I don't blame my doctor specifically; I'm usually the last scheduled appointment of the day, and Doc Oz comes on right as I enter the office, so it's simply a case of the tv already being tuned to that channel.

I've been in a number of Oz discussions here in GD, and I'm amazed at the passion of his supporters. His status, his visiblity, and his reach make him among the most dangerous and toxic proponents of anti-science that we've seen in recent years.
