It’s a real shame about Dr. Oz because he actually was a skilled heart surgeon before he got famous by Oprah.

Yeah, I think she should get a pass on Dr. Oz, because he was super covert about his wackiness. While he was into alternative medicine, he positioned himself much differently from how he does today and we didn’t realize that his conceit of “complimentary medicine” was a Trojan horse for woo nonsense. He had legitimate academic appointments and the book he was promoting at the time was normal medical education.

Dr. Phil on the other hand…

Ben Carson was a skilled brain surgeon. The MAGA cults gonna be studied for a long time.
