And perhaps Stephen Strange might be just as demented, because he says: “To the contrary, I was about to say I’d probably have done the same thing. I did my MD/PhD simultaneously. And when I first started my sorcery training, I used astral projection in my sleep so my spirit could keep studying while my physical body was unconscious, which I just saw as a colossal waste of time— but it sounds like you might actually have me beat on the multitasking front.”
