Have you seen The Doctors yet? This syndicated medical talk show, which premiered one year ago, has real doctors covering the latest medical news and health and fitness trends. The hosts each have different specialties. Dr. Travis Stork is an E.R. physician (and formerly on The Bachelor); Dr. Lisa Masterson is a obstetrician and gynecologist; Dr. Andrew Ordon is plastic surgeon and reconstructive surgery expert and Dr. James Sears is a pediatrician.

Last week I spoke to Doctors Stork and Sears on a conference call interview. Talk about bedside manner. They were two of the nicest people, not just doctors, I have ever spoken to. During his summer break from the show, Dr. Stork spent his time working in a real E.R. again. He said he did it because it was a chance from him to again do what he talks about every day. It wasn't a problem when people now recognized him, it gave them something to build a rapport on.

Since Dr. Sears still has a pediatric practice, I asked him if he has to turn new patients away due to his new found fame. He replied that he has added on extra doctors, and luckily his practice is a good distance away from Los Angeles proper in a less congested area.

The conference call was with all mom bloggers, so most of the questions were actual medical questions that The Doctors might get on the TV show. Some of the advice given (that applies to teens) was that plain soap is almost always just as good as antibacterial, most elective plastic surgery for teens is not a good idea unless there is a good medical reason, especially breast augmentation, most teens switch from a pediatrician to a family practitioner when they go to college, but make sure they don't fall through the cracks and diet supplements never work in the long run.

On The Doctors, the array of medical subjects dealt with are endless. You can find out what time and channel to watch the Doctors in your area on the listings page on The Doctors website. If you have a question for The Doctors you can ask it online. And if you are out in Los Angeles, why not go see The Doctors live. Give the show a try. It is entertaining and educational, what a great mix.
