In this YouTube short, the speaker denounces the tendency to trust individuals solely because they hold an MD title or present a professional appearance, labeling such trust as a gateway for thieves. He highlights how older adults—particularly those in their 50s to 70s—are repeatedly taken advantage of by a system they trust, often without realizing it. Drawing from his experience running workshops that attract dozens of seniors each month, he emphasizes the need for a dedicated, long‑term advocacy program that supports these individuals over extended periods (e.g., three years, six months, nine months) rather than offering one‑off assistance.

People really need to stop believing people because they have an MD after their name or they wear a suit and a coat. These are all thieves. What has to change is somebody has to get someone who literally will look out for them, not only today but 3 years, 6 months, 9 months, put together program. What is a 61-year-old woman coming to you for the first time? All my career, these people are coming to me. When I used to send out 10,000 wedding style invitations a month, and I used to see 30, 60, 90 people a month in these workshops. They're 50, 60, 70 years of age. This system has been taking and taking and taking from them, and they had no idea they were being taken.
