Doctors NEVER misdiagnose???? I work in a medical center so I need no input or response to that question. On a personal note I am partially deaf in one ear due to incompentency during a tonsillectomy. Dcotors are not flawless nor will they ever be.Decisions are made either A) by evaluating concrete data and tangable findings, or b) by judgement and/or speculation.
I'm sure if a "red flag" came out during a medical review, it would not be ignored and the contestant would be denied. If it was ignored that would be incompetent and I am NOT making that "pretty big accusation."
On the other hand, Production also goes by judgement or speculation to cast players. All I'm saying is based on Mike's physical condition, Production made a horrible "judgement" call. Par for the course...unfortunately.
