Having a national platform for nearly two decades comes with responsibility, to speak up, especially when it comes to people’s health and the integrity of the medical profession.1. Credentials matter.Medical advice should come from physicians who completed residency, are board-certified, and have actually taken care of patients. Taking guidance from someone who hasn’t done this, and who associates with deeply unethical behavior, uses demeaning language about women, or demonstrates profoundly misaligned priorities, is ill-advised. People show you who they are through their words, actions, and choices. Pay attention.2. Being a physician requires a moral standard.Medicine is built on respect, ethics, and principles. The way women were referenced in documented communications violates that standard and the premise of the Hippocratic Oath. This isn’t about politics. It’s about professionalism and a moral compass.3. The fact that CBS News hasn’t taken action is deeply troubling. People have been fired from network television for far less. Morality clauses exist for a reason. If documented language like this doesn’t cross that line, then the bar has fallen dangerously low.4. Medicine is not a title. It’s a practice.Before my 12 years at ABC News, I was a medical contributor at CBS. I’ve spent nearly 18 years caring for real patients across all socioeconomic backgrounds, from those with premium insurance to those with none at all. I have treated patients for free, with no expectation of anything in return. That is what being a physician means.Having “MD” after your name doesn’t make someone a real doctor. How people are treated, patients and otherwise, says everything.Staying silent in moments like this isn’t neutrality. It’s endorsement. I care too much about medicine and people’s lives to stay quiet.A cursory apology doesn’t undo a pattern of behavior.Do your research before taking anyone’s advice.Followers do not equal credibility, ethics, or character.Bottom line: When someone shows you who they are , believe them.View all 3,179 comments

They'll never admit they're wrong, but polling reveals quiet GOP regret

On Jan. 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot by a U.

This is evil.

We’re detecting a pattern with this administration.

The Doobie Brothers, now more than 50 years in, start this set with "Takin' It to the Streets" and never let off the gas.

Earlier this year, "quiet" was one word to describe the Virginia race for governor. Then came DOGE, a text message scandal down ballot, a redistricting surprise, the government shutdown and more.
