Surely I misheard. There’s no way Dr. Oz, the OG grifter, president of grift university, has been tapped to lead the largest and most influential US healthcare entity.

I can 💯 claim that I have hated him since the beginning bc I started practicing in 2001. He’s completely horrible and I can’t understand how Opera endorsed him for so long.
We are so screwed. I’m seeing all sorts of nightmare scenarios like hospitals having funding withheld if ICE isn’t allowed to intercept undocumented patients at emergency departments.
Yeah. It seems like name recognition and sycophancy are big with this administration. Since no one worth a damn from his last administration would consider it. All 3 of them.
"Wellness" potions will be for sale on the White House website. Kennedy's products will be available there too. Get ready to order your essential oils that "cure" all the illnesses that vaccines didn't. FFS.
In a weird way, it might be like the 3rd or 4th circle of hell for him. After all, are there more terrifying or stubborn bureaucrats than those from CMS? Like, I'd run the other way if I were him. These are the fraud specialists!
I agree with this take on CMS. Is Oz actually excited about running a center revolving around unglamorous health policy and the actual work it entails?
Stiff Competition to determine whether he or RFK Jr. Will be worse for American healthcare, but I believe in Oz and his ability to ransack an entire industry for private profit
The lab dogs that he would have otherwise subjected to unnecessary and inappropriate experiments, purely in their own self interest, floated him as a viable candidate
Mmm… sounds good to me. I bought 4 big, organic, heirloom tomatoes at Whole Foods: $18. The eggs were over $8/dozen. You throw in a homemade muffin and you got a deal!
Why do I get the feeling Dr Oz will hire the shamwow guy to sell everyone MAGA brand “super vitamins - made from real trees and crushed pea gravel”? All proceeds to the Trump family. Made in China
It’s hard to believe decades before his TV career, Dr. Oz was a beloved, talented cardiothoracic surgeon and many at Columbia praised his bedside manners…not sure what changed him to get so far from the scientific truth & the Hippocratic oath. Fame perhaps?
It's only going to keep getting worse. Ladapo is being considered for CDC head. Vinay Prasad for surgeon general. Why are the major medical advocacy organizations, like ACEP, AAEM, etc not speaking up? We have at least have this, please spread it: https://ProtectMed.org/RFKJrPetition
I'm getting out of healthcare if this happens and pursuing my dream of working in a library or book shop. Or moving abroad so my kids can get health care and an education. Whatever.
I honestly went out of my way to come up with a funny quip but there is none. Apparently, the next horrible health-harming news will be the announcement of the FDA Commissioner? This will be significant for American health.
Not that I want to leave the US without all your brilliant medical professionals, but if you want to get while the gettin' is good, Canada will welcome you with open arms.
Our Healthcare is by no means perfect, but we don't have Dr. Oz leading the way.
No such thing as "just" a nurse.
We are begging for nurses here.
I added another link with immigration info for a variety of HCWs including nurses.
NS Health offers relocation and signing bonuses.
I don't suggest this is a cure-all.
This is Canada trying desperately to recruit foreign trained doctors, so yes, this immigration stream is meant for people with some degree of privilege.
I'm also planning on ways to vanish into the new Fascist Order in order to position myself in such a way that my clogs will be useful to the resistance
How much is the medical community going to obey in advance? Dr. Oz on covid, "reopening America's schools presented an "appetizing opportunity" because it might only kill 2% to 3% more people." We know what's in store for the sick, handicapped & elderly.
When I heard that today, I literally just laughed out loud. I couldn’t even summon one iota of shock or surprise or anger. Just laughter at the endless stupidity.
Of course he has. WHY is everyone so surprised at trumps picks? Has NOONE been listening to him for the past 9 years. Seriously. The outrage has to stop and the actual push back has to start somewhere.
Trump: I wanna do batshit crazy stuff
Dems: umm hey GOP don’t you find this concerning?
GOP: lol you really think he would do that? You are an insane person
But you too are at times a patient. Plus you and your family will also be impacted when the morons ban all vaccinations. And I shudder to think what that could do to global supplies too.
The nightmare continues with the new characters every day. It seems that the most controversial unqualified individuals are added to the list one-by-one day-after-day.
If all of these ridiculous choices get pushed through as recess appointments (or approved — though I try to hope that wouldn’t happen), healthcare in the US is about to get way more chaotic and dysfunctional.
His supporting cast for this season of “How I Wrecked America”, is the worst yet.
(Also Linda McMahon, of wrestling fame, is picked for Dept of Ed, should make for a super short supply of future med students, out of the high school grad classes after 2028)
We’ve got some quality health grifters here in the UK that you’re welcome to have, if you feel that your domestic US health grifters are just too “yesterday’s news”
Wild idea, but maybe there should be some sort of basic competency tests, like knowing the laws, regulations...having at least 1 year of applicable experience...when tapped to run the country (into the ground).

the bad news is, well,,
Or is this another agency
They get us all killed with bird flu

But seriously, they must be doing this to “own the libs.” Right?!
If nothing else allergies and poor air quality better than without ...

I was born in California
We're making it much easier now.

I wish people would stop touting something as a cure-all that's only available to more privileged people.

We'll welcome lots of different HCWs.
My guess, his voters must be very pleased.

Trump is telling us what he is going to do and we are not talking seriously

We’re living in NUTSville USA.🤪
The U.S. has a problem.

Nvm. Doesn't matter. He's getting a spot too

Trump is clearly confusing casting his upcoming reality show with his cabinet, right?
That's quite enough.
I’d personally have had him serving jail time for the impact he had on so many lives.
(This was a joke. It's true, but it's also a joke)
Between RFK & now OZ...
This is scary!!!

Thanks again Oprah!
