Why This Anesthesiologist Quit

newtboy says...

Know who you take advice from....
Just gonna leave this here....

Wiki-
Dr Michael Klaper-In August 1993 Klaper issued a medical certificate for the insurers of two movies that River Phoenix was working on at the time, Dark Blood and Interview With the Vampire. The certificate was signed by both Klaper and Phoenix and stated that Phoenix had never used "LSD, heroin, cocaine, alcohol in excess, or any other narcotic, depressant, stimulant or psychedelic. At the time Phoenix was deeply into the drug scene and died from a drug overdose two months later on October 31, 1993. Phoenix's death resulted in Dark Blood being scrapped, and his role in Interview with the Vampire being replaced by Christian Slater. A total $US5.7 million was paid out by the insurers of both movies as the result of Phoenix's death. Since Phoenix's death, insurance rates have increased significantly, medical certificates are no longer accepted, and actors are required to undergo more rigorous medical examination prior to being insured.

According to oncologist David Gorski "Klaper subscribes to the all-too-common claim that a vegan diet is better than any other and supplements that claim with a belief that undergoing fasts, in which one consumes only water, is a major part of the path to health and wellness". He supports multiple pseudoscience medical claims such as acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathy and border-line "germ theory denialism". Klaper also gives "highly dubious advice for cancer patients, even claiming that fasting can shrink malignant tumors. Klaper claims that fasts will clear up inflammation, eczema, arthritis and other issues. "The situation" according to Gorski, is "way more complicated than Dr. Klaper paints it". As a surgeon himself, Gorski is appalled that Klaper claims that fasting encourages "faster wound healing" a statement that Gorski calls "Bullshit!". Magician Penn Jillette reported on multiple podcasts that he has lost over 25 pounds on Klaper's water fast diet, Gorski responded that of course he will lose weight on a water-only diet. In Gorski's opinion as a medical doctor himself, "Jillette has fallen "hook, line, and sinker for a whole lot of dietary pseudoscience and promoting it on his show with a credulous interview with someone like Dr. Klaper". Gorski hopes that Jillette will eventually realize "that Dr. Klaper is peddling highly dubious claims (at best). Basically, the product Dr. Klaper is peddling in terms of science is a massive exaggeration based on dubious science, cherry picked cases, and bad evolutionary analogies. Worse, fasts, even when supervised by a physician, are potentially dangerous"

Oh my does this take me back to the days...

I remember trying those moves on a cheap supermarket deck with a fiery snake on the bottom (and failing miserably of course). Moved on to a Claus Grabke and then a Nolan Ryan deck. Still without a nosetail back then and all with the ever so fashionable fish shape...

My favourite movie of the time was "Gleaming the Cube" (called "Gleaming Heart" in Germany) and I had neon shoelaces in my LA Gear shoes. Rodney did a double for Christian Slater in that film which can be found here.

This inspired me to post the opening scene of Gleaming the cube featuring a very young Christian Slater and Tony Hawk.

Stoner Brad's Directions-Alternate Take

It's True Romance. Released in Fall of 1993. At one time it was my favourite film. It's written by Quentin Tarantino, directed by Tony Scott, and has, among others Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Bronson Pinchot, Brad Pitt, Tom Sizemore, Chris Penn, Val Kilmer, James Gandolfini, Patricia Arquette... needless to say, just about the greatest cast ever in a crime movie.

I sort of killed it for myself by watching it about thirty times. It's a good date movie if your chick can tolerate some highly graphic gunplay. It seems to get chicks hot more than any other movie in my experience. I suppose that's because, despite all the profanity and viscera, at the core it really is a "True Romance."

Fletch says...

Definitely one of the worst, most boring movies I've ever seen. Tara Reid has attained Ben Affleck status with me, as I shall never again see another movie with her in it. Worst actress ever. Christian Slater sucked too, as if he realized he was in a real loser, and just stuck around for the check.
