Get well soon, Dr. Steve!

Dr. Steve called in to Opie today and apparently he's got some kind of medical issue. He said he slurs and stumbles like a drunk and has even fallen in the shower. His fingers are numb and they aren't positive about what's up.

He's one of the best guys from the show and is always cool about dealing with the bullshit associated with it. I wish him a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Doc!

I have no particular medical expertise, but have they tapped his knee with a tiny mallet?

They did, it leaked fluuuuuuuuuuuuuuid

Fluid n' a MASSSSSSS... And TISUEEeee.

Seriously Dr. Steve's just a good dude. Hope he gets better soon.

Agreed, love him and hope he is going to be ok.

Shit, I hope he's alright. Get well soon, /u/drsteve103!

Dr. Steve is a good man, always trying to help out.

He's probably the only one in the world who would fake an attempt to save the people of this sub caught in a gas chamber by jangling the keys around and purposefully mixing them up

Dr. Steve is a really good guy, helped me out via email, he was generous with his time and expertise, and there was nothing for him to gain from it except my thanks.

Thanks /u/drsteve103

Apparently Dr. Steve is a moderator of /r/science. Cool shit.

Shit, better call Dr Steve and see if he knows what it is.

All of his symptoms are consistent with severe boredom, likely contracted from the O&J show.

Unfortunately, there's still no cure.

I found a cure... listening to episodes of O&A from 2009 - 2012

No, that's just hospice care. Thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Steve is proof that you can be an O&A fan and not be a terrible person. Hope he gets better.

I called Dr Steve once when I was having an issue with reflux. He texted me back to tell me what to do and then again later to follow up and ask how I was doing. Nicest guy. Hope it's nothing serious.

You'd think the Blackhawks had top notch medical team but guess not

They do. I just needed a second opinion. Dr. Steve told me I needed to change my diet. He said, "You gotta stop eatin' so much pussy, Chippah!"

Is he going on the U.S.S. Waterbuffaler too?

He's going to The U.S.S. Waterbuffaler in the sky

Idk when the ship is coming back to shore but I'm sure there's room for him

Steve's a cool cat.

I'll be praying to my dark lord Satan for a speedy and full recovery.

Hail Satan!

Pray to Denny instead, he gets results.

Hmm... tell me more about your God. Is there any piss involved?

Copious amounts. Did I mention its fresh AND hot?

Frothy with a hint of asparagus?

A hint of diabeetus as well.

Denny The Piss Lord.

Bungvox?

Dr. Steve is a good egg, I hope he's ok.

He's a fucking great egg :(

Not Dr. Steve. Anyone but Dr. Steve. :(

But in all seriousness, preferably opie.

:)

Guys like Dr Steve and Denny are why I still listen to the show, its kind of cool hearing an obviously experienced professional talk about what they're doing with an occasional AIDS joke.

Bust your ass, go to med school, bust your ass, become a doctor, bust your ass, practice medicine, end up next to a large ungulate on the U.S.S. WaterBuffaler.

It's opiate withdrawal. The people at the hospice finally caught on to his painkiller stealing, shooting up in the stairwell ways.

In all seriousness though, hope he's alright.

In all seriousness, opiates are delicious.

I'm itchy

I'm trying nod to be obvious nodding at my desk.

Stay cool.

Nigger who you tellin'?

Fuck. Good luck bro.

Dr. Steve is a kind person, I hate that this is happening to him.
Hope the diagnosis is better than predicted here.

Dr. Steve always helps out people on the show, especially Lady Di, he is a very kind man. Hope he gets well soon.

Sounds like ALS

More likely Multiple sclerosis. ALS is extremely rare, despite all the attention it gets.

I seem to remember him saying that he had an operation on his eye because his vision was slowly degenerating, which I think is also a possible symptom of MS.

Yeah, but that vision loss is from scarring of the optic nerve - I don't think an operation would correct that.

It could also be due to a gross accumulation of ocular fluids

I was recently diagnosed with MS. Numbness in my hands, feet and legs. Occasional stumbling. Hope he's alright.

MS is fairly easy to confirm with MRIs of the brain and spine.
My uneducated guess is undiagnosed Lyme disease.

Hopefully he gets the treatment he needs more. Dr Steve really does seem like a great human.

Yep. Close friend of mine was just diagnosed at age 45 with MS. He had all of those symptoms. Luckily getting it while older is a lot more manageable. Best of Luck Dr Steve

Actually it's the other way around -- if you get it while you're young, it tends to be more manageable because you can get at it early with disease-modifying drugs. Primary-progressive MS has an onset of ~10 years later than relasping-remitting MS.

[deleted]

It really does. Although, I would imagine he's on the older end of the spectrum for an initial diagnosis.

If there's anyone we like on this graveyard of evil it's Dr. Steve. Get better Sir.

Poisoned by his own wine

Toilet wine death is a motherfucker...

Try the wine

Suk Mai Pino!

The same thing has been happening to Vos for the past twenty years and nobody cares.

Get better Dr Steve.

get well, get well soon, we want you to get well!

get well, get well soon, we want you to get well!

Oh, what a stirring little anthem of wellness.

Elaine says this to J. Peterman on Seinfeld

I know...my comment was Peterman's quote about the song. Come on, Chris!

I forgot!

Thoughts and prayers.

In all seriousness, Dr. Steve is probably the nicest human being associated with the show. I really do hope he gets better as soon as possible.

Dr Steve is cool as fuck.

Hope he gets well soon.

I have annoyed Steve with medical questions on more than one occasion and he always helps me. Just throwing in my 2 cents that he's probably the nicest guy associated with O&A.

Let's all remember the time he decimated DeRosa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmapvkNs4c4

One of the few on the show I can sincerely say, hope all is well Dr. Steve!

If it's something bad, I wish that surgeons remove it and implant it in Opie

Good luck Bro!

Get well soon, Steve.

Damn. Always liked Dr. Steve.

Fluid.

He has literally helped me before. Get well Dr. Steve. You are the man.

I thought we were all "haters" and we had some mysterious "endgame." Dr. Steve is getting little other than love.

wtf? just learned about this. Dr Steve is one of the best of the best and why:

Because every fan just idiotically antagonizes him with dumbuckery and yet HE STILL helps us. I mean seriously he helped me with something.

What a good man.

Holy hell he's suffering while Tits and Worm are living well with Gynomastits and AIDS. Anthony's worst consequence is cosmetic surgery that can only cancel itself out.

Dr. Steve, stay away from any train tracks. That Lady Di curse is strong.

poor little feller.

hope he recovers. that man is a saint

Get well soon, Dr. Steve

I used to send him a lot of my medical issues on here and he helped a lot.

For context, he sounded pretty confident that they had the issue itself solved (it sounds like an Ebola strain), and it appeared that, now that they had it pinpointed, they'd be able to figure it all out. Certainly hope that's the case; best wishes.

It's E. Coli, stupid

Wait what about e-golf-a?

tsss yeah or e-plate-a or somethin

[deleted]

I fucking love Dr. Steve. He is a major dude. Feel better pal!

Get well soon Dr. Steve!

You always seemed like a genuine dude that for some reason involved himself in a world of creeps and assholes.

Sounds like a nasty case of the sniffles.

Neurological?

Sounds like MS, and there's no decent treatment, and he's in denial, so he's doing everything he can to avoid it.

Treatment just came out for relapse type...use stem cells been successful in the UK. Was on BBC yesterday.

I'm a bit worried, my brother woke up with a numbhand ...doctors just said it was a dead hand from sleeping funny.

Doctors usually do that, the most dysfunctional people

I watch a lot of House.

I work with alot of them while I am interning

[deleted]

He's a great guy and a good sport. Hope he's ok.

My grandfather had the exact same symptoms. It took several doctors a few months to figure out that he had prostate cancer that spread to his adrenal gland which somehow screwed up his cerebellum. I'm not doctor so perhaps this chain of events isn't even possible but that's how I understood it.

Steven has never wronged me. Steven is on my nice list.

Maybe it's some fluiiid

Shit, get better Doc.

You are seriously the only one we never ever shit on, that shows your character as a human being.

The world still needs you Dr. Steve.

Get well soon. Please don't let Lady Di outlive you.

good luck, bro

Get better doctor Steve, you're the best

This sucks to hear. Dr.Steve is my favorite person from the show, always helping people and shit. get well soon.

this is really sad, hope he gets better. just a good person who actually helps the world with his work. can't say that about most of the pieces of shit we've listened to on the show, nor for most of the listeners. especially not me. I just got done masturbating when I read this. and I'll probably start up again not too long from now anyway.

Get well, Dr Steve!

I wish him all the best. Any news?

I have no particular medical expertise, but have they tapped his knee with a tiny hammer?

AhHPreLLllL fAAwlLLLLsS?

sounds like lupus

it's never lupus.

Except that one time it was lupus.

Ever gotten double lupus? Loop-de-loops

Rich Vos is playing the Comedy Zone in Harrisburgh PA on January 22 & 23rd.

Oh boy. That sounds like what happened to Bald Bryan from the Carolla show. Not good.

How old is Dr. Steve? I know he has young children.

He turned 60 last year; like Opie he had kids late.

Poor Dr. Steve that's grandpa age.

He should ask Dr Chipperson to look into it.

I hope its nothing too major, and that he gets well soon

Sounds like he's got a strong case of the Opies

This is honestly upsetting news. Get well, Dr. Steve. You're one of the good ones.

Damn I love the doctor Steve out of opie and Anthony and Jim he is by far the most real person that was on the show,and has a great show.

Get well soon Steve

I hope Dr Steve doesn't wind up like Lady Di

Why couldn't it be Opie?

Dr. Steve is a man for all seasons

I actually like his shitty song http://www.doctorsteve.com/2015/02/08/eat-fiber-and-die-1987/

Spinal Buttfuckida

Seriously, though, best wishes Dr. Steve.

AIDS.

Basically the only figure in the inner circle of the O&A universe (2 if you're counting Denny) who doesn't deserve to get a disease. Awful. May you have a speedy recovery, Dr. Steve.

Dr Steve is a good dude. Very well meaning. Hopefully he gets better soon. Good luck bro. Ah peckas.

LOVE the Doctor Steve!

:'(

I've emailed doctor Steve on several occasions with questions about supplements and he always gets back to me. Hope he's ok

So Lady Di is contagious?

Dr. Steve is one of the very few people from the O&A universe that isn't a complete scumbag. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he'll be alright.

Doc Steve is a saint on earth. I wish him the best and hope it's nothing serious.

Of all the horrible scum involved with O&A, Dr. Steve is the familiar connection that normal people can justify being entertained by monsters.

Sucks he's sick.

He truly is a good boy and didn't do anything wrong, in fact, he helped ppl. So maybe the blacks can emulate wha... err...

Get well Dr. Steve!

Such a good dude, always answered my bullshit tweets and comments. Definitely hope he gets well and passes whatever sickness he has to Opie and Anthony.

Really good guy from the show. Hope he gets well really soon.

Steve is a good egg, always been, get well soon!

Dr Steve has helped me out a few times. Awesome dude.

I hope Amy dies and you live forever, Dr. Steve.

Dr. Steve > Pit Doc

God speed, dr Steve!

Get well Dr. Steve!

I initially thought brain tumor, but that can be eliminated by an MRI/CAT in the ER.

I don't know who started the stupidity of ice bucket challenge for ALS patients. They are able to feel hot/cold.

It sounds like MS.

god bless doctor steve!

Hope you get better!

Sounds really serious...

I would rather Opie, Anthony, and Jimmy drop dead right now than lose Dr. Steve prematurely. Not saying much, but still.

ah shit, just found out about this. I hope everything is ok.

My heart beats with a viscous flüd for you, Dr. Steve!

Dr. Steve is one of the best. I hope he's alright.

He's going to end up next to lady di in 5 years. Screaming. Constantly. One of the good guys hope the doc works it out

[deleted]

For real? Damn. He used to talk about him not living the best lifestyle. He would eat junk food constantly due to time restraints.. hope he's OK

Somebody's killing off OnA regulars with poison snicker bars.

[deleted]

It sounds like Guillain–Barré syndrome. He needs to get to a hospital NOW. My Grandpa had it and was paralyzed and stuck with a nursing home with a tube in his neck for 8 years before he died

Doctor doctor, give me the news! I've got a... bad case... of loving you!

Hrrmp hrrr ummmph hmmm

I wish it was a case of Eddie Mercury AIDS.

Womp womp, womp, wa-womp womp... AIDS!

[deleted]

that sucks, like an IT guy who can't fix his own home PC... that has to suck.

It really grinds my gears when some wishes "a speedy recovering" on another.

I forgot what it was called but it had something to do with too much vitamin B in his system being caused by a strain of E Coli in his stomach which was acquired by eating bad meat.

MS from all that shitty wine.

Sounds like his foot could really use a foot-thing

[deleted]

Shit Cumiaitis is terminal.....

If only Patrice were here

If Lady Di outlives Dr. Steve...

Sounds like he's been into that radiator-fermented swill of a wine of his again. Get well soon Doctor S.

It should have happened to Opie.

I'm not sure I like this incarnation of the OpieRadio bot. :(

Unfortunately he's suffering from a mass of phallangular fluuuid. Typically phallangular fluid finds it's way into the vas deferens and the patient can't stop leaking pre-seminal fluuuid.

[deleted]

Dr. Steve, wishing you a full and rapid recovery.

Get well Dr. Steve and by get well I mean buried.

You sure it wasn't Anthony?

HAHAHA if this happened to Opie itd be "Fuck you tits, die a slow and strokely death"

rest in piss steev

I don't care. I'm sick of him pretending to care about Lady Di and being very public about it on social media so everyone knows what a genuinely good guy he is. His calculated virtue signalling nauseates me.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this sub does not share your opinion.

Not everyone is a shitty narcissistic person just because you are. You even made this post all about you. Ever heard of projection?

Humans are animals that operate on instinct.

Sincerely caring about Lady Di (someone outside of his social/familial in-group), is not an impulse that exists within human nature.

Boosting your social status by performing publicly altruistic deeds is absolutely an impulse that exists in human nature.

I hate Steve and I don't care if he dies.

awe cute, someone took some first year intro courses.

Someone must have just read "The Fountainhead" aloud to him.

He should try reading some Sylvia Plath.

I'm not studying any subject, even as an amateur. I just know this from being a human being and observing others. I can't help it that I have a higher level of psychological awareness than you and have more acute pattern recognition.

I'll take the compliment that I come across as educated, though.

You'll make a wonderful, aloof, living alone, dying alone serial killer some day.

Pretty sure he's already there.

I can't help it that I have a higher level of psychological awareness than you and have more acute pattern recognition.

Oof.

you just come off as a trolling chump.

Wow look, it's two retards arguing on the internet. Every day there's something new.

Oh look edgy clown shoe interjects and makes retarded observation.

I want a balloon, cunt.

make me a bicycle, clown!

edgy clown shoe

Good one.

One of the main things that seperates humans from other animals is the ability to feel empathy.

He's probably the only one in the world who would fake an attempt to save the people of this sub caught in a gas chamber by jangling the keys around and purposefully mixing them up

He's going to The U.S.S. Waterbuffaler in the sky

Idk when the ship is coming back to shore but I'm sure there's room for him

He's a fucking great egg :(
