Dr. Oz is full of shit . He peddles refuse advice on his scraps TV show . And that ’s not just my legal opinion . It ’s science ! skill which tells us that Dr. Oz give advice that ’s baseless or wrong abouthalf the prison term . But now his peers in the medical residential area arespeaking out .
Astoundingly , Dr. Oz is the vice chairman and prof of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons . Which are prestigious positions at a prestigious institution . But should someone whose promotesridiculous system of weights loss curesandanti - GMO hogwashreally bear these view ? A new alphabetic character address to the dean of the medical school at Columbia University tell no .
AsSkepchick reports , a group of prestigious medico have finally had enough . Their letter to Dr. Lee Goldman , the James Byron Dean of the Columbia University medical school appears below .
pricy Dr. Goldman :
I am writing to you on behalf of myself and the undersigned colleagues below , all of whom are distinguished physicians .
We are surprised and dispirit that Columbia University ’s College of Physicians and Surgeons would permit Dr. Mehmet Oz to fill a module appointment , let alone a older administrative stance in the Department of Surgery .
As describedhereandhere , as well as in other publications , Dr. Oz has repeatedly demonstrate disdain for science and for evidence - base medicine , as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetical engineering of food crop . high-risk of all , he has manifested an rank lack of wholeness by advertise quack treatments and cures in the interestingness of personal financial addition .
Thus , Dr. Oz is hangdog of either horrid conflicts of interest or blemished judgements about what constitutes appropriate medical intervention , or both . Whatever the nature of his pathology , member of the public are being misled and endangered , which makes Dr. Oz ’s presence on the faculty of a prestigious aesculapian institution impossible .
The letter was signed by ten doctor from place like Stanford University , the American Council on Science and Health , and the University of California , San Diego . It ’s unclear how Dr. Goldman will reply , let alone whether he ’ll do so publicly . But at the very least this letter helps publicize the fact that Dr. Oz keep on to peddle garbage .
You ’d think that having to testify in front of Congress and admit that much of what you say on your show hasno science to back it upwould’ve done that already .
