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 KZread 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 went to see two spine surgeons for my lower back problem, the younger surgeon who just graduated straight up ask me when do I want the surgery? I kind of felt that he just viewed me as cash cow. The older surgeon told me that my condition is very common and the best option is modify my life style, eat healthy diet, exercise everyday and no bending back lifting, he told me surgery is the very last option that doesn’t come risk free. Few months later I was so much better, and 6 years later although I have occasional sore back but manageable, I still live a very normal active life. I’m so thankful for the older surgeon’s advice, I think you can continue to be a surgeon, but teach patients to opt for more conservative treatment than surgery.

I don't think he should feel bad about what he has done already. He should be happy that he decided to quit to allow time for him to get a new prospect of life and work. After awhile he can go back to continue his work in a new way. He can open his own clinic to offer his neuro patient s new options in fixing their neurological problems. This way they can save a lot of money while he still make good money and feel good.

Hi I am a family doctor in Australia. It does not carry the same prestige as a specialty, or pay the same salary, however, I feel I can help my patients with preventative health advice similar to what you mentioned, no smoking, exercise, get outside to help relieve stress, diet etc. I have seen patients who have had surgery for various issues, some successful, some made the patient worse. I recommend surgery as a last resort. I feel a little sad that someone with your talent and knowledge got to a stage where you felt you had to leave the profession for your own sanity. However I do admire you for making the brave choice to walk away, and hopefully you can find something to make you feel happy and satisfied in the future.

I have a PhD from MIT, 1998 geophysics. I was working at Hopkins in a big data group. I started feeling like this about science, like it isn't healing the world, it's just chasing government grants. I got chronic fatigue syndrome. Doctors said I was "just depressed." 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. Now I'm a lifeguard and a swim instructor. Just got backyard chickens. Life is more meaningful. Feeling better all the time. I understand.

You are 1000% correct. I kept going to multiple docs trying to find out why no one was trying to find and fix the root cause of my problems. My last appointment 15 years ago with a dermatologist, I got my answer.....she said, we don't do research to find root causes, we don't seek to find root causes, we manage the problem (s) with pharma and surgery when appropriate. If you want to find root causes, find a study somewhere in the world and get involved with it. Then she said we can no longer help you - she yelled at her 2 assistants and said are the next 3 patients installed in the back waiting rooms? And she just left. I ended up fixing myself with low back/sciatica issues and skin issues with diet changes, more cardio, weight lifting/resistance exercises & stretches and lifestyle changes. My whole body/mind has changed. 100% what you said in video. KZread allowed me to find the best holistic/functional docs and weight training coaches.

I have been in nursing homes twice re-learning how to use my arms and walk. Its a hard pill to swallow to know you have no hope to get better. It just won't happen. It's a dark night of the soul.

I agree with @ZoeGamer101 - I'm a 32 year Chiropractor with 29 straight years of debilitating degenerative disc recurring countless times. Long story short I looked into the published research of the microbiome (gut bacteria) and degenerative disc. Microbiome connects with many physical and mental conditions. Along with eating beef, fermented dairy and many eggs daily. I began nightly walking. A short walk transpired into longer distances up to 2 miles. Began using resistant (elastic) bands for push and pull exercises. Then increased walking to AM as well as PM for 4 miles daily. Each month I improved. I have been pain free for over 16 months and can basically do anything and still working without disc pain. There is more to add, but this is the nutshell story. Countless people with numerous neurological, physical, mental conditions improve with exercise and a carnivore (no carbohydrate diet) diet. Write back if you desire.

I have severe scoliosis, and couldn't get surgery (the ONLY way to fix me, they said), because I couldn't afford it. So I opted in with a holistic care system, including improving my diet, lifestyle, exercise , relationships, and emotional issues that are apparently the root cause.

Why Do You Type Like This

I have watched thousands of videos. And this is by far the best 45 minute video I have ever watched. This video needs to be in every elementary school, every high school, every college. What our parents did...isn't working! I'm 54, I'm sick as hell, I'm burned out, after 28 years I got laid off, my husband was terrible but I wanted to "keep the family together" except we're not together bc everyone is burned out and depressed. There are millions of us who can't afford to head to the mountains. So something needs to change as a society. I had the happiest childhood and then the 90s hit and HGTV told us our houses weren't enough and our lives weren't enough and we needed to work more more more and then we all...just burned out. That run on sentence felt so good, take that Sr. Dorothy and my college professors and anyone else who thinks run on sentences are what's important. I just did the dishes I hadn't done in two weeks while I watched this and now if you'll excuse me I'm going to walk my very depressed dogs. My kids barely speak to me anymore since my surgery and depression and I need to get endorphins back into my body to change that. I hope your future plan turns out to be life coach. But for now enjoy the mountains=) happy healing. Your 45 minite video just saved another person's suffering.

This is the content youtube was made for... I’m in the same boat, and am so grateful that I came across this. Thank you!

@@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.

Thank you so much for this video! It resonated deeply with me and articulated what I've been feeling for quite some time. I've been working for the NHS in the UK for five years, and from the very beginning, I realised that the healthcare system is not there to truly help people get better but to live off their reoccurring health problems. Right now, I'm at a 'crisis' point in my life and often feel like a fraud at work. Like you, I've decided that moving away from my current lifestyle and embracing a slower pace in a remote area is the only way to save myself from burning out. Unfortunately, I can't afford to quit just yet. I'm gradually working toward a better future, and in the meantime, your words reassure me that my thoughts are valid and give me hope for the coming years.

Hi Goobie. I am a classically trained psychotherapist and practiced for almost 20 years in both acute care hospitals and in private practice. What you have said in the video resonates with me more than words can express. I walked away from the medical field twice. First when I relocated from Florida to Maine and then again from the trauma service at a large level 1 trauma CTR here in New England. The medical field changed so much int he years of practice. I totally agree that the change from patient centered care to a more dollar model did happen. The enablement of medical systems to allow patients to direct care and the hospitals allowing to make more money. I have not practiced now for about four years and presently lost in the system. I cant find something that challenges me to want to work. Again I am very lost at the moment but I know that the medical field is not for me. All the training and money I spent. Again your story resonates within me. Thank you

I looked back over my career and suddenly saw that the system had 'inexplicably' failed to solve any of the problems I'd been focusing on for twenty years! And there was lots of wisdom in some practitioners but they were hog tied by regulations to *not do* what works best. I have hope! I see a wave of like minded professionals who have left their fields, who are healing themselves and fueling up for new approaches to helping people. ❤

Your bravery has inspired me and so many others! Thank you for sharing your story. I know you will thrive even more now that you are following your heart. So glad for you! I don't feel so alone for following my heart.

Your job now is learning how to live a happy, authentic life. You are still an MIT graduated Neurosurgeon but now you also have a unique and valuable take on life which I am very greatful to you for sharing. In this way you are relieving a great deal of silent sufferering taking place right now in the lives of so many disillusioned people. Thankyou for sharing your new reality and helping so many others begin a journey into theirs 😊❤

Wow!! It hit home for me. I spent 30 years as a fire medic. Saw a lot of human misery. Saw and treated every kind of trauma, suicide, cardiac issues, strokes and many things you can't think of. 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.

Yes! It seemed like we went from being the patient’s advocate, to an environment of the patient being the enemy, and it seemed like it happened overnight! New nurses thought they were too important to handle anything but “trauma”, and everything else “should have gone to the primary doctor’s office”. Oh, and everyone in pain was “faking it”.

So good to hear! Stay on that path. A health or social support system is neither healthy nor social if it wrecks the people working in it. We commercialised two areas that never should be commercial: health and law. Both result in back breaking hours and stress - no money can compensate for that once the adrenaline stops giving you the highs.

I think to have a wellness care model we would need socialism or something like that because more due to the fact it’s about different incentives than just maximize shareholder profits where even ceos are afraid of hostile takeovers for not maximizing enough so even they are forced into this otherwise the billionaires buy a large shares and vote them out and cause this chaos for all the people in the US

old, overused term, but y es. As a nurse and patient.....it's 100% true. I'd hardly call it 'care' though even when with "sick"before it. It's symptom and NUMBERS (labs) appeasing.....NOT curative, not root cause analysis by ANY means. Mafia that waits for you to have urgencies and surgerie$.

You’re a Fantastic human being! Thanks for restoring my faith in people.. ✨✨✨Thank You,again! ❤

Goobie, you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. I hope that you continue to find happiness, peace and contentment on your new journey! 😊

Something isnt adding up..... and im going to figure it out. I'm also a medical doctor based in the US.

Honest man. Above all else, to thine own self, be true. Glad to know there are still some good doctors out there.

I came across your video by accident. Other than career, you and I have so much in common. I started my journey in 2019 and though it’s still a slow go, this is my best life. I was also a caretaker for both my parents for over 20 years. I’m so proud of you and the decisions that you’ve made. I’m so thankful that you have a spouse that is understanding and loving. My husband pretty much said the same thing to me. That kind of support is amazing. Not a lot of people have that. You now have a fan And I can’t wait to watch your other videos and hikes. I have a four year old black lab and her and I get out quite often. I hope you have a great weekend. Anybody that reads this, I hope you have a blessed day as well. This is some amazing and heartfelt content. ❤️✨✌🏼

The interesting part of this video for me is how our society seemingly has no place for this type of human being. Someone who has genuine empathy, someone who is uninterested in the trappings of wealth for the sake of wealth itself, someone who is extremely emotionally intelligent. How can we say our society is succeeding and thriving if the only metric is financial success and we continually select for those who are motivated by and enjoy finding financial success?
