Could this have driven him to kill? Knowing nothing about the type of injury Mangione had, Michael, like everyone else, seeing Mangione's X-Ray, became curious and here turns to expertise from Dr. Todd Albert, a leading spinal surgeon. Listen to his perspective here, and reaction from the audience as to the severity of chronic pain issues and how they might drive someone to do something unthinkable.
