Dr Oz Rhetorical Analysis

Decent Essays
I recently just watched a clip of Dr. Oz on Jimmy Kimmel. I know Dr. Oz is very commercialized, but watching this clip and him discussing surgeons and their relationships with nurses and their patients stuck out to me. One thing that he said that stuck out to me is when he states, "You have to keep your ego in check and you have to be confident enough. Because surgery is ultimately controlled arrogance. We have to think we can open the best of a child with a heart the size of a peanut and then fix the insides of it. That does take a little arrogance, but it is the controlled part. That's important because when you overstep you start doing crazy things" He then goes on to discuss how his nurses keep him in check and how their work together is

    Trust was built, not only for Ron, but also for Denver. Until the situation presented, Ron still questioned the ability to trust Denver, and Denver questioned why he should be trusted, and why Ron would trust a homeless man with his money, truck, and daughter’s possessions.
