I heard Will on the live feeds discussing the fact that he had a hard time finding a medical office to work for because of their concern that patients wouldn't trust him so obviously, it is an issue in his field and I think that is what people were referring to above. It's going to come down to each individual patient and some will trust him and some won't. Personally, I'm in the 'won't' category.

I was skeptical too about the true success of Boogie's ventures. But according to People Mag: Where the Stars Go: Les Deux In one night, the L.A. lounge was a gawker's paradise (Lindsay! Leo! Mary-Kate!) TUESDAY AUGUST 01, 2006 02:00PM EST Lindsay Lohan & Mary-Kate Olsen Photo by: Barry King / WireImage; Eric Charbonneau / WireImage On Friday nights, European-style lounge Les Deux is one of L.A.'s hippest hot spots. With candelabras lighting the peach-and-black rooms, and sexy red leather booths inside and a tree-lined cobblestone terrace outside, the mood is set for its celebrity guests. One recent evening, Leonardo DiCaprio chilled outside in a candle-lit booth as a water fountain bubbled in the center of the patio. Nearby, Lindsay Lohan held court atop a banquette and chatted with pals including Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine as a classic foreign film was projected on one of the terrace's walls. At another table, Mary-Kate Olsen and a female friend chatted with Matthew Perry while O.C. stars Benjamin McKenzie and Rachel Bilson hung out with pals. Meanwhile, inside, Christina Aguilera lounged in a VIP booth with husband Jordan Bratman and friends. They snacked on strawberries, tarts and mini-cupcakes. And in true star fashion, even when her hit song "Ain't No Other Man" got people in the room grooving, the singer didn't even blink.

What an interesting thread! And now I know why Dogdoc's username is what it is! My favourtie part of the whole thing is Ruperbear's use of the word 'glomming.' I haven't heard it for a long time, and it makes me feel right at home - waving my Union Jack, LOL! Keep up the good work everyone, I meant it, this is a very interesting thread.

Perhaps the way someone participates in a message board discussion reflects who he or she is in real life. Takes a lot of heart to defend ones position about a game show!!! by minimizing the accomplishment and rigor of another member's education and profession. For my money, I'd rather have Chicken George express my dog's anal glands than Will or Kaysar.

Just a quick add about Woogie needing money and their spending habits. I am a VERY frugal person or as my husband would put it, a real tight ass with the cash. This has nothing to do with how much money we have now. We are more than comfortable. It has to do with the money I did NOT have as I grew up. Your past often dictates how you manage your money. Because my family always struggled with their income when I was a kid I am very careful with the money I spend, or in many cases choose not to spend, as an adult. Thanks for letting me express my opinion.

For what its worth, i saw boogie on "girls next door" toadying up to the hef at a sushi restaurant. Boogie's demeanor was so different that i barely recognized him. Yeah, he's in the game, but as someone else said, i think as a "1 % owner."

lol Outlaw, your dog would die before K got around to making a decision, planning the route of attack, explaining to his assistant ALL the reasons for his decision and then to implement the procedure. Poor doggy. George may have some farm animal experience but I think I'd go with the licensed professional, Will. Better yet, call DogDoc.

The person who said that a good doctor would have gone to a more prestigious school is completely wrong. The more prestigious schools cater to those who rarely even practice medicine in the normal sense, most of those people are the ones who are interested in doing research, etc. - hence need the big names and connections to get grants, etc. Plus, there is not one "big name" in medicine - different schools are known for different specialties, for example, in the late 70s University of Iowa was one of the leading cardiology centers. Also, if I remember correctly, Will is not an MD, he is an Osteopath.

lol DogDoc, that was quick, can't ask for better service than that! I like DOs, they get more patient-empathy training and are usually not as arrogant as some MDs can be.

will is not an osteopath. he is an accredited physician. Born in Florence, Italy, Dr. Will Kirby has a degree in Biology from Emory University, which he received in 1995. He graduated with a medical degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2000 and did his first year of postgraduate training in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center & Miami Heart Institute in Miami Beach, Florida in 2001. His Dermatology residency training took place in association with Western University/Pacific Hospital where he served as Chief Resident in the department of Dermatology. he is a licensed physician in California.

Boogie's restaurant ventures really are successful in the LA area. His name is not anywhere near the top of the list of those associated with them as they have the big-name celebrity investors. That's what creates the buzz for them. I have only eaten at Geisha House - had a great meal, did not see Boogie. His ongoing promotion with the shout-outs and t-shirts is well worth his time this summer, no matter where he finishes the game.

We have MDs and DOs working at our medical center and ungoing internship. Both groups are professional and licensed doctors. Both groups undergo vigourous med school training.

That's interesting, Landi. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Will indicated he was a DO during Season 2.

A DO is an accredited and licenced physician. They also call you by your name and refer to you by your name, not the hernia in exam 1 or the crotch-rot in exam 2.
