    An amazing human being.. hide show

    Dr. Drew Pinsky is one of the most intelligent people I've ever heard in my entire life. He is truly an amazing person and I'm blown away by how compassionate and caring he is towards his patients. I think that it is pretty rare these days to come across an individual working in the medical field that honestly dedicates their time to helping people, as much as Dr. Drew does. He should be so incredibly proud of what a wonderful person he is and deserves every accolade/accomplishment that has come his way. He dedicates his work to "rescuing" people who need it the most and I'm sure that he has changed the lives of an exuberant amount of people.
