Woken by the Fall: Revealing 9/11’s Greater Implications | Dr. Madhava Setty
About this episode
Dr. Madhava Setty is an Author, Physician, and Engineer. He is the only child of parents who immigrated to the United States from South India in 1965. Dr. Setty earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from M.I.T. in 1988 and worked in the Aerospace and Defense industries for six years. In the spring of 1992, he participated in a research expedition to the polar ice cap funded by the Office of Naval Research. That experience at the “top of the world” completely changed his life, leading him to decide that he would no longer participate in any effort that wasn’t directed toward alleviating suffering on this planet.
Dr. Setty received his medical education at Baylor College of Medicine in 1998 and completed his training in Anesthesiology at The University of Pennsylvania in 2002. He became a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology in 2003 and has been in clinical practice since 2002. During the Covid pandemic, Dr. Setty served as the Senior Science Editor for The Defender, the online publication of Children’s Health Defense. He is also the Science Advisor to the International Center for 9/11 Justice.
Closely observing thousands of patients under anesthesia led Dr. Setty to ask fundamental questions about ideas that have long gone unchallenged. What does it mean to be awake? Does awareness require a functioning body, or does it arise independently? He was astounded to realize that our understanding of who we are as conscious beings is based on assumptions that can easily be overturned with open examination. Dr. Setty also discovered that many unchallenged assumptions underpin our understanding of the world beyond the operating room. It’s simply a matter of how closely we are willing to look.
