I just found an article on this site that was a bit of a Verity artcle that talked with Piven's Doctor. He spoke about how the call to have Piven leave the show was totally his and that he feels that the comments like the ones made by Mammet were totally uncalled for. What do you think?

Piven's Doctor Defends his choice on leaving Speed The Plow.

I won't lie, I think Mamet's comment about becoming a thermometer was great.

I agree with you that Mammet's comment was great. But, I will admit that after reading this article about Piven I am more inclined to believe his health issue was real rather then let's say what went on at Pal Joey with Hoff. I say that I am more inclined to believe Piven's story because his doctor spoke to the press and was willing to take the fall. Not the case as far as Hoff was concerned.

Can a Dr. really make a patient quit a job?

No they can't. But, they can advise them on what the best course of action is. I know that people are saying that Enoturage is set to film again shortly. But, from what I understand HBO worked around Piven being in Plow so that they would begin filiming soon. But, they wouldn't be needing him.
