People are dying. Evil has become institutionalized. Corporations make billions of dollars off the pain, suffering, death, and anguished cries in the night of millions of Americans.

Based.

I got it from the top commentā€™s source, which, it seems ā€œclaimsā€ to be his story.

Fortunately, back pain is in the drug formulary. Claim approved.

He did everything right and believed in the system.
And then he himself, or someone close to him, got a diagnosis that ensured life-long medical debt and poverty.

He seems to have had a spinal surgery and had pins put in his spine. Books heā€™s looked at seems to indicate chronic pain and fights with insurance companies.

It was exactly what every single person thought who wasnā€™t paid to think otherwise.

Had exact same fusion performed.

4 screws, 2 rods to connect them, and a 3-d sintered titanium cage between the vertebrae.

I can attest to the chronic pain and wanting to armor a bulldozer

chronic pain conditions are something our healthcare and disability systems specifically donā€™t handle well and I havenā€™t met anyone suffering from them that doesnā€™t want to [redacted].

my experience with it has been nebulous and hard to diagnose but incredibly disabling. certain treatments like acupuncture or cupping that specifically target fascia, or shit like somatic therapy, arenā€™t really legitimized by insurance so absent of a diagnosis with a known intervention your choices are to go to a pain clinic and take something possibly addictive or pay your way into alt medicine providers who can either be exactly who you need or hokey grifters.

and I can only imagine the hell that insurance companies put you through for surgical interventions they are supposed to cover but definitely donā€™t want to. reading my partnerā€™s rejection letters from her company disability provider has been fucking fascinating

ITT: some really healthy skepticism over some of the ā€œevidenceā€ allegedly written by the shooter. Iā€™m kinda impressed. Some other lemmy communities are leaning harder in to conspiracy ideas (planted evidence or whatever), but quite a few of the comments here are taking the time to analyze the info.

We really just donā€™t know yet. And likely wonā€™t know until the trial (if there even will be a trial).
