"really? It only took us two hours."
Mr Wiener's chaos and doom prediction was funny also.
After my 3rd chemo treatment and it was obvious that the strongest anti nausia meds available werent working (puking in his treatment room wastebasket during treatments makes it pretty obvious) my doc said.
"Im not supposed to be telling you this and I cant get it for you but if you can get it you might give pot a try. There is some medical research that indicates it can help with the nausia and vomiting and for some reason smoking it is more effective then in pill form"
It helped
Another point of ridiculousness. In confirming what my doc said by asking another oncologist (took me exactly 20 minutes. Pen & Teller must live 2 hours away from a doctor, or perhsp they were asking the wrong type of doctor)
anyway. thiafter confirming what my doc had said. he went opn to complain that he had a patient suffering from terminal bone cancer and that had he had his choice he would perscribe Heroin for pain because it works better and he would at least be coherant enough in his last days to be able to interact with his family.
But he cant. Because "heroin is illegal to perscribe and the patient might become addicted"
