I find it fascinating that a doctor in Arizona who's never met me, never examined me, never reviewed my medical history or records, knows nothing about my family history, could make a diagnosis from 2,400 miles away. She must be a genius. My children saw that last night. And she sat there on TV and said, I'm afraid he's going to die in office. I have four children between 9 and 19. My children, my 12-year-old son comes to me last night and says, dad, are you going to die? Come on. This is irresponsible stuff. This is just another hack who wants five minutes on TV.
