Rand Paul has a professional degree as well. Having a professional degree and license does not mean you always make good decisions. It doesn't mean you have integrity. It doesn't mean you are selfless. It just means you clawed your way through graduate school, kissed butt and skated through residency and fellowship, passed your boards and whala. I work with doctors every day. Some of them are amazing. Some of them are terrible. Dr. Oz falls into the latter. He's way more concerned with making money than he is anything else. Doctors that fall into the trap of paid for speaking (sponsorship by drug companies, etc.) often lose grip on why they entered medical school in the first place in their quest to amass money. Desire for fame, money and power are all traits that are contradictory to what I feel the practice of medicine is about.
