So, he wasn't denied care? Just had an unsuccessful surgery? This isn't looking like a referendum on health insurance companies after all.

we don't know other than he has back issues that he had a surgery for and he is not happy with results.i have come across a lot of clients with back issues/pain and it usually something that is never cured just treated/managed with meds,shots,physical therapy,massages etc.surgeries are risky and can make issue worse but this risk usually would be disclosed by the surgeon before the procedure so patient decide if it is a risk worth taking.that said i did have medicare client tell me he paid for a stem cell procedure out of his pocket and he was no longer in pain .

If he seriously hurt his back then there was likely no surgery that was going to return him to his pre-injury condition. I had a herniated disk in my neck that I had repaired about 3 years ago. While I am in A LOT less paid post-surgery, I will never be able to lift weights again, and any prolonged exertion causes me pain.

I'm curious how he knew about a B&T Station Six (if that is actually what he used - I don't trust much that I read). I know a thing or two about handguns and I had never heard of this weapon nor the history behind it.

Also, prison is the last place you want to go if you have a bad back and you come from a wealthy family. He is going to hate life.

Educated doesn't mean experienced. Smart people still make mistakes. Being an amateur assassin is an on-the-job training type job that doesn't allow for many mistakes.

Some mistakes are not very smart.

Critical thinking is more OJT or Nature over Nurture. IMohsoHO
