  • Here, I share my story about how I spent the last two decades of my life as a neurosurgeon who went through a mid-life crisis and got through to the other side.... maybe?

    In summary, Gooby, a former neurosurgeon with 20 years of training and experience, left his career due to dissatisfaction and ethical concerns about the effectiveness of his work.
    He discovered that lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management were more crucial for patients' recovery than surgeries, which often did not address underlying issues.
    Gooby struggled with the realization that the medical system was not set up to promote true healing, which led to ethical conflicts and a sense of being stuck in a job he no longer believed in.
    With his wife's support, he decided to quit his job, despite having no clear plan for the future, to avoid continuing a life that was making him unhappy.
    He started a RUclips channel to document his hikes and time spent with his dog, finding solace in nature and aiming to cherish the moments with his pet while exploring new possibilities for his life.

    I am a Family Medicine doctor that quit my job after taking care of patients for 7 years. Just like Dr. Goobie says, the medical system that we are currently afflicted with DOES NOT look at the root cause. Your doctors, PAs, nurses, pharmacists are not taught to fix the roof. We are taught to follow protocols set up by the pharmaceutical industry, prescribe medications or surgeries because that is how money is made, and tell the patients - good luck. Our medical system, our food system, our economic system - all of them are set up to make us sick and keep us sick, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Fortunately, more and more people are coming awake to these facts and choosing to live in a way that actually nurtures life and support your body to heal itself. Dr. Goobie, God bless you, and I pray that you are able to work through the trauma of being a part of that death system, and find a way to use your experience and history to contribute to life, and not participate with death.

      as a physical therapist working in home health I'm incredibly frustrated working with patients with preventable medical conditions it seems are barely managed, patients i can do nothing to keep out of the hospital, patients who run out of blood pressure meds and their pco tells them to go to the ER to get a refill. i went onto PT because i wanted to help improve people's QOL. it seems all my company amd insurance want me to do is get the visits in and document it well.
      i spend most my time talking and educating. i figure if i teach them something, ive at least done SOMETHING. but it feels more and more like we live in a broke system where everyone is over specialized and unable to effectively treat anything. too many patients being told the doctors dont really know what's going on, so the slap on a CHF diagnosis and call it a day.

      Private insurance companies are the Issue. They intend only to make a profit. It's up to the General Public to say something. That's how democracy works . Waiting around for the politicians they will do what gets them reelected. So if the majority of the General Public days fix the medical system or we won't vote for you. That's the only time they will get off their asses and do anything.

I held hope that he could revisit helping ppl with his skills and intelligence. What I see is a personal journey, not a drive to incite change in a system. Those are a rare few. He is advocating for himself.
      The pharma system needs to rethink their protocols for health, or we won't be able to excel as a civilization. More healthy, happy, intelligent ppl exist, the better we become as individually and as a whole.

      Nope, that's the wrong approach to begin with.
      System is too big and corrupted to change it. Solution is much simpler.
      People like this doctor here, and there are many others like him, just have to go away from that corrupt system and offer people another alternative approach.
      Once people were offered that kind of choice, I believe think would rapidly change.

So I quit my job, stopped sitting at a desk, sold my house, figured out how to heal myself, stopped stressing, started believing in something greater than myself, got better, moved west.

What is considered a normal and prosperous life is one that just completely drains and destroys people's hapiness and health.

    Dr. Goobie, as a mental health professional, I resonate deeply with your observations. So many people are suffering as part and parcel of their ecology, not solely due to their neuroanatomy, chemistry, or hormones. I provide short term support, a space for processing traumas and loneliness, and offer strategies for wellness, but so many people are facing cultural, social, and economic situations that thwart their wellness, and that fact affects me deeply. Moreover, my profession does not adequately acknowledge all of the ways it upholds the status quo, and that really hurts. As you said, it’s a moral injury. Thank you for putting words to your experience, it’s extremely healing.

      God will give you the right direction to go because only He can see ahead of you! I urge you to follow Christ; He is the only way, truth, and life! Jesus IS the answer you've been looking for; ask Him to show you the way and reveal Himself to you! A happy life is possible, you just have to allow Jesus into your heart and let Him take control. It's not the easiest thing to do, but it does work! This works for me and it works for so many others. Truly seek and ask God and He will show you the truth. God bless and I will pray for all who see this!

    Patients with chronic pain should check out Dr.Sarno’s work. Check out the movie “This may hurt”.
    Much pain is in the brain.

    This was amazing! Went to 7 different doctors, found one; did not like taking a pill. As I fixed his home networking, he fixed my stomach problems by making an appointment to see him, he sat and listened for an hour and told me.
    It’s what you fill the tank, and how you live your life, he had me change my diet; I stuck to it, took blood work and sent me to a nutrition store to buy all plant enzymes to take one before every meal. It was a strict meal I had to follow and if I didn’t follow, doc threatened me that if this didn’t work, he would have to send a scope down my esophagus down to my stomach; so I kept to the regiment! 😂
    1 month later, felt like a teenager and no more gastrointestinal issues. This was 15 years ago.
    I encourage you to pivot Doc! We need more docs like you.

Luckily in this day and age, the civilian sector has a lot more opportunity for a hybrid work from home schedule, so having more time to focus on self and home life is probably better now than it has been the past 20 years, but I’d like to absorb any knowledge you might have to help better set me up for success in the long run.

    I learned of a Greek man in America who was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor gave him 6 months to live. So he went back to the Azores or someplace like that. A small island community where his family was. So every day for 6 months he spent simply enjoying each day. He and his wife entertained guests. Shared meals. Received gifts. Enjoyed laughter and memories. Well. 6 months later he doesnt die. Then a year passes. Then 2 years. So he goes back to America to ask the doctor what happened. The hospital said the docotor died from emphyzema. The man cured his own cancer simply by living stress free.

The new kids hiring on had no work ethic, no brotherhood, entitlement. The hospital ER staff was becoming more angry and arrogant. I was very unhappy. Gain weight. Acquired 3 herniated discs. Saw a spine surgeon regularly. Had 2 knee surgeries.
    I walked away from the career. Lost 30 lbs. Sleep all night, every night. Changed my diet. No stress. Do what I want, when I want with no set schedule. After 2 years. No more back issues. No more knee issues. No need for knee replacement now.

      @@Freakazoid12345 if thats your take away then you missed the entire point of the video. Ask yourself why hustle culture exists? It never existed in the past. In the very beginning man lived in tribes where each member had a job and the tribe would thrive. Then during the height of the egyption empire agriculture was created. It allowed people to harvest large amounts of food so that they could spend more time developing society and technology. Then look at the industrialization era in western history. We were able to use oil and other fuel to power large factories to create mass produced goods/food/resources. What happened during these times? Civilization thrived and grew and people were able to work one job for the most part. We even had something called pensions where a person could work 20+ years and get paid a retirement salary. Fast forward to today... you have to work 2 jobs in many cases to just afford rent and a car payment. Why? We are more productive then ever arent we? Why should we have to work MORE? It is because you have been lied to. There is more then enough money to go around. However, executives have become so greedy they are stealing money from the workers through the pracitce of wage theft. Yes... you can look it up. The working class has lost over 1 trillion in salary due to stock options for executives over the past 50 years. You are being told your lazy and you have to have to "hustle" to survive. This is in fact a lie designed to get you to produce "content" for these big companies. Not to mention provide cheap services for people with money. Why not just go drive them around and buy their groceries. Anyways you will relaize it some day. I wish you the best.

      I hope you're one of the 0.1% of (American) surgeons that's actually a good person and treats their patients and colleagues with respect. Every surgeon I've ever known was either an absolutely insufferable arrogant prick that treated others like they were disgusting creatures lower than them, or a psychopath devoid of all emotion, empathy, and care. I get the worst anxiety when I know I have to interact with one.

    I’m a 73 year old woman who started my nursing career at age 20. I have been an RN for 53 years and have recently retired. Medication and surgery, are the tools used for the sick. But what are the tools of wellness? A natural, simply prepared food, exercise, sleep, friendships, a relationship with nature, helping others. You are living your best life now. Congratulations on sharing and keep supporting a better way to health.

    Thank you do Goobie. I hope you find passion in whatever you decide to pursue. I'm currently in nursing school and struggling with the same ethical dilemma, however, knowing how much I do for my patients OUTSIDE of medicating and assessing is why I continue to do it. It's unfortunate that you get MUCH less patient interaction than me. I hope you find your niche Goobie.

    Met a Neurosurgeon in my twenties at a cigar bar in Boston. A very handsome man in his 30's . He was from Hawaii in town for a conference. We played backgammon and spoke. At the end of the night I walked him back to his hotel. We sat in the public garden and he cried for a solid two hours.Here was this man that had everything, 24k gold watch. Custom made shirt hand tailored custom suite. Top of his career. He said his father was also a neurosurgeon his parents pressured him into the profession. And he needed a stranger to bare his soul. It taught me a valuable lesson that day.A. Everybody deserves the right to the pursuit of their own happiness as long as it is not at the expense of others.B. You are not what you do. C. You have the right to change your mind, and change yourself. I am 53 and after being poisoned by my exterminator in 2016 and losing everything I once cherished. I will begin again. I will start massage school in the fall and try to also find my art until then I will work at my minimum wage job that keeps a roof over my head and live in peace.
