00:00Dr. Davinsky texts me, do you think you can get on a phone call?
00:06The team has all looked at your MRI busy.
00:08Do you think you can get on a phone call?
00:10Dr. Davinsky says to me, I'm just going to say this to you the way I would want someone
00:15to say it to me.
00:20And that was when I was like, the wind like sort of knocked out of me.
00:29And I like had to sit down and he was like, I need you to breathe.
00:35I can hear that you're not breathing.
00:37And I was like, just tell me what's happening.
00:39And he's like, this isn't any of those other things that they said it could be.
00:45This is a real tumor and it's inside your brain.
00:51And busy, it's got to come out.
00:53We got to take it out.
00:54My lawyers and agents had like called me that morning and they're like, Cupertino's happening.
00:58So I'm like, Cupertino's happening.
01:00I have a brain tumor that has to come out of my head.
01:04What are you saying to me right now?
01:06He's like, it's definitely not glioblastoma, but this is the problem.
01:09We don't know what it is.
01:11And I was like, Oren, I just got this TV show.
01:12I cannot, I can't not do this job.
01:17What do I do?
01:17And he's like, okay, I'm going to put you on with Dr. John Galfinos.
01:22He's the chief of neurosurgery here at NYU.
01:25He was like, we got to do brain surgery.
01:28We've got to take this tumor out of you.
01:29Why do we have to do this?
01:30Because we don't know what it is.
01:32We won't know what it is until we biopsy it.
01:34Well, why can't we just biopsy it?
01:36Because there's no way to stick a needle through your skull into your brain and get a biopsy
01:40of a tumor that's inside your brain without cutting open your skull and going into your
01:46brain.
01:46And at that point, why wouldn't we just take the entire tumor out?
01:50And so as soon as the logic of that, you know, was presented to me by Dr. Galfinos,
01:57I realized, oh, I'm definitely getting brain surgery.
