Would you rather, receive open heart surgery performed by Oz, Phil with Nurse McCarthy, or receive lethal injection administered by Dr Phil?
This shouldnt be a hard question, but....
I would definitely let Dr. Oz do heart surgery on me. Similarly, I'd definitely let Ben Carson do brain surgery on me.
And the second either of them started talking about anything other than my surgery, I'd tell them to shut the fuck up.
They've been out of the medical field for so long though. I wouldn't trust them to know the current State of the Art in their fields. A lot has changed since they last practiced.
That is a good point.
I'd rather go play on the expressway
Nah, nah, nah. Easy choice. I'd go with the lethal injection because I think that there's a much greater chance Phil would fuck up killing someone (easy, all things considered), rather than the three of them succeeding in something difficult. Simply because none of them are qualified to do anything but blather idiocy into a camera
Iirc Dr. Oz used to be quite the renowned heart surgeon. Makes it even more tragic that he chose this life as a charlatan giving harmful advice, instead of using his talent for good.
Right, Oz had a specialty he was really good at. Phil was always a grifter.
Everyone who's watch scrubs knows that surgeons are only good at cutting
