Dr. Oz said “of course” he has tasted his own urine, claims medical school forces doctors to taste it, and said his curiosity for it started when he was a kid.

Oz: “Aren’t you curious about your urine?”

Is he on a some spectrum? I don’t mean the autism spectrum, but some woo spectrum that makes people act out their outlandish fixations.

some diseases. It had to do with making sure your body humors were in balance. Of course, this went out of favor in Western medicine around the time of the Renaissance. Urinalysis is still a diagnostic tool, but these days it's done by looking at the results of various chemical reactions, and it's largely automated.

Where did Oz go to med school anyway?

Tasting? Bullshit. Some will taste anything but as an accepted technique? no.

I know of no medical school that ever suggested such a thing, even before the major emergence/recognoition of biofluid-transmitted infections. That is ridiculous

To be a doctor meant getting very close in to a patient. Even without microscopes and modern labs, they could learn a lot — and they were not always wrong.

Now, we don’t know what Oz is on about — but maybe he went to a lecture on old practices and decided to try a taste of the closest bladder, himself.

Side note: We are talking about modern Western medicine and Western revulsions just now. If you want a different take on things, look up Chinese medicine of the old days. It wasn’t all moxibustion and acupuncture.

I thought it was disgusting. He told me he did this because that's what they did in the old country.

If your urine is green and honey-flavored, you should immediately:

(a) Accuse your mother-in-law of casting a spell on you
(b) Piss into a silver bowl by moonlight
(c) Burn mugwort leaves on your skin
(d) Apply leeches
(e) Inject ivermectin paste
(f) All of the above
