Fellow doctors ask for Dr. Oz to be fired

[Gay Boy Roberto]

Ten doctors wrote a letter urging Columbia University to fire Dr. Mehmet Oz saying he "endangers" the public



"Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops," said the letter addressed to Columbia's Dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine, reports CBS. "Worst of all, he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain."



Oz is a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon and vice-chair of the department of surgery at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, but he's also a television personality with The Dr. Oz Show. And according to medical experts, only 46% of the recommendations on his show were supported by evidence.

Not a surprise. He's first and foremost a lowlife celeb ... not a doctor



I'm surprised he wangled his way into any university position .. that element could use some investigation

[RW]

He was a doctor first then turned lowlife celeb.

Fraudulent asshole. They should pour that green slime juice he hawks down his throat until he drowns in it.

I can't stand celebutards. They are the most overpaid, self-indulgent, greedy, narcissistic assholes on the continent. Having said that, gentically modified food is not always bad. It's not that black and white.

It's not the "overpaid, self-indulgent, greedy, narcissistic assholes " celebs themselves that irks / disappoints me so much .. it's knowing that there are low level humans (sub humans?) among us who worship them

When he promoted something so incredible for weight loss or whatever, it seemed too good to be true.  I know I'm extremely naive (lol) but I even questioned his content on that show.

I have greater respect for some kid cleaning campsites in our national parks than some decadent hypocritical, multi-millionaire braindead celebutard who tells me to consume less while they are living larger than Saudi princes. However, I agree with you. Why on earth anyone with any brain activity would give two shits about their opinions are on anything.

I forgot you left coasters start the season earlier than the Northern prairies. It's about 16 degrees today, but windy as hell. Hopefully the nights will be warm enough in a few weeks that I can start planting. ac_dance
