“DREW” podcast with ADAM CAROLLA, said on KABC’s morning show with DOUG MCINTYRE that he is “gravely concerned” with HILLARY CLINTON’s health, suggesting that she may have brain damage and is not being properly screened for heart disease. “My executive producer Burt Dubrow and our outstanding staff and contributors were consistently exceptional”, Pinsky said in a statement. He added he will remain “within the CNN Worldwide family as a contributor”.
Pinsky’s show ‘Dr. Drew, ‘ has been canceled by the HLN network. Drew has been an authoritative voice on addiction and on many other topical issues facing America today. It’s possible he simply got the facts reversed in his mind, given that Pinsky has roughly the same amount of insider knowledge about Clinton’s current health care as someone living in the ’50s.
His comments came as the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, along with its surrogates and supporters, including former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani and Fox News host Sean Hannity, have attempted to portray Clinton as lacking “the mental and physical stamina” demanded by the job, as Trump has put it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky and Hillary Clinton.
The doctor is out at HLN.
Dr. Arthur Caplan, head of the division of medical ethics at New York University’s Langone Medical Center, criticized medical professionals who offer diagnoses of patients not under their care.
In Dr. Drew’s words, Clinton’s treatment for hypothyroidism is “very unconventional” and more like that right out of the ’60s.
According to CNN, however, the cancellation is simply a part of ongoing changes at sister network HLN.

Back in January, Pinsky falsely reported that Hillary had a “flareup of problems from” a “brain injury”.
