I believe David Renwald was involved in extreme sports earlier - the kind of personality that would be willing to take risks. Maybe the writers were trying to enhance this in the character (he was a fighter) - I understand the problems this kind of TV persona can create when you have people in RL who are dealing with similar health issues as doc stated. I guess it's important to remember this is a TV show and the writer "take liberties" to create the character they want. We can only hope that DJE's portrayal of DR doesn't dwell on the use of marijuana as a way of making through each day. -- Close to Harm: James Conlon

In reply to: lska 's message, "Because, not even having seen the scene, it tells you a lot about the character. It tells you that he's not willing to sit alone and in pain in a dark room without doing something about it. He hasn't given up on easing his symptoms. And it tells you he's willing to go outside normal boundaries to do it. From the writers' perspective, they were able to get across a lot of info with a simple action." on 13:49:27 01/25/08 Fri
