R.I.P. to the Daytime TV Doctor

R.I.P. to the Daytime TV Doctor

It’s with a heavy heart that I announce the death of the daytime TV doctor. They lived a long, illustrious life. Throughout the early aughts, they normalized turning guests’ addictions into content and supporting weight loss scams, but most importantly letting the public know that we deserve an emotional connection with our doctors. Indeed, for many Americans, the visibility of the daytime TV doctor stood in sharp contrast to the invisibility of their own doctor, who they couldn’t afford to see more than once per year.

As they got older and became an occasional tax-paying adult, the daytime TV doctor used their emotional appeal to their advantage and thought to themselves, wait…I don’t need to pretend to know what I’m talking about anymore. You know, like that one time Dr. Phil said people who are mentally ill “suck on rocks” and “bark at the moon.” Or when Dr. Oz said apple juice contains too much arsenic. Or when Dr. Drew touted an antidepressant as a libido booster under false pretenses. Sometimes you really don’t know what you got until it’s gone.
