I recall seeing an interview like that (him being asked about the abscess) yesterday but on a different channel. It was a head shoot interview.
I have calm down over the UK story. But it is still up in the air if it is true or not. It may have not been a real emergency but Stern may have taken her there to have her checked out. If he hurt her intentionally he would probably be in custody and we would at least be hearing about that part of the story by now.
