Dr.Oz Show

I was looking at news articles on yahoo news and stumbled across an article about the Dr.Oz Show.  I have never seen this show myself, but this article interests me.  He had a show about weight loss which featured six women in skanky outfits consisting of high heels, retro nurses hats and white dresses with red lingerie sticking out.  Nursing organizations spoke out against the show saying it was belittling and demeaning to nurses.  Nurses fight for a good image and fight against that type of an image.  The show apologized for its content a Dr.Oz spokeswoman states "Dr. Oz has worked alongside extraordinary nursing professionals throughout his medical career and holds nurses in the highest regard as they save lives and heal patients," the statement said. "Any attempt at humor should never call into question Dr. Oz's utmost respect for the nurses with whom he works and has lauded in other shows."  I find this article interesting because it is degrading to women and nurses.  I am studying to become a nurse currently and the nursing problem is tough.  Nurses are smart people and it takes a genuine good person to be in this profession.  I also have a rough time with the fact that he is a physician and presenting nurses in this kind of light when he is supposed to be giving medical information.
