Actually (as an academic surgeon myself) he started as an academic surgeon at a prominent university.
We should never forget how Dr. Oz got his start. He’s been lying to Americans and making us dumber for years. He doesn’t get a free pass from this just because it was a long time ago. He’s always been Americas quack as @gorskon.bsky.social put it.

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: www.themarginalian.org/2019/06/17/t...

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

There are 42 flock cameras between Austin and Dallas. I’ve seen this rodeo before. I was a water/ag researcher where I visited other countries, including China. We don’t need this kind of warrantless mass surveillance in Texas. Sign our petition if you agree >> www.claytontuckertx.com/flock
