Huckstering

The American medical community raises eyebrows at Dr. Christiaan Barnard’s making a fool of himself huckstering youth creams. Strange. I haven’t heard a single comment about the many actors implying their medical expertise with such statements as, “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV.”
If it’s a case of whose ox is getting gored, the American public is getting to have one gored ox! We have enough fools in TV sitcoms without continuing to allow this kind of impersonation, by actors and professionals, as “experts.”
You see, as a professional psychotherapist, I KNOW these products don’t work!
