The ER doctor in Heat is a real doctor

I was rewatching Heat (for like the 50th time in my life at this point). I was having fun laughing at some of the stuff that I now see as overly dramatic but I found cool when I was younger.

Anyways, once it got to the hospital (filmed at St Mary's in Long Beach) scene where Lauren is taken after Pacino finds her in the tub, I was very impressed by the actors in that scene – they seemed to really memorize their hospital lingo and make it believable. But as I watched more, I kinda felt like the main doctor had to have been someone they just found at the hospital they filmed at and told him to "pretend this just happened".

So I wound up doing some quick research on imdb and got his name, but he's not credited in any other movie. Some google searching led me to his profile, and everything seems to line up and definitely looks like he was a real doctor, pretty cool:

Also, I think the blonde nurse is also a real nurse too, she seems way to natural in her actions in that scene.
