Florida-based Neuro-Spine MD Ara Deukmedjian has co-written & executive produced a new film entitled Spine Scam. Actors involved with the movie have posted some pictures from the San Diego premiere in September, 2025. Deukmedjian may have financially backed the production as well. The story is drawn from his decades worth of experience in the spine care industry.

Many on the internet became aware of this doctor in June 2025 when a recorded livestream video of him verbally berating a nurse and operating team (while in the midst of an ongoing surgical operation) went viral. By mid October the post by The Space Coast Rocket had 398,000 views with 2,600 comments added. On October 28th I revisited the post to discover Facebook censors had edited the metrics to reflect 1800 comments & 205,000 views. Many of the erased comments were submitted those claiming to have experience as past patients of the doctor.

Facebook & Meta have a bleak track record on freedom of speech & preserving civil liberties. So bad that following the 2024 U.S. election they had to do an "about face" on policies that were moving toward the kind of draconian privacy and personal security violations that are regularly present in dystopian science fiction works. But I believe this was only lip service and their core policy remains unchanged.

I am a patient who consulted Deukmedjian in 2022 regarding a very serious broken skull head trauma based injury, evidence of which appears in MRI images I sent to this MD but he refused to acknowledge.

Deukmedjian claimed AMERICAN BOARD OF NEUROLOGICAL SURGERY certification BUT DENIED 6 INCHES OF INFECTION present in MRI images of my head that I sent him! Hear my recorded call later in the video:

My 9/2/2022 Zoom Video Consultation (Free MRI Review) wIth neuro-spine surgeon, Dr. Ara Deukmedjian, licensed to practice medicine by the State Of Florida. He gave me incorrect medical advice when he stated evidence of a broken skull will not show up in an MRI scan! I sent in many of the X-RAY's, CT Scans, and MRI scans you can see on my Youtube Channel, My Medical Nightmare for his analysis in mid- August. At first I was told my images were "too old" but in the last week of August I was accepted for a consultation.

I was in the waiting room before the scheduled 2pm E.T. appointment. Our consult did not get under way for almost 1 hour after the scheduled time.
This Doctor did not allow me to record our meeting via the Zoom software but I had many backup video and audio recorders ready. I was also not allowed to share or interact during the meeting as is possible via Zoom. I had printed out copies of my images I had to hold up to the camera and when I did so the doctor abruptly ended our consultation.
