After seeing the post yesterday about Chelsea talking about going to law school, and I was thinking about her total lack of education, and then I remembered something. Back when she was focusing on MLM content, she talked about working in "sales" and I she mentioned a few times that she sold people spine surgeries. I know she said in at least one video that she would review people's scans or xrays or whatever and like, sell them spine surgery. I thought, how strange that she was doing that... she has no qualifications for reading medical imaging? Welp.

The place shut down in 2019 after a ton of lawsuits, for both malpractice and various types of fraud, by former patients (including Hulk Hogan[who was a racist POS], for $50 mil. He said he had multiple spinal surgeries that did not work) and a competing spine surgery clinic for all kinds of fuckery. So this whole time when she has been talking about her experience in the workforce, this is what she's talking about.

This is how I know that she worked specifically for Laser Spine Institute:

Obviously Chelsea is not responsible for the shady practices of her former employer, but based on that profile, she started working there almost directly out of high school with zero qualifications just selling people spine surgery? And then used that job for years as an example of ethical sales work? It feels relevant.

This isn't a specific question, but more of a general query. My best friends Granny is 90 years old, and she had a colonoscopy like a month or so ago and they found a baseball sized tumour in her colon. She wasn't having any issues really, just not pooping very often. So they did surgery, which went fine with no complications, but she's not recovering well from the surgery. She went home for like a day, and then spiked a fever and had to go back into the hospital and she's just kind of doing poorly. Before the colonoscopy and everything she was pretty much fine for a 90 year old. But it's just been this like, downward cascade since then.

So my question is, why would they even do all this to someone who is 90 years old? You can't exactly extend the life of someone that old, and the quality of her life was unaffected by the cancer when it was found. I also know that Granny didn't even want a colonoscopy, she said years ago that at her age if she has something she doesn't want to know because she's on borrowed time anyway and she'd rather not spend whatever time she has left worrying about it, so I have a feeling there is some pressure coming from the family but like, what exactly is the point of treating cancer in someone who is that old in general? Is that normal nowadays?
