His character, in the Hangover, is the very example of removed, that self-flagellates and humiliates himself, with his emasculated breeding organ and caricature, that resembles more of Yellow Peril than any Seolman, and reinforces Revacholian orientalism
Heard joke once: Medical professional goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great comic actor Ken Jeong is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor..."
blah blah blah I just don't like his comedy style or acting, that should be reason enough.
Thesis: Ken Jeong should go back to practicing medicine
Antithesis: Ken Jeong should continue acting if that's his passion
Synthesis: Ken Jeong should have a daytime show where he diagnosed funny medical conditions called "What's Wrong, Dr. Jeong?"
No thanks I'll pass on having a doctor who doesn't even want to be a doctor. As Hexboare has pointed out, the number of doctors in the US is artificially limited already.
The number of doctors is generally limited by doctors to keep salaries artificially high.
There is also significant opposition to allowing other medical professionals to undertake basic activities that are traditionally the domain of doctors.
FYI it's limited by doctors lobbying. Residency programs are funded by Congress, and the amount of spending was capped in 1997 and only raised once since, in 2021. And even the doctors are saying it's too low now.
Even between doctors different specialities fight each other to maintain a monopoly on certain procedures, like gastroenterologists and general/gastric surgeon with endoscopy, or any time general practitioners take on a more specialised role to meet a community need, the relevant specialists will complain and denigrate them.
If he can live his life without having to do 18 hour shifts and whatever other absurd conditions USian medical professionals have to work in, good for him.
But have you considered applying the norms that might be relevant in a sane world where education is chosen without coercion and costs are socialized to this world?
No. You haven't. Stupid adorable mind hive.
In falgsc doctors will be forced to be actors
"I don't understand, I thought I'd be diagnosing all exotic diseases with strange symptoms except lupus after the revolution..."
"GET ON THE STAGE"
finally have access to world's most expensive MRI machine costing hundreds of millions dollars and being able to image with extreme detail
It's used as a prop
Didn't he wear a prosthetic private part in the hangovet to perpetuate a stereotype? 
Fucking westerners
He addresses this in a standup act. Apparently no, that’s just his dick.
To be fair, if it was actually a packer or something, wouldn't he still say that?
Agree
this but only because he's bad at it
He can have both, as a treat
