Career

Stork graduated magna cum laude as a member of Phi Beta Kappa Society from Duke University, and earned his medical degree with honors from the University of Virginia, where he was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha. [1] [2] He thereafter began an emergency medicine residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. [3]

During his residency, Stork appeared on Season 8 of The Bachelor . During the season finale of the show, Stork chose schoolteacher Sarah Stone, who coincidentally lived only a few blocks away from his Nashville residence. However, only one week after the show's pre-taped finale aired, the couple announced their relationship was already over. [4] He completed his residency, then practiced medicine in the emergency departments at Vanderbilt and a hospital in Colorado. [2] [3]

In October 2013, Stork joined telehealth company MDLIVE as chairman of its Medical Advisory Board. [5] As of March 2015, he was no longer affiliated with the company. [6]

Stork has published several books for the general public about health, [7] which includes The Lean Belly Prescription and The Doctor's Diet, and both had made the New York Times Best Seller list in the "Advice, How-to & Miscellaneous" category. [8] [9]

The Doctors

Stork was a host on The Doctors , a Los Angeles-based daytime medical/talk show, beginning with its debut in September 2008 and continuing until September 2020 when the show switched to a single-host format (the series would end in April 2022). [10] [11] On the show, Stork led a panel of three other physicians from different fields (pediatrics, plastic surgery and obstetrics/gynecology) who discussed health issues and answered audience questions. [12] The idea came from a series of segments that were featured on Dr. Phil , to which Stork was also a frequent contributor. [1] [13] [14]

The show won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Informative in 2010. [15]

A 2014 study in the British Medical Journal determined that "evidence supported 63%, contradicted 14%, and was not found for 24%" of recommendations made by the panel of doctors, and that "the public should be skeptical about recommendations made on medical talk shows." [16]

Personal life

Stork grew up in Missouri and attended Parkway West High School in Ballwin, Missouri. [17] In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he said that his parents were Midwestern farmers and that he was the first doctor in his family. [12] He was married to pediatrician Charlotte Brown from 2012 to 2015. [18] He later married Parris Bell on August 3, 2019. [19] On June 17, 2020, Stork and Bell welcomed their first child together, a son. [20]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Telehealth</span> Health care by telecommunication

Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows long-distance patient and clinician contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions. Telemedicine is sometimes used as a synonym, or is used in a more limited sense to describe remote clinical services, such as diagnosis and monitoring. When rural settings, lack of transport, a lack of mobility, conditions due to outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, decreased funding, or a lack of staff restrict access to care, telehealth may bridge the gap as well as provide distance-learning; meetings, supervision, and presentations between practitioners; online information and health data management and healthcare system integration. Telehealth could include two clinicians discussing a case over video conference; a robotic surgery occurring through remote access; physical therapy done via digital monitoring instruments, live feed and application combinations; tests being forwarded between facilities for interpretation by a higher specialist; home monitoring through continuous sending of patient health data; client to practitioner online conference; or even videophone interpretation during a consult.

The Dr. Oz Show is an American daytime television syndicated talk series that aired between September 14, 2009, and January 14, 2022. The host of the show is Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon who developed an affinity for alternative medicine. Throughout its run, various episodes and segment features have been vastly criticized for a lack of scientific credibility about the medical claims on the show. A study by the British Medical Journal in 2014 concluded that less than half the claims made on The Dr. Oz Show were backed by "some" evidence, and that fell to a third when the threshold was raised to "believable" evidence. The website Science-Based Medicine goes even further, claiming: "No other show on television can top The Dr. Oz Show for the sheer magnitude of bad health advice it consistently offers, all while giving everything a veneer of credibility." What follows is a selection of claims lacking scientific evidence.
