A national group of distinguished physicians is demanding that Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons fire TV celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz for unethical behavior.

They wrote that the cardiothoracic surgeon”has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain,”  the Associated Press reported, and that he has “misled and endangered” the public.
