Saturday, August 2, 2003 at 11:02 AM Does anyone else absolutely respect Dr. Drew and Adam for getting on the air and giving people a forum to talk about their feelings regarding 9/11? I'm listening to the show right now from the archives, as I never got to hear it during the event itself -- I think this is one of the best shows they've ever done. —Josh P. |

Saturday, August 2, 2003 at 11:28 AM Drew really re-enforced his title as a "passionate, passionate man". I never thought of him the same after that episode. The fact that he admitted he had been weeping the whole day was fine I guess, but when he broke down like an emotional woman and started raving on the air, that's where I draw the line. Drew is a doctor for god sakes. He once said he usually has to file death certificates at least once a day. Don’t get me wrong, I love Drew. It’s just a little disheartening to hear a world renowned doctor talking doom and gloom and crying on national radio when he’s supposed to be comforting a nation that has just been attacked. If anyone has the audio clip of the drop Anderson played of Drew on 9-11-02, I would love to hear it.

Saturday, August 2, 2003 at 1:49 PM Um, I just got finished listening to the 9-11 broadcast and the drop that Anderson played on the 9-11-02 broadcast...Drew wasn't crying, he was just outraged. I'm not sure where you got "crying" and "doom and gloom" from... Considering his admittance of his state of mind that day, I thought he performed in a very eloquent and dignified manner. —Josh P. |

Saturday, August 2, 2003 at 5:02 PM Yes, I thought it was a stand-up thing that they did, taking calls for those wanting advice or just needing comfort after Sept. 11th. Hearing people from whom you've listened to night after night was kind of reassuring. It was a roundtable without the table. I don't see where people get off judging anyone's behavior after that day- it was horrifying and humbling, enraging and frightening. I don't recall Drew being weepy, he was just mortified like most of the population. —Never Forget |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 11:37 AM I wonder why he has to file death certificates every single day. Do that many people die daily when they are going through drug detox? Is that mainly what he does, drug rehab or does he also deal with cancer (Oncologly) and other terminal diseases? —Angel |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 1:05 PM Yeah, not sure why he would have to file that many death certificates. I remember he talked about it once because they were handling a call from a would-be mortician. Drew mentioned it when he was saying how he writes "heart attack" as cause of death because otherwise, the coroner would have to do an autopsy. As far as Drew crying on the air, it sounds like I am mistaken about that part. I am pretty sure he did talk about how he cried earlier. And like I said before, I don’t really have a problem with that. My issue was when he got frantic.

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 3:09 PM Besides his work in the drub rehab hospital (Las Encinas Hospital), he also has a private practice with many elderly patients (who Adam refers to as "old jews" when they page him). His specialty is internal medicine (general physican for adults) with a subspecialty in addiction medicine, board certified in both. http://www.lasencinashospital.com/ —db |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 4:08 PM It must be very difficult for him to see so many patients die like that. He really cares about the Loveline callers. I am sure he is wonderful with his private practice patients in the same way.

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 4:12 PM I remember listening to that show and I don't remember Drew crying or being frantic...then again it's been a while. Most people were a little fucked up that day, so I don't blame the stress (especially on a person like Dr. Drew) getting to some. And I think it was great that they did a show, since about everything else in the country had stopped and they kept going. —clodhopper |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 6:46 PM The strangest thing about the 9-11 show for me was that Adam and Drew were the only one's in the country who weren't all about going to war for revenge. In fact I remember Adam saying how "99% of the people over there are good people and the 1% give them a bad name." Their attitudes sure changed with the Iraq war, which is pretty perplexing. At least the Afghan war a justified. Iraq never did anything to us, but Afghanistan did... —One Nut Wonder |
