system in order to stay in the occupation. Many of the junior doctors chose to seek other career paths which do not require seeing patients. Gobbie's situation is not unusual.
@@DrawBioMedyou misunderstood his humility and openness...he does not care re-our opinions...his compassion is overwhelmingly unusual that it is easy to think him "psychopathic" ~ who leaves a "good job", who has a loving spouse, and who has the quality time now to take stock of where he is in life...where he is at now is a rarity by sharing, he probably is alleviating more suffering while he himself is trying to heal...he is offering ways of managing pain free-of-charge and that indeed is "psychopathic" when viewed thru the lens of society Your response to him is the kindest and most humane I have seen this far; all others seem envy-driven. Only those who had gone through the rigors of med school and training can understand how you mean I like your opinion of his move to take a rest...actually you are the most humane in your approach to his dilemma
Definitely wasn't expecting the alleged 'psychopath' commentary here, haha. Yikes. In any case, even on a good day, it *cannot* be easy to work in a hospital-no matter what role you're in tbh.
I agree with you on the pet obsession. It infuriates me when people compare pet ownership to parenting children. They are not even close to comparable.
I can understand their affections becuase pets can be sentient. I am just not emotionally involved with any life form who doesn't pay my bills, regarless of sentient, insentient, plants, fungi, animals or human. Hard life lessons I learned.
What hes trying to say is, he would do the spine surgeries and it didnt help the patients. This is a very common phenomenon in fact there is an entire pathology known in the medical community as FAILED BACK SURGERY SYNDROME. These surgeries have a high failure rate but most surgeons keep doing them anyway because they get paid a lot for them.
@@JDinky652 those drugs are scary as any drug legal or illegal that I can think of. I feel that they don't truly understand them or their long-term effects. What do you think about this?
I disagree that one MUST be a psychopath to sustain a career in surgery, unless you are using the term "psychopath" quite loosely. I do agree that a degree of subclinical psychopathy is beneficial to being in the field (you cannot get too emotional cutting into people). This is apparent for some individuals, but plenty of my seniors in surgery and future-surgeon classmates were pretty normal compassionate individuals. Going through the medical training/healthcare system causes compassion fatigue and/or moral injury (in Dr. Goobie's case), which may affect the compassion that most surgeons may feel or express on a day-to-day basis. I currently do not know any surgeons closely. I would estimate that it is difficult, but not impossible, to remain compassionate as a surgeon in the long run. One would have to have very realistic expectations of the work, set boundaries well to maintain self-care, and at times make treatment decisions that benefit the patient over profit (eg not performing a surgery or treatment when it is unlikely to be helpful).

@@xificayd there are many types of art jobs such as fine art, animator, illustration, concept art etc. The same with medicine there different specialty. If you did go to art school you know you need to spend lots of hours even more so than a surgeon. You are the one who is delusional.
His reason for quitting made no sense. I think he just wants to be an influencer and promote a plant-based diet like so many are doing nowadays. The money is easy and you don't have to deal with the public. He also strikes me as very immature.
Do you think Goobie quit for the right reason?

Hello Jon! I think it's a tragedy to be a healthworker who has own health problems and trying to heal other people
Indeed. They often don’t have time to take care of themselves physically and mentally.
I was a surgeon scheduler for many years and if their schedule was not full. Look Out! I was incredibly stressed.

True. I noticed the older doctors have compassion fatigue while I was working at a clinic
This is a big problem not only in the medical field but also in the art world.
Can you share more details? I am curious
You are delusional if you think working a hobby job as artist is anywhere even close to the stress and burden that surgeons feel.
