Drew Pinsky’s also known on several channels as "Dr. Drew," announced that his six-year-old HLN show, “Dr. Drew On Call,” has been canceled by CNN, which will take effect officially on September 22.
A quote from CNN executive vice president Ken Jautz said he and Pinsky “have mutually agreed to air the final episode of his show on September 22″ but for what reason? We have no idea.
Ironically though, the decision came only eight days after Pinsky’s comments on a radio show on August 17th. Where he questioned the health and medical care of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president.
Twice in this week alone, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump went after Democrat Hillary Clinton for her physical health.
Pinsky’s thoughts, which he said were mutual with another physician he had consulted, aired on KABC’s “McIntyre in the Morning.”
Although the episode has been removed from the station’s website, true to internet form, nothing ever dies and this was published by the conservative Washington Free Beacon:
"Based on the information that she has provided and her doctors have provided, we were gravely concerned not just about her health, but her health care ….
What is going on with her health care? It’s bizarre. I got to tell you. Maybe they have reasons, but at a distance, it looks bizarre. There ought to be some sort of standard for people that are going to lead the country or are going to making these important decisions. Again, Hillary may be fine with all of this. I mean, it’s dangerous and it’s concerning, but you can see—and by the way, there were two other things that gravely concerned us. When she hit her head, she had to wear these prism glasses when she came out.
…. That is brain damage, and it’s affecting her balance. Now clearly, it hasn’t affected her cognition, but tell us a little more about that. That’s profound. And then number two, when they screened her for heart disease, again, they did an old-fashioned screen. It just seems like she’s getting care from somebody that she met in Arkansas when she was a kid, and you’ve got to wonder. You’ve got to wonder. It’s not so much that her health is a grave concern. It’s that the care she’s getting could make it a concern.
