Dr. Oz Fights Back By Shaming His Critics

The controversial TV doctor said colleagues demanding hisdismissal from the Columbia University Medical Schoolfaculty were headline-hunting.

Never get into a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel, andheres a useful 21st-

century corollarynever attack a guy who hosts his own popular weekday television

show.

Celebrity cardiothoracic surgeon Mehmet Ozhe of the healthily-ratedDr. Ozprogram

that is syndicated nationally by Sony Pictures Televisionconfirmed the accuracy of the

latter maxim on his Thursday installment.

For the first 30 minutes of his hour-long showwhich celebrates its 1,000th episode on

May 7Oz took a chainsaw rather than a scalpel (metaphorically speaking) to his 10

fellow physicians who signed an open letter demanding his dismissal from the Columbia

University Medical School faculty.

The 10 doctors who attacked me got what they intendedsensational headlines and

sound bites, the chiseled, imperially slim Oz said straight to camera, looking earnest and

aggrieved and sporting a gray suit and pink open-necked shirt rather than the form-fitting

blue surgical scrubs he often dons on the show.

Behind himin theDr. Ozstudio on Manhattans Upper West Side, where the episode was

taped on Tuesdaywas a huge wall of unflattering, blown-up photos of eight of the

offending doctors (the other two, whose

photos were apparently unavailable, were

depicted byBatman-style question

marks), in a sinister arrangement that

reminded me (Im sure this was entirely

accidental) of that ubiquitous graphic of

the 9/11 hijackers.

Ive long believed that doctors should

never fight their battles, or each other, in

public, Oz continued. But now I believe I must.

Twenty minutes later, after the good doctor was finished pointing out, via a pre-taped

feature piece, that one of the letter-signers, Dr. Gilbert Ross, is a convicted felon who

spent time behind bars, and another, Dr. Henry I. Miller, is a shill for the tobacco,

pesticide, and genetically modified food industries, among other beauts on the signers

resumes, the only thing left to do was to shoot the woundedafter anesthetizing them, of

course.

Its ironic that Im being accused of conflict of interests by these doctors, Oz declared,

when some of themhave their own conflicts of interest.

After Oz soaked up raucous applause and cheers from his largely female studio audience,

the second half of the show had him hugging and dancing with an elderly audience

member, joking with another about the joys of geriatric sex, and lest anyone dare call him

a quack, starring in a video in which he successfully replaced a faulty heart valve of an 87-

year-old woman on the operating table.

The controversy has been festering since last Thursday when Dr. Miller, the Robert

Wesson Fellow in Scientific Philosophy and Public Policy at the Hoover Institution, a right-

leaning think tank based on the Stanford University campus, released a letter calling for

Oz to be fired.

It was addressed to Dr. Lee Goldman, Columbia Universitys dean of the Faculties of

Health Sciences, where the 54-year-old Oz has taught for two decades.

We are surprised and dismayed that Columbia Universitys College of Physicians and

Surgeons would permit Dr. Mehmet Oz to occupy a faculty appointment, let alone a senior

administrative position in the Department of Surgery, Miller wrote, accusing Oz of

disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, and egregious lack of integrity by

promoting quack treatments [for] personal financial gain, among other crimes.

Whatever the nature of his pathology, Miller went on, members of the public are being

misled and endangered, which makes Dr. Ozs presence on the faculty of a prestigious

medical institution unacceptable.

Although Columbia immediately defended Oz and politely told Miller & Co. to stuff it, the

letter was catnip for the mediagracing tabloids and TV showswhile the Huffington Post

ran Ozs photo under the exhortation, RESIGN.

In a June 2014 congressional hearing, Oz took a beating from Democratic Senator Claire

McCaskill of Missouri, who scolded him for hyping dubious weight-loss products such as

green coffee extract and raspberry ketone.

I dont get why you need to say this stuff

because you know its not true, she lectured

Oz as he squirmed in the witness chair. Why

would you cheapen your show by saying

things like that?

While claiming he believed the products were

effective in many cases, Oz conceded that maybe his language had been over the top

flowery and incendiary.

But on Thursday, Oz vehemently denied to his viewers that he has ever promoted

treatments and cures for personal financial gainsomething I tell you every day on this

program I never do.

Guessing that the nasty letter was prompted by the signers financial relationships with

the genetically modified food industrywhose products are known as GMOs (for

organism)Oz added: I have never judged GMO foods, but just like 64 countries

around the world I support GMO labeling so you can decide on the foods for your family.

Their specific motivation, Oz suggested, was his ardent support for GMO labeling and the

industrys support for federal legislation, recently introduced by Republican

Representative Mike Pompeo of Kansas, that would outlaw such labeling on the federal

level and also rescind state labeling regulations.

Oz was joined on the show by sympathetic guests who variously referred to the letter-

signers as liars and anti-American.

Miller didnt respond to messages left on his home and offices phones, and Gilbert Ross

who runs the industry -backed American Council on Science and Healthsaid in a brief

phone conversation before the show aired that Ozs retaliatory attack would be personal

because he couldnt defend the substance.

Its sometimes referred to as ad hominem, said Ross, who lost his medical license in July

1995 (though it was reinstated in 2004), and served 14 months of a 46-month federal

prison sentence on a Medicaid fraud conviction.

In a press release issued after Thursdays show, Ross opined: Instead of addressing the

primary concernthat he often dispenses questionable medical adviceDr. Oz has chosen

to evade responsibility on this topic by once again changing the subject.

Ross added, Hes personally attacking his critics, while at the same time claiming they are

trying to silence him. Lets be clear: No one is looking to deny Dr. Oz his right to free

speech. All the public deserves is that when he speaks, he sticks to offering sound medical

advice that helps his viewers, rather than causing them harm.

Rosss spokesman said he was unavailable for comment Thursday afternoon because he

was on his way to an interview at CNN.
