Varshavski was not talking to the patient or to nursing staff. He was not even in a hospital. He was speaking into a camera in a two-bedroom apartment on the fifty-sixth floor of a building in Hell's Kitchen, in a makeshift studio where he records videos and his popular podcast.
Means is President Trump's controversial nominee for surgeon general, a role often described as the "nation's doctor." It entails being America's foremost spokesperson on public health, as well as educating the public using the best scientific information available. You're probably most familiar with the surgeon general's warning on cigarette packs and alcohol labels.
Oz was on Friday's episode of The Situation Room with Brown and her co-anchor Wolf Blitzer to talk about TrumpRx, a website operated by the Department of Health and Human Services that launched this week, delayed from a planned rollout in January over anti-kickback worries and other concerns about its legality. Among the medicines listed on the site for direct sale are drugs to treat diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure as well as weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound (prescribed for diabetes patients as the brand names Ozempic and Mounjaro, respectively).
Peter Attia seems, in contrast, rather sensible. There's the fact that he went to medical school and practices as a doctor. His work has popularized the term healthspan-the years of one's life when physical and mental abilities are still sharp, before disability or disease settles in-and the goal to maximize this period.
Last Tuesday, CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss announced that the longevity guru Dr. Peter Attia would be a contributor to the network, one of several high-profile hires to mark her takeover. Last Friday, in the latest congressional release of material related to the convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, Attia's name appeared over 1,700 times, including in emails discussing Epstein's sex life. In the most widely shared email between the two, from 2016, Attia joked to Epstein that "pussy is, indeed, low carb."
"Do you believe that the abortion pill mifepristone is safe and should be prescribed without an in-person visit with a physician?" Sen. Bill Cassidy asked.

Screenshot/White House Dr. Mehmet Oz was loudly condemned for referring to robot ultrasounds as pretty cool on Friday, with many Democrats highlighting a lack of doctors that forced the use of machines in healthcare. Oz, who runs the nation's Medicare and Medicaid programs, joined the visibly bored President Donald Trump and other healthcare advisers for a roundtable discussion about health care in rural America.

I've been a physician for 30 years. For the first three quarters of my career, I did all sorts of surgeries, from trauma and emergency surgery, to general and reconstructive cancer surgery. I loved surgery, and I still miss being in the operating room, but I was totally burnt out. I was not happy. I did not want to go to work, and I thought, who wants to live this way?
Means is a Stanford Medicine graduate who dropped out of her surgical residency and has since made a career infusing spiritual beliefs into her wellness company, social-media accounts, and best-selling book. The exact nature of her spirituality is hard to parse: Means adopts an anti-institutionalist, salad-bar approach. She might share Kabbalah or Buddhist teachings, or quote Rumi or the movie Moana. She has written about speaking to trees and participating in full-moon ceremonies.
