Dr Oz


The Dr Oz show has recently started being played on NZ TV, and although at 9am in the morning the magic of the DVR means I have the whole weeks worth to watch every evening. The news is so bad and repetitive that instead, I now watch the medical show.

The last show before Easter was one where the Dr Oz show has a free clinic in Houston. I seldom feel close to tears watching such shows, but was shocked by the people who were denied health care attending. The last chap they profiled with advanced skin cancer of his lip was sad, as intervention much earlier would have such a deformity that will require radical surgery and treatment to fix.

Our health care system is by no means perfect, but you would never be denied life saving treatments here.

Dr Oz, you did good.
