You claim that your doctor started taking you on rounds
as part of your recovery, right?
Yes.
And how did that help with your recovery?
Well it was great.
My wife at the time, Judy, said Gary is an actor,
so tell him he is going to play a doctor in his next movie.
Which I wasn't, there was no movie for me to play a doctor.
(laughter)
So they gave me a long white coat and a clip board.
I went on the rounds with him
and talked to the patients.
Then I would go through their drawers.
I would open their top drawer
and there were socks and underwear in them.
Mess, just a mess.
I straightened it all out
and made it very neat.
That was my first musism.
N.E.A.T. stands for nice, exciting, and tight.
(laughter)
He is referring to the socks.
The balls of socks right?
Yeah, I balled them up.
Made them look like little puppet heads.
Will Gary ever become 100% better?
You know, Gary is amazing.
He will continue to get better
as long as he puts his brain in a healing environment.
The part that's dead in his brain,
we don't have the Lazarus treatment yet
you know to bring the dead back to life.
But we can get the struggling
tissue around it to be better,
so that he can continue to be a great actor, great husband
Great everything.
And a wonderful father
Will I ever get better after this interview?
(laughter)
Is there any help for me?
(laughter)
Yeah!
Your scan is next.
You know what Hope H-O-P-E is a Buseyism for hope?
H-O-P-E stands for Heavenly Offerings Prevail Eternally.
He actually has a glossary of Buseyism's
at the back of the book, and I have
to tell you, these are surprisingly thoughtful and profound.
You have put your heart and soul into this book
and I really commend you for doing it.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm really proud of this book.
(applause)
I want to thank Academy Award nominated actor
Gary Busey and his wife Stephanie for
being here today, I also want to thank Dr.Amen.
Thank you for working with this guy
because he is a treasure and we don't want to lose him.
You can pick up a copy of Gary and Stephanie's book
Buseyisms in book stores and online, and by the way
everybody in the audience is going home with a copy!
(applause)
You're going to have a lot of reading today,
because we're gonna give you Dr.Amen's
Feel Better Fast And Make It Last.
We'll see you next time.
Dr., thank you so much, Gary thank you so much.
