Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity TV host, vigorously defended the medical advice he dispenses on his show, striking back on Thursday against physicians who called his faculty position at Columbia University “unacceptable” in an email to the school last week.
During an episode of his syndicated daytime talk program, “The Dr. Oz Show,” that was broadcast on Thursday, Dr. Oz said his critics were attacking his freedom of speech.
“I vow to you right here and right now, we will not be silenced,” he said.
