Dr. Isaacs:
your EKG is normal.

1:16:04
Deep breath.
1:16:05
And out.
1:16:08
Now, listen, I don't have
a ready explanation

1:16:12
for your chest pain.
1:16:14
Would you at least consider
taking aspirin once a day

1:16:17
now that you're
on this ridiculous diet?

1:16:18
Maybe.
I’ll think about it.

1:16:20
Why would you even
think about it?

1:16:22
Why wouldn't you
just do it?

1:16:24
This is really --
you know --

1:16:26
you saw
these numbers, right?

1:16:28
These numbers are
absolutely outrageous.

1:16:31
For the first time,
we're seeing uric acid elevated,

1:16:34
so you're giving yourself
hyperuricemia,

1:16:37
and the danger of hyperuricemia
is gout, kidney stones.

1:16:41
The results for your liver
are obscene

1:16:45
beyond anything
I would have thought.

1:16:48
Truly.
1:16:49
I mean...you know that movie
"Death in Las Vegas" --

1:16:53
Nicolas Cage,
that pickled his liver

1:16:55
during the course
of a few weeks in Las Vegas.

1:16:58
I would never have thought
you could do the same thing

1:17:01
with a high-fat diet.
1:17:03
My advice to you,
as a physician,

1:17:05
is that you've got to stop
pickling your liver.

1:17:08
And you're kicking it
while its down now.

1:17:11
Now it's down,
and you're kicking it further.

1:17:14
I mean, if you were
an alcoholic,

1:17:17
I’d say,
"you're gonna die.

1:17:19
You keep drinking,
you'll die."

1:17:21
If the pain starts to radiate
to your jaw or down your arm,

1:17:24
that's life-threatening,
and immediately so.

1:17:27
So I need to hear about that,
or you need to call 911.

1:17:30
All right?
1:17:34
Hello?
1:17:35
Hello.
1:17:36
Hi, sweetheart.
1:17:38
How are you?
1:17:39
I’m good.
I'm worried about you.

1:17:41
Yeah.
1:17:42
I had no idea this was gonna be
such a dangerous experiment.

1:17:46
Yeah.
1:17:48
I don't think anybody did.
1:17:49
The doctor didn't even think
it was gonna be this drastic.

1:17:53
He's floored by it.
1:17:55
And, um...he doesn't
know what will happen.

1:17:58
He says,
"listen, I have no idea."
