Behold: Dr. Oz’s Q&A On Twitter Was Spectacularly Trolled
Mehmet Oz of the”Dr. Oz” teevee show and cardiothoracic surgeon whose questionable snake-oil-salesman-type “science” has left many of us scratching our heads, sent out an innocuous tweet which of course, was mercilessly trolled.
Oz has done a lot to damage his credibility as a medical doctor over the years. He came under fire for touting “miracle” weight-loss products that turned out to be entirely discredited; for announcing that his own children wouldn’t be vaccinated (which he blamed on his wife’s insistence); and for suggesting on national TV that the Ebola virus could become airborne.
It started like this:
What is your biggest question for me? Reply with #OzsInbox and I’ll answer my favorites on http://t.co/8kjmALRoAd.
— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) November 11, 2014
And ended like this:
@DrOz how are you still allowed to practice medicine you lying fear-mongering opportunist? #OzInbox — Foodmancing® (@Foodmancing) November 11, 2014
.@DrOz here’s mine: how the fuck do you still have a medical license?! #OzsInbox — Victoria (@victoriavarone) November 11, 2014

Ouch:
.@DrOz #OzsInbox Why have you not been censured or fired from @ColumbiaSurgery for conduct unbecoming a physician, scientist, and gentlemen? — Sunil K Sahai MD (@DrSunilKSahai) November 12, 2014
.@DrOz “First do no harm”. Does promoting quack cure-alls and diets, while trashing good medicine and technology do harm? #OzsInbox — Kevin Folta (@kevinfolta) November 12, 2014
“@drflanders: To be hung in every doctor’s office across the nation (pic) pic.twitter.com/5nnDtq8p2r” where can I get one? #OzsInbox — Sunny Chan (@DrWaiSun) November 12, 2014
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck drank kale smoothies daily? #OzsInbox

#OzsInbox Is it true you got into medicine because it was easier than starting your own cult?

Dear Dr. Oz, at what point today did you realize that the Twitter demographic is different from your show’s regular audience? #OzsInbox

Well that worked out swimmingly.

And who do we have to thank for this disgrace? Why Oprah of course!

Yep, it’s a sad day when medicine becomes an aspect of consumerism. Sadly, healthcare organizations (hospitals, clinics etc), healthcare providers and pharmaceuticals do the same things.

Hopefully this dose of medicine will make him realize that not everyone is in compliance with his beliefs.

I get a half dozen or more spams in my email daily that allegedly are about something-or-other that Dr. Oz approves. I have no idea why. I’ve never clicked on anything having to do with him. All I know is he’s some guy on TV and I don’t watch TV at home.
