Cancer Patient Exploited by "The Doctors" TV Show (FULL VIDEO)


On September 19, 2017, "The Doctors" television show aired a segment featuring Marisha Dotson, a stage IV squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) survivor who, at that point, had endured nearly 50 surgeries in an effort to stop her cancer. These surgeries included removing her nose, her upper jawbone, eight top teeth, and the roof of her mouth. The show and its sponsors promised Marisha, whose ONLY family is a little brother and who lives in poverty, free dental work and reconstructive surgery. As of January 2019, they have not delivered on these promises.

Related  A 2014 study in the British Medical Journal examined 40 randomly-selected episodes of The Doctors and studied the veracity of 80 randomly-selected statements or recommendations made in each episode. The study determined that "evidence supported 63%, contradicted 14%, and was not found for 24%" of recommendations made by the panel of doctors, and advised that "the public should be skeptical about recommendations made on medical talk shows."
