I just got recommended this too. Very good perspective on the medical system towards the middle.
He shied away from the obvious real problem (and made a vague gesture towards "the system"), but I'm hoping he will grow a bit more and think about the things he's learned in a broader context. And hopefully share it with his audience.
He also very abstractly pointed towards the idea that all the attributes and habits that his healed patients had were much more likely to be found in financially stable people. But I think he needs a nudge in that direction.
Edit: also, I watched this on 2x speed because he talks very slowly, if that will help someone get through it.
Honestly for a surgeon, a neurosurgeon at that, he's got a lot more empathy and awareness so hopefully he'll eventually get a Che Guevara moment where it all clicks
