Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
Actor Noah Wyle expresses frustration with fans who persistently ask him to perform emergency tracheotomies on them, referencing his role as Dr. John Carter on ER. While initially flattered by such requests decades ago, he now finds them intrusive and disruptive to his personal life, especially when trying to enjoy family time.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledListen, I love that you love my work, but I'm just trying to grab breakfast with my family right now, not cut through any windpipes, okay?
The first time it happened, 30 years ago, I was very flattered that someone wanted me to save their life.
But it gets old after a while, especially when you're just trying to enjoy a quiet morning with your kids.
I'm an actor, not a real doctor. I played one on TV for 15 years, but that doesn't mean I should be performing emergency procedures in a coffee shop.
