Her worst prediction on a live show was about Shawn Hornbeck. Told her parents on Montel's show that he was abducted and murdered by a dark skinned man with dreadlocks.I'm not familiar with Browne.
More stuff for me to see and get sad over?
5 years later, Hornbeck was discovered by sheriffs that he was abducted by a caucasian male with short brown hair. He's alive today and finally is getting on with his life.

I saw the show once. He was selling storage containers, but doing it as if it were medical advice, lol. Like, medically speaking, this storage container was superior to other storage containers.
It's just wrong. They ought to revoke his license.
wait a minute, serious? Were they for like, sharps or something?

^ thishe has a new show premiering on discovery fit & health called Surgeon Oz, and it's all about these life threatening surgeries he's completing and people who he's saved. If it were anyone else I would take is seriously...but it screams "For realz I'm a real doctor!" to me
From what I've been told, he's actually a competent surgeon. I have no first hand experience though.
I've heard that as well that he is a very good surgeon. It's just hard to take him seriously anymore and I think that is why he wants to do this show, to show people that he actually is competent and a real doctor.

I don't remember and can't say why. I was that shocked that he was selling storage containers that I cannot remember what he said. It's been quite a while.Need2Exerc1se wrote: »

No, these were storage containers to store food, like Tupperware or Rubbermaid. I cannot remember the name of the stuff he was selling, but he really did pretend that, medically speaking, THIS storage container was better.
I wasn't surprised that someone would say this container was better than all others, but it was surprised and disappointed to hear a doctor saying it like, for your health, you should be using this storage container.
The profession is already having a harder time attracting smart kids. They don't need people thinking of doctors as snake oil salesmen. They really should pull his license.
Maybe they were BPA free? Just trying to imagine what could possibly make one container better than another, other than leaky seals.
Maybe he is trying to supplement his income by becoming a Beachbody "coach".0 -
There used to be a website about all the fraud associated with Browne, but since that old grief vampire died, I don't see it up any more.0

That is what is really sad about him. He is a renowned cardiologist and cardio-thoracic surgeon but the "oprah effect" has turned him into a snake oil salesman which negates all of the good he has done in the past. All of his previous credibility has gone out the window.

Well actually Time had an article that farmers were feeding the chickens junk... I mean plain junk and some contained arsenic (I don't believe they were purposelessly feeding it to them..it was just in the mix). I was just reading an article about how giant chickens have become and Perdue and their practices. (same issue of Time) They now butcher at 7 weeks, 4 times a year and completely darken the coops and cover them so they are confused if it's day or night....
Oh man, there was a post on Facebook that made me want to punch someone in the face.Laurend224 wrote: »I got a panicked phone call from my mother once asking if my kids still drank apple juice......but the arsenic!
Chicken contains arsenic!
....ugh... shut up.
Chicken on it's own doesn't contain it but it shared when tested it contained many chemicals because of the feed it was given... not good feed but just leftover junk on the farms.
BUT... this is not saying that across the board this is being done.. I read the article and it mentioned it but it was talking about large companies and their practices.
It was interesting... reading it in a docs office I wasn't able to finish to the end but it gave me pause to think.
But since I wasn't there I can't of course speak first hand..

If he saved your life, then sold you green coffee beans.
Did he still save your life?0 -

I don't think Oprah made him do that awful show.

I like Oprah and many of her stable but I can't stand that ridiculous Bob Greene, who was her trainer for many years.

I hear a new "Dr Oz says" comment from my grandma at least twice a week when she calls me. I make fun of her a bit and say things like "all hail his televised shenaniganry. Amen." People who like Dr Oz preach what he says like the bible lol.0
