Back in the United States, the doctor revered as a god by thousands of thankful Indian children raises money for his charitable work from a mouse-infested Brooklyn apartment, just barely getting by on social security and somehow sustaining himself on Chinese take-out. Needless to say Dr. Dicksheet isn't your average medico, because in addition to playing the lottery and enjoying the frequent glass of wine, this selfless eight-time Nobel Prize nominee manages to improve countless lives while wheelchair bound, making due without a larynx, and suffering from a life-threatening aortic aneurysm. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
