Gastric bypass on NBC now...
I missed part of it, but managed to catch the story of the man who passed away.
I feel so sorry for his wife and children.
I was so, so glad that Al Roker questioned the doctor on why he did not contact Jennifer (Michael Butler's wife) The doctor did not have a good answer in my opinion, actually I don't think he really had much of an answer.
Doctor's need to realize we are people and not numbers. I think it would gone a long way in her healing process, had the doctor taken 5 minutes to pick up the phone and speak to her, after her husband's death.
