Apparently, he suffered from spondylolisthesis.

Here is the typical surgery done to correct the spine.

And here are images that show how the segments are fused together.



Is it possible that the travelling around the country was in search of a good surgeon to do the operation? With his family wealth, he could afford to pay the best of the best.

Given that the second picture there has four screws in it, I would assume that's what his X-Ray is supposed to be showing, but instead of four separate spine bones, the screws all seem to have been put into just two. Shouldn't he have gone after the surgeon if this was the main issue the guy had?

Going after the insurer doesn't make any sense at this point. Guy is a college grad, comes from a wealthy family, but doesn't know who to go after in what appears to be medical malpractice? Then the Ivy-League Schooling mentioning. This really reads like a typical MKUltra mess more than anything else. 

Let's say that the images in the article are from this guy, and the insurer wasn't going to allow any new surgeries. It's still a medical malpractice suit. So why go after the CEO of of the insurance company?
