Take this Oscar winning medical movie quiz. Who Is Oscar?

Beginning in 1929, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognized outstanding films with awards in various categories. But in 2013, the awards ceremony title was officially changed to "The Oscars" instead of The Academy Awards. Winners are presented with a copy of a statuette, officially the Academy Award of Merit, now better known by its nickname, "Oscar." Who was Oscar? The origin of the name is disputed. One popular explanation is that an Academy staff member noted the gold plated statue's resemblance to her Uncle Oscar. The trophy was officially dubbed the "Oscar" in 1939.

The movie is based upon a book with the same title written in 1973 by Oliver Sacks, who describes his experiences treating these patients with L-dopa, a new drug at that time.^[1] Williams subsequently won an Oscar as Best Actor in a Supporting Role in the 1997 film, Good Will Hunting.

This 1944 World War II movie set in the Caribbean features Humphrey Bogart, who subsequently won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in The African Queen. In To Have and Have Not, Bogart saves the life of a French Resistance fighter by removing a bullet from his shoulder. Lauren Bacall, appearing in her first movie, assisted Bogart during the operation. Bogart eventually married Bacall, who became his nurse when he became terminally ill with esophageal cancer. In the movie world, bullet removal is often the film's dramatic highlight; in the real world of medicine, many bullets can be safely left alone.^[2]

I certainly disagree because most suffer with lead poisoning. We specialize in ozone chelation to remove heavy metals. How much lead do you have stored in your body? We test and treat elevated heavy metals.
