Annoying DO Resident Commercials....

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
This really boils down to a question of ethics. Appearing in these comercials to get paid a wad of cash for a product you know little about--Yes, unethical. Exploiting viewers' low self-esteem--Yes, unethical.
 
Kevin Pezzi MD seems to have the cure for everything, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Hair Loss, Penile shortcomings, etc. All the collective minds in the world havn't come up with cures, yet he has miraculously solved these problems all by himself.

Need help with keyword lists, how about a date, or a nifty woodcarving to go along with your cancer treatment and penis enlargement.., if so Pezzi has the solution to that any anything else you can possibly imagine!

This guy is a certified quack!

Do I detect a tinge of jealousy in your comments? Or a desire to spend time in court rather than in school?

If you are intelligent enough to be a doctor, you're smart enough to know that there are laws about defamation and slander. You really should check into those before posting false statements about Dr. Pezzi or anyone else.

Dr. Pezzi never claimed to have the cure for HIV/AIDS, but he did develop two ways to reduce its transmission. Had you read The Science of Sex, you could see for yourself that they are practical solutions. Nor does Dr. Pezzi claim to have the cure for cancer, but he did write about a promising new therapy for it that is based on a plausible mechanism of action, as documented by university research. He never claimed to have a cure for hair loss, but he did "stumble upon" (his words) a way to rekindle penile growth after puberty. In short, you have deliberately distorted what he said. You also seem to have missed a major point about the doc: he generally writes about things that most people don't know about (such as ways to improve intelligence and creativity), but the novelty of that information should not cause you to falsely malign him, suggesting that what he says cannot possibly be true. Anyone who is a true innovator -- and Dr. Pezzi is definitely that -- is bound to go against the conventional wisdom and push the envelope . . . that is what innovation is all about!

Dr. Pezzi is obviously very smart (he graduated in the top 1% of his class in medical school) and multi-talented. I wish that my husband could build the things he does, and take new concepts from a sheet of paper to a fully-formed invention that works. By the way, he HAS sold some of his inventions -- another factual inaccuracy on your part. I suppose that you have just as much talent, right?

WhyAskWhy = Dr. Kevin Pezzi, MD

Oh, and 'slander' is for spoken defamation. "Libel" is for written. If you are intelligent enough to be a doctor, you're smart enough to know the difference between the two.

No, I'm not Dr. Pezzi. He's a male, and I'm a female . . . and have the anatomy to prove it! 🙂 I'm not a lawyer, obviously, since I wasn't aware of the distinction between "slander" (spoken) and "libel" (written) . . . but my point is still valid. Your comments are an attempt to minimize what I stated by a counter-attack of who I am or am not--and you don't even know me.

By the way, I aspire to be a psychiatrist one day, so I am very interested in psychology (& have a Masters degree in it). What drew me into this discussion was when I noticed how some members of this forum went out of their way to traduce (look up THAT definition!) Dr. Pezzi. He's spent years answering questions from aspiring doctors and giving them advice . . . any gratitude for that? Or any gratitude for the free books he offers? Or his many free web sites? I find it really odd that people with far fewer accomplishments use their sniping attacks to criticize him. Again, what have YOU done that is comparable to what he's done? I think that some of you have such poor self-esteem that you just can't stand it when you find someone who is outstanding. Sure, you're all doing better than he did in medical school (how can you get better than the top 1%?), you're all better and more prolific writers, you're all more innovative, and you're all better with a hammer, etc. Sure you are! I'd love to hear about all of the magnificent things you've done.

Hahahah ... I was thinking the same thing. Good luck with a lawsuit against a random poster on internet forums too. Internet lawsuits fall apart even when big companies/names are trying to sue known people. I'm not trying to bash you, and the OP probably should have watched what they were saying, but bumping old threads and threatening lawsuits is definitely not a good way to make Dr Pezzi's work seem valid.

Among the numerous acheivements Dr. Pezzi lays claim to, you can add online female impersonator ...
 
I had no idea who Kevin Pezzi was, so I looked him up. Check out his "biography" (http://www.erbook.net/biograph.htm). It resembles a running Chuck Norris joke:

After graduating from Wayne State University School of Medicine second in a class of 256, Dr. Pezzi pursued advanced training in emergency medicine, exercise physiology, nutrition, physics, and engineering. He was one of the few people in the country to be elected to Alpha Omega Alpha after the second year of medical school. Dr. Pezzi is currently practicing medicine and is also an inventor, with over 700 inventions to date. Being naturally shy, he has sweated his way through dozens of television, radio, and newspaper interviews — and he's now so acclimated to the trauma that his conditioned fear responses are almost gone. He has developed a new technique of fractional multiplication, in spite of his lifelong aversion to math. He has beaten Bill Gates, an acknowledged math and computer genius who is Chairman of Microsoft, Inc. and the richest man in the world, on a test of mathematical ability and logic. Dr. Pezzi is also the innovator of several medical procedures. His brother has called him "the absent-minded Professor," a characterization that is not without merit. For example, while a college student at Michigan State University, he once went into the wrong room to take a final exam. Even though he was not enrolled in the class, he scored 147 out of 150, easily the highest score achieved by any of the hundreds of students taking the test. As a sophomore in college, he decided that his future was in the CIA, not medicine, so he skipped most of organic chemistry. Three days before the final, he changed his mind, crammed, and received a 4.0 for the course. In spite of seriously misjudging the optimal strategy for taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), he scored astronomically. A government official once claimed that Dr. Pezzi achieved the highest score ever attained on an IQ test administered nationwide, although Pezzi dismisses this as disingenuous pandering.
LOL at "disingenuous pandering."
 
:laugh:

That's awesome. You'd think with all that intelligence he'd devise a better hair-do.

I'm sure you do...
 
"even though he was not enrolled in the class, he scored 147 out of 150, easily the highest score achieved by any of the hundreds of students taking the test."

This begs the question, why wasn't he smart enough to realize he was taking the wrong exam?
 
Why are DOs selling there souls and integrity for BS commercials even before the complete their residency!!!

Ever hear of Rocky Vista University, the for-profit DO school affiliated with a caribbean med school? How about WVCOM, a medical school that's advertising in the Delta Air Lines in flight magazine for students (page 81).

They're just following the lead of their deans and representative organization.
