‘And so I do think people want to understand, well what happens to my healthcare if Mr. Trump is elected, and more importantly, what kind of role model is he for health in our country?’ he went on.
“The metaphor for me is it’s the doctor’s office, the studio”.
For what it’s worth, Dr. Oz did tell Kilmeade that he plans to “ask [Trump] pointed questions about his health”. You won’t get Hillary Clinton’s bill of health, either, because she declined to be on the show, Mediaite reports.
The businessman is expected to release the results of a physical he underwent last week during the hour-long interview, which will air Thursday.
“Ultimately, they’re going to be good”, Trump said Monday. But his advice has been criticized by experts in the medical community.
Last year, 10 prominent physicians signed a letter – in which Oz was dubbed a “fake and a charlatan” – calling for the TV doc’s dismissal from the prestigious vice chairman post in Columbia University’s department of surgery.
Oz, however, stressed that Trump’s campaign has been “very professional” and encouraged him to ask whatever questions he’d like of the candidate.
“It’s another case of brilliant showmanship for both of them. all sizzle and no steak”.
Representatives for Oz didn’t immediately respond to questions about the criticism surrounding the doctor, but his lawyers have previously told The News that Oz has never endorsed any type of health supplement.
In another interview Dr Oz told NBC’s Today show that both White House candidates have been invited to appear separately on the Dr Oz show and that he hopes Clinton will accept the invitation as well.
Trump’s doctor has admitted that his freakish note – which said the 70-year-old mogul “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”- was dashed off in just five minutes.
‘His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary, ‘ Bornstein wrote.
“It’s interesting because they say pneumonia, but she was coughing very, very badly a week ago”, the former Celebrity Apprentice host added.

Focus on candidates’ health came to the forefront this week, following Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s near-collapse while leaving the 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City on Sunday – an incident her campaign attributed to a pneumonia diagnosis.
