True, dude, true, ben may be hiding his passion for animals, I never really noticed that but it is there. Hence the kennel he was at. I can easily see that. Good point.

I was half expecting the Doc to be Christian Shephard instead of Ben. That threw me when I saw Ben.

i think that from what we've seen in these 3+ seasons, Ben can be just about anything and anywhere that he wants and since he is extremely intelligent i doubt he would have problems picking up enough medical knowledge to remove a bullet

He was around Mekheal alot. He was a Army Medic. im sure Ben saw some of the things he did as a medic on the island.

Ben is still very much a mystery...they really haven't told us what he did at the Darma Initiative, so it's likely that he does have some medical training considering how intelligent he is. My question is, WHAT THE HELL IS SAYID DOING WORKING FOR BEN AS AN ASSASSIN??? Please excuse the shouting...I'm feeling much better now. LOL
Oh, and I maybe a newbie here, but I've been glue to the TV set since episode one.

oh for the love of Ben!
He is a teriffic creep. He is powerful but not all-powerfull, and he knows alot but I think he still get's very much surprised by events but because he's use to them and he "exploits" what he can. He has a mission, but it isn't really "island" sent. I think Locke is "island" sent and Ben is in a panic that his reign of terror is at an end.

i agree. i think that ben is intimidated by locke. i believe that this is why he is now off the island and working with sayid. as far as the doctor thing, i'm pretty sure he is smart enough to do what ever the heck he wants.

I think the Kennel was a front so on the outside it looks like a vet office maybe. I asked that question too, I didnt know he had the ability to remove a bullet wound. It def was a lost wtf moment.

Don't forget we also saw on his Zurich passport that he is some kinda of doctor if you notice the red cross sign on on it.

I don't think it was a vet hospital. I think it's a research lab. The Ben thing did shock me though!:eek:

ummm - the red cross sign isn't because he's a doctor, it's because the passport is a Swiss passport (and if you notice, it's not actually a 'red cross', it's a 'white cross' which is part of the Swiss flag.)

i am sure its research based rather than helping folks poorly pets.
and i am not entirely convinced there is only 1 ben.

Hello. I just looked at the passport. DOB shows as 3rd March 1962. Was that the actual date he was born based on the episode I saw?
