Doctor Feelgood

Because he just knows:
In an exclusive interview with CNN, Coburn said he is convinced that Bergdahl "had been drugged" in the video, "either with an anti-psychotic or hypnotic drug," he said.
How could he tell?
"It's easy," Coburn replied, "His speech was slurred, he was having trouble reading, and he had what's called 'nystagmus.' I mean, he'd been obviously drugged. "
Coburn went on to emphasize that he was making that observation as a physician
"I'm speaking as a doctor, yeah," said Coburn.
Coburn is an obstetrician gynecologist.
Yeah, that's right. The same guy who said this:
"Lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?"
and this:
I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you're healthier than if you don't. In fact, there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier."
and this:
"I am a global warming denier. I don't deny that."
That's just the tip of the iceberg. So perhaps he isn't all that credible when it comes to diagnosing someone in a video. The next time CNN wants a long distance video diagnosis from a Republican doctor they should check with Bill Frist. He's experienced.
