My wife is an RN - she says that’s pretty close to normal pronunciation. Also o-b-jiney, o-b-giney...it’s an audience full of nurses, so it’s probably practiced. OTOH he definitely said corpse-men...

The most recent televised example was during the speech in the Rose garden on healthcare when they handed out white coats to the attending “doctors”. Pretty much any time he talks about doctors, but you have to pay attention or you won’t notice it.
