Dr.Koos...about a Physician that I believed was the 'Roy Hobbs' of his genre. A genius, the best I've ever seen, and the in my opinion, the best there'll ever be. A REAL-LIFE natural. He possessed the ability to alleviate symptoms and effect cures without even touching so much as his stethoscope or Rx pad. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it possible. One day, an adolescent of approx. 16 years of age was processed through the Triage with complaints of severe chest pains and shortness of breath. I was preparing to perform the preliminaries when my mentor entered the examination area abruptly, imposing as he was at 6'3", 250+ lbs., looking more like a linebacker wearing a lab coat than a Medical practicioner. He took ONE look at the patient sitting on the examination table and said, "Oh CHRIST!", spun on his heel and stormed back out, then seconds later, re-emerged through the curtains and said to me, "I'll handle THIS one". I stood back, eager to see "the Master Blaster" at work. He strode over to the kid, stood directly in front of him and said, "C'MON, C'MON, What is it? What's going on? What's your problem". The kid, now looking even MORE nervous and desperate than when I saw him first brought in, sensed "the Master Blaster's" impatience and blurted out as fast as he possibly could, "Pains in chest, can't breathe!". The cagey Doc made that particular head motion that one affects when they hear something implausable in lieu of saying, "WHAAAAAAAT???", took one step back and looked his patient up and down just once, and then re-closed the gap between himself and the youth firmly stating, "NO YOU DON'T! You're FINE". Now spinning on his heel again and exiting the area, this time for good, he concluded his diagnosis with, "Put your clothes back on and get the Hell out of here...NOW!". I was stunned. The patient was stunned. Not really expecting a positive answer, I fumbled, "Well, do you feel any better?". The kid took a deep breath and said, " Er'.....Yeah!". And he LOOKED 100% better, the color back in his cheeks as well, as he hopped down off the table seemingly ready to wrestle his weight in wildcats!
My point is that instead of criticizing Elliot for HIS decision making capabilities in editing HIS Board, Elliot should get the Nobel Prize!! Through his Board, I was able to effectively induce RunScott to confront his inner demons through his hatred for me. Think of the strides that he and Brueso have made in these past 10 days in both becoming MEN! And I didn't even need a stethoscope or my Rx pad to do it either. Just waving the Pro Mantle in front of their faces, followed by a few truthful, accurate observations was incentive enough to induce their gonad re-generation phase and initiate their healing process!
