Guest Bio
Dr. Buck Parker is a trauma surgeon and also specializes in expert medical opinions on the Web, radio and TV programs nationwide.
You may have seen him recently on the new Bear Grylls & NBC survivor Reality Show The Island. Dr. Buck functioned as a cast member as well as their primary medical expert on the show.
He's found the problem with medical information, whether it's reporting the latest celebrity medical emergency, or getting advice on how to avoid the latest health scare, is that most doctors have really bad social skills and don't know how to communicate these situations in an easy-to-understand way, to all the rest of us normal people.
Dr. Buck solves that by relaying his medical knowledge to people and the media through the web, TV and radio in an uncomplicated and entertaining way. Not only do people really understand what's happening, but because it's delivered in a fun way, people enjoy staying tuned in.
The reason why he loves doing this is because during his residency he realized 90% of patients had that "deer in headlights" look when other doctors were talking to them. Dr. Buck knew those patients needed a better explanation of their medical situation. He also grew up in a loud and crazy Italian family, which meant he had to be very entertaining just to be heard at the dinner table! So, for those two reasons, combined with the fact that he is a surgeon and we all have a huge egos, made giving his medical opinions out on the web, radio and TV a natural fit. - Length (mins) 10
