In reply to the discussion: Meet the medical student who wants to bring down Dr. Oz [View all]CanSocDem
(3,286 posts)4. Yeh, like how can anybody...
...choose an alternative to the great American Medical Industry. A system so heavily invested in sham psychology and propaganda one wonders how they can attack Dr Oz with a straight face. Generally they can leave it up to the 'true believers' to do their dirty work, who flail away at the easy targets, cheered on by the thoughtless crowd.
'They're stealing our business'.
"Dr. Oz has something like 4-million viewers a day," Mazer told Vox. "The average physician doesn't see a million patients in their lifetime. That's why organized medicine should be taking action."
For an industry like the AMA, whose only interest in the concept of PUBLIC HEALTH, is how to profit from it, to get such unbridled support from its' victims (of a liberal persuasion), simply baffles me.
