Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon best known as the host of TV’s Dr. Oz Show after rocketing to fame on Oprah Winfrey’s show, announced Tuesday that he is running for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat as a Republican.
Oz — a longtime New Jersey resident — enters a Republican field that is resetting with an influx of candidates and a new opportunity to appeal to voters loyal to former President Donald Trump, now that the candidate endorsed by Trump has just exited the race.

Dr. Phil is a fraud.
Dr. Oz is a board-certified heart surgeon.Dr. Phil touches the parts of the heart that mere surgery cannot reach.

Isn't Phil a psychologist?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

By training, yes. By licensure, no.
McGraw stopped renewing his Texas license to practice psychology in 2006.[48] The California Board of Psychology has determined that he does not need a license in that state because he does not practice psychology on his show.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

As far as he's concerned, a distinction without a difference.

That's right, and he's making a TON more money doing what he's doing rather than practicing his trade (Just ask D2 what a doctorate in psychology earns).
If you don't have a license, you're not a doctor. You're just someone who's very well educated in a field.
It's really a distinction WITH a difference.

Well, not quite.
Whether you have a license to practice, you're still a doc. BTW, quit slacking, check to make sure your license is good and go terrorize some residents...

I haven't been following the Pennsylvania senate race all that closely other than to be aware that the Democrat candidate (Fetterman) had a stroke a while ago, and at his last public appearance, he appeared, well, Biden-esque.
OTOH, I know little about Oz (R-Oprah) other than he
iswas a credible board-certified heart surgeon. His medical credentials seem solid and he has had multiple academic appointments.BUt...he's said some pretty strange things, which make me wonder.
