Actor Bob Odenkirk Says He Ignored Conservative Doctor’s Health Advice, Admits He Was Right After Getting Heart Attack

TRANSCRIPT:

ODENKIRK: “My doctor was a conservative. He got crankier and crankier the older he got. I [bleep] hated this side of him that I only learned over time. He said, ‘you need to start taking statins right now.’ And I said, ‘well, I don’t know. I don’t have heart disease in my family.’ He goes, ‘just take them.’ And I had a heart attack. And I think the first doctor was right. The cranky conservative jacka** was right. Because he was god*** good doctor. His political point of view doesn’t have anything to do with his ability to judge your health and your health choices and needs.”
