Glenn Beck discusses the now famous Glenn Beck Surgery Video he posted on YouTube.


As reported on ABCNews.com, Glenn Beck advocates the need to “put the ‘care’ back in health care.”

Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck returned to the airwaves Monday night with a stern message for the health-care industry, after a recent routine outpatient procedure turned into a medical nightmare and had a severe impact on his mental state.

Beck went in for hemorrhoid surgery and experienced breathing problems while he was at the outpatient facility. His doctors put him on a drug cocktail to ease his pain.

“I had the best doctors,” Beck said on “Good Morning America” today. “I had problem with medications.”

The doctors warned Beck he only had two options.

“You’ve got a choice: more pain or more drugs,” Beck said his doctors told him. At the time Beck wasn’t aware of all the medications he was ingesting.

“I had a drug in me that was 80 times stronger than morphine,” he said.

The cocktail had an impact on Beck’s mental state.

“I had been convinced that life wasn’t going to change. It was just not worth living. It was scary place,” he said.
