Dr. Blaize: I think you had me reinstated as your last official act before they booted you as president because I am the best oncologist around and you would like to get the best treatment.
Glassman: Yeah. So, I’d like to ensure that the brain — in this instance, my brain — stays as dry as possible during surgery, maintain minimal swelling. I would still like to be able to swing my 9-iron when we’re done here.
Dr. Blaize: Of course, it’s also possible that you had me reinstated because you’d like an oncologist who thinks they owe you and you want to push them around.
Glassman: Look, Dr. Blaize, I am like any other patient, entitled to have a say in my own treatment, but unlike any other patient, I have spent my entire adult life digging into people’s brains. So, if you think I’m going to sit around and watch, you’re mistaken.
Dr. Blaize: Well, if you think you can operate on yourself I’d happily add you to the list of potential surgeons.
