Re: "Dr Oz? Are you kidding me?"

Dr Oz? Are you kidding me? — Here's a man who built his career peddling quackery, miracle cures, and pseudoscience to millions, getting rich off their hope. He's just about universally condemned by the medical community for putting his financial interests ahead of patient welfare. Trump ran on a promise to get rid of the cronyism and corruption in politics. Many of his picks have been antithetical to this cause but this stands as the worst yet.
