Everybody Dies -- at Least Once
I just watched Ghost Town this week. It is a great comedy and I am definitely going to use a few clips in my Health Law I class this fall --- so students can identify all the legal errors. Basically, Bertram Pincus (played by Ricky Gervais), had a colonoscopy and can now see ghosts walking around New York. He assumes the explanation is that something unusual occurred during his procedure. In this clip, he confronts the surgeon, who (with the hospital lawyer) explains to Bertram that he "died for seven minutes."
