An all-out assault on science

  I won’t BS you, John — we’re facing an all-out assault on science and data. As a physician for more than two decades, it’s been my job to diagnose my patients’ problems and get to work to solve them. And I’ve always let science and data guide my decision making. Yet in this crit…

Flip-flop Dr. Oz

  John — It’s only been a few weeks since he jumped in the race, but Dr. Oz has wasted no time showing he’s running a campaign straight out of Donald Trump’s playbook. In a recent interview, Dr. Oz admitted that he’s fine with the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade — even thoug…

My oath

I’ve never lost sight of why I got into the field.   John, As a doctor, you take an important oath: “first, do no harm.” On the labor and delivery floor and in the operating room, that meant putting the patient’s health and safety first and fighting for them no matter what. It’s a …

We don’t need a rerun

Dr. Oz is going all-in on this race.   It's getting serious, John — it was reported earlier this week that a new super PAC has been established to support Dr. Oz’s run for Senate here in Pennsylvania. With millions already being spent here by Republican candidates, it was only a ma…

Roe v. Wade is hanging by a thread

  John, Roe v. Wade is hanging by a thread. Earlier this month the Supreme Court heard arguments on a Mississippi law that could overturn Roe for good. Then the Court essentially upheld forced pregnancy by refusing to block Texas’ abortion ban, which bans abortion before many even…
