Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of ABC’s The Dr. Oz Show, hosted Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to purportedly discuss the results of a recent physical exam and go through “a full review of [Trump’s] systems.” Media organizations should be aware that Oz is infamous for “dubious medical advice” unsupported by evidence, that he has promoted discredited “ex-gay” therapy, and that he is a registered Republican who “donated handsomely” to GOP candidates.

Donald Trump Goes On The Dr. Oz Show To Release Physical Examination Results

ABC News: “Donald Trump Reveals Medical Records During ‘Dr. Oz’ Taping.” On September 14,

ABC News reported that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump “shared the results of a physical examination” from his doctor, Harold Bornstein, on ABC’s The Dr. Oz Show. According to a statement from the campaign, Oz also “took Mr. Trump through a full review of systems” “as all physicians do” with new patients:

.....................................

Bornstein is the doctor who released an exclamatory note about Trump's health earlier in the campaign. He was not believed to be present at the taping of the show. But Ivanka Trump was on hand "to speak further about the childcare and maternity leave initiative that the Trump campaign announced Tuesday night," the statement said. "Additionally, as all physicians do when seeing a patient for the first time, Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump through a full review of systems." [ABC News, 9/14/16]

1. Trump trusting a muslim with his health info. Ironies abound. Isn't he afraid Oz will probe him? nt

2. Ivanka Trump lied claiming their businesses give paid maternity leave. They don't. Only Federally

They give only the Federally mandated 12 weeks unpaid leave.

3. Here are the Oz links at Science-Based Medicine blog.

Mehmet Oz (at sciencebasedmedicine.org)

This blog is hard core medicine, written by physicians. It is the go-to source for medical information, especially with regards to fringe and kooky claims.

I highly recommend this resource.

5. And he is a professor of medicine at Columbia University.

That's another thing Science-Based Medicine addresses, the woo science leaking into academia, even medical schools.

And yes, Mehmet Oz is a disgrace to his field.
