B.c in modern society people don't eat enough whole foods, get good sleep b.c of alcohol and other over stimulation, not enough outdoors/consistent movements/exercise, have to be saddled with too much stress etc and end up slowly killing themselves (in unnatural ways) without realizing or potentially caring
He worked 4 nightshifts in A&E in UK, and he tabulated the 120 patients. He thought that most middle-aged patients with heart problems were only there due to their lifestyle choices in the previous decade(s).
He tried to argue that if we had more preventative/proactive health decisions then A&E wouldn't be overrun with sick people. He implied they should be the dying of old age instead.
He said they failed to save an 8 year old girl who ate a button cell, because the department was overrun with people with acute emergency issues due to lifestyle. She died after arrival (he talked about how the electricity can cause fatal damages).
I didn't find his conclusions made sense to me, but I still felt the video was worthwhile watching (especially if you are middle aged like me).
