Maybe it’s not such a great idea to turn violent mental patients into heroes https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/police-suspect-unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing-client-insurer-116746164

I mean as someone who had a complete spinal fusion with 40 screws two rods and two plates this is a wild take. Lmfao the mental toll this kind of pain on you is wild af, and yes he encourages others not to get this kind of surgery as you highlighted here because spinal fusions are often unnecessary ( some reports say up to a quarter) I've cut out most of my friends, I've not been within 20 miles of my house other for drs appointments in 7 plus years, like its so hard to be a normal person when your options are such shit

I can’t relate because I’ve been pretty healthy most of my life, but the point still stands. I feel strongly that the world will improve if sane people with moral integrity are pushed into the spotlight, and violent sociopaths are removed from it (ex: the Trump admin).

But he's not some violent sociopath he was literally a normal dude who got fucked by the system and it drove him into isolation and depression, the thought that you'll be in pain every single day till the day you will die and there's nothing you can do to stop it is intense af

I don't think what he did was good, but the sad reality is it took this act of violence to get everyone talking seriously about how terrible the US healthcare system is. Civilized society has failed to address this problem, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that some people are starting to act uncivilized. Hopefully this will be a wakeup call.

I mean the fact that he had written about using a bomb but then chose to not to not harm any innocent people proves he wasn't a violent sociopath, that's exponentially more restraint than the United States or it's allies have ever used
