I did a little research, it turns out that cardiologist, who testified as the UCLA cardiologist, is actually a gynecologist!<br /><br />http://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-thao-nguyen-2gs6v<br /><br />however, she also appears on the UCLA website as a cardiologist<br /><br />http://www.uclahealth.org/body.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=479&action=detail&ref=122821<br /><br />but it still seems pretty damn odd.

  • Hm, that's odd... I might look into some of this.

    Actually she is...<br /><br />I checked the State of California Medical Boards (it's more accurate than healthgrades.com btw).<br /><br />http://www2.mbc.ca.gov/LicenseLookupSystem/PhysicianSurgeon/Lookup.aspx?licenseType=A&licenseNumber=102447<br /> <br /><br />The only contradictory information is her middle name, everything else is legit. :geek: <br />

    Apparently it's a common Thai name. I have found this children's doctor:<br /><br />
    <br /><br />and this eye surgeon:<br /><br />http://www.lasikmd.com/syracuse/our-surgeons/laser-eye-surgeons/dr-thao-nguyen<br /><br />The latter is connected to UCLA as far as I can see.

    "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

  • According to the ways she was speaking, it is impossible she is a gyno.. She knew too much about the heart, she answered question to the T... Their are too many nguyen, especially in Canada.

    At this point...it wouldn't surprise me if she was both a cardiologist and a gynecologist....and maybe even an eye surgeon. Why not?  Murray is a cardiologist, a dermatologist and an anesthesiologist  8-)  :lol:  <br /> <br /> <br />With L.O.V.E. always.

    <br />Agree.  Perhaps this is not so unusual, though.  My father started off as a gynecologist and later became a cardiothoracic surgeon. 
  • I thought she was really cool....and her jacket reminded me of the jacket in TII.  ::P
