He also reveals behind-the-scenes stories from shows he’s worked on, his occasional acting roles, and how he documents every script review as carefully as a medical case. Beyond the Hollywood stories, the conversation dives into medicine, creativity, and balance—how one physician found a fulfilling side career while continuing to practice neurosurgery.
