One of my closest friends is an ophthalmologist, and he ended up on an episode on a TV show called “Monster Inside Me” which is something I would NEVER watch. I’m not into any sort of graphic medical stuff to begin with but eye stuff in particular grosses me out, but it was worth it to see my pal on TV and the guy they had play him in the re-enactment was so different than my friend I got a lot of laughs out of that (my buddy looks kind of like JJ Abrams and the actor they cast was a pretty handsome brown guy who could have been Desi or Latino but def not an Askenazic Jew!
/the weird thing is they hired an actor at all to basically read a diagnosis in the “re-enactment”, which my friend basically had just done by stating the diagnosis a minute earlier.
