The Doctors

This show puzzles me.I wonder what makes people mail and get tickets to be on the show simply for discussing sometimes extremely private matters INSTEAD of asking their own doctor.In private. This phenomena kind of both scare and fascinate me.Are we so anxious for TV and other media to confirm our existence today? Do the people who ask The Doctors questions lack medical insurance so this is their only chance to get some medical advice? Don't think so.They seem to be well-dressed middle-class people,sometimes verging on hysterical(especially the worried moms),but seemingly fairly well-educated and bourgeoise.

Alas,this show hasn't got a lot of potential.If you've seen one episode,you pretty much get it.Asking your own doctor seems a whole lot easier in the long run.

I guess there's plenty of vulnerable people out there, maybe suffering, maybe confused due to all the misinformation and pseudoscience floating around out there online. These quacks are getting rich and famous by playing into people's fears. They don't care about health anymore

Thank you for bringing back Dr. Orden, the show is literally 100% better, because of it. NO it's not the same as it was, once, but SOOO much better.. No offense to Dr. Ian, but he was kind of like milk toast, catering to the very lowest common denominator.

I started watching this program and went to their website. I read a few more shows of theirs online and posted some factual, tasteful, polite comments. They were taken down! One specific comment from someone that ONLY consisted of name calling and personal attacks was left up for all to read. Yes, I read their guidelines, they can decide to post whatever they want to, and not post whatever they don't. That said, they CHOSE to post some guys hateful comment over my tactful, polite, and factual comment. That speaks volumes about their character. They have the BULLY PULPIT and they know how to use it!

Never trust someone who'd see you silenced!

Phil McGraw's new format first episode was a bit too dry. Dr. Ian is fantastic for his medical knowledge and communication skills, but you need to have multiple doctors interacting in this show. Preferably bring back two or more of the original Doctors hosts to complement Dr Ian on every episode, even if on Zoom app, although preferably in person.

I will continue watching the show for additional days in order to round out my opinion, but as it stands I doubt I will watch this on an ongoing basis anymore.
