Doctor is a term that gets thrown around too loosely and often without scrutiny.
Be sure to always do a quick google to see if they are legit or not. (Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz)

She was a medical doctor (ob/gyn) for 20+ years.

Then what the hell happened? Lead paint? Lives under power lines? Co2 leak?

Early onset dementia? I mean to go from 8 years of learning about science and medicine to spouting shit about nano machines and 5g.
That is not the action of a sane human.

Or it is the action of a sane human, but one's who's gone far down the far-right-wing rabbit hole and wants in on the grift.

People need to stop pairing actsylly crazy people with legitimate medical issues like dementia, schizophrenia, mental illnesses bc it’s saying “dementia is bad” instead of “she’s just a wacky loon”

She's old enough that lead poisoning is probably a factor. Honestly, anyone over 50 who grew up in the US has some level of conative impairment from lead.
But this looks more like untreated mental illness.

She was my doctor decades ago. It makes me so sad to see her like this. Back then she was wonderful with women's healthcare. Her book was helpful to so many people. Eventually I started seeing someone else in her practice. She was too busy with book tours, PBS specials etc, to practice on a regular basis.
When she started to go off the rails, it was terrifying. Like an invasion of the body snatchers scenario.

Doctor Oz is actually one the best heart surgeons in the nation. That's what makes his bullshit so dangerous.

Practicing doctor? I can’t imagine
But he’s got an undergrad in biology from Harvard, received his MD and an MBA from UPenn
Can’t speak to his proficiency as a surgeon but uh, dude is definitely a doctor legally speaking lol
Edit: got curious to see if he was practicing or not, he was vice chair of surgery at Columbia until he started his political career, make of that what you want. I can’t imagine you make it on the surgical board at Columbia by being a shitty surgeon regardless of the dumb shit you say on daytime TV and how obnoxious you are in front of a camera

He ceased being a doctor as soon as he started promoting and selling quack health products to gullible viewers.
He used the trust given to the profession to rob millions using false claims. Truly a despicable man.

Yeah, he ceased being a doctor...and then he ran for a government position.
Governor.
In the Republican party.
And he lost.
