Our first well-sourced deep dive into the history of Mehmet Oz had >800k impressions & 11,900 likes. You know what THAT means?
We doctors are gonna do it AGAIN. There is much to tell about Oz & the media isn't doing it.
So we will.

Oz was all about "magic" cures. In the debate, he said it was just ads for his show, not HIS words.
Nuh-uh. It WAS his words.
Miracle cures from green coffee beans... probiotics... others.
John Oliver delivers the goods. With receipts.

The green coffee beans that Oz raved about? Yup. All flim flam.
So bad that the FTC filed charges against sellers for deception & bogus claims.
Oz never apologized, and never retracted his words. Millions of $ of sales.

Oz went further than bogus weight loss products.
In 2011, he touted the importance of psychics. Yes, an actual doc both claimed psychics are real & that they helped him.
Believe in psychics if you want, but doctors shouldn't be pushing this.

how about shady real estate deals?
Oz has 'em!
He bought a $36M dollar palm beach mansion with the help of a dude named Leslie Evans. That guy? In trouble with the law for fraud; he bilked millions.
Media, how about asking Oz, m'kay?

oh wait, there's more fraud. Oz says he's strong on immigration, eh?
His family business paid the LARGEST FINE in ICE history for hiring illegal workers. Not OK for others, but fine if it makes him rich, we guess?

So here's the thing. We physicians are incensed about Oz.
Why?
Because we are passionate about ethical behavior. We have dedicated ourselves to our patients.
And Oz is a disgrace. A slick TV guy with shady real estate and biz deals? This sounds familiar.....

we are so upset that the media isn't doing their job informing the public about the danger of this guy.... that we are gonna do it OURSELVES.
EVERY DAMN DAY UNTIL THE ELECTION.
Believe us, there's plenty more where this comes from. See you tomorrow.

post script:
we are doctors who believe that every claim needs to be backed up. Unlike Oz, everything we tell you about him, we will provide sources and receipts.
That's how doctors do it.
