Was This In Michael Moore's Sicko Flick?

I highly doubt it and personally I wouldn't know, because you couldn't pay me enough to waste 2 hours of my precious life seeing anything that man produced..except a cookbook maybe.

Regarding medicine, Nearly anyone who has ever been sick in their life as I have with MS knows there's no better place (if there's really any good place to be sick) to occur if it does than the US for your odds of recovery and or even cure to be the highest humanly possible in most cases, regardless of what he and his crockumentary espoused about the US system an it's shortfalls.

For instance, this below is what you get when you or someone you love and care for has schizophrenia or any other mental disorder in China, and it's certainly not the same quality treatment one would receive in the US or any other civilized nation for that matter, it's barely borderline humane judging by their success rate, or should I say lack thereof..

In China, Brain Surgery Is Pushed on the Mentally Ill -click for full slideshow

WSJ.com: "NANJING, China -- Mi Zhantao, a poor 25-year-old living with his parents outside this provincial capital in eastern China, was battling depression and had trouble socializing. Doctors said he had schizophrenia. They recommended brain surgery."

Mr. Mi's family spent about $4,800 -- the equivalent of four years' income, and more than their life savings -- on the operation, at No. 454 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Nanjing. The highly controversial procedure involved drilling tiny holes in the young man's skull, inserting a 7½-inch-long needle and burning small areas of brain tissue thought to be causing his problems.

The surgeon, who operated on Mr. Mi the day he met him, says he has performed nearly 1,000 such procedures, mostly for schizophrenia, but also for illnesses ranging from depression to epilepsy, since the hospital started offering the operation in 2004.

Mr. Mi's parents say the surgery did nothing but leave their son with a partially limp right arm and slurred speech. He continues to be depressed and withdrawn, his mother says. Wang Yifang, the surgeon, says he checked the medical records and, as far as he knows, the patient left the hospital uninjured.Mr. Mi's mother, Kong Lingxia, 50, says she'll regret the decision for the rest of her life.

"I feel so angry," she says. "But I'm really angry at myself. How could I let this happen?". continued
