There's No Oncologist in ER, Dummy!
(Another tip o’ the cap to Phil)
Michael Crichton, god to dino fanboys after writing Jurassic Park and getting Steven Speilberg to bring brachiosaurs, triceratops, velociraptors, gallimimuses, dilophosauruses, and tyrannosaurus rexes to life on screen, has died at the age of 66 following a stealth battle with cancer. The former Harvard Medical School student put his medical background to good use as author of the Andromeda Strain, director of the thriller Coma and creator of ER – the Anthony Edwards-George Clooney version, not the Elliot Gould-George Clooney version, before John Wells ruined the show by besieging County General with tanks, helicopters, and the bubonic plague on a weekly basis. Other novels included The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Eaters of the Dead, Congo and Sphere, Rising Sun and The Lost World. Per his last request, his DNA has been frozen should scientists in the future feel the need to start a race of 6-foot-9 novelists.
