"Doctor Oz" is a quack, "Dr. Oz" facing suit by injured man Mehmet Oz, M.D. and his television producers are being sued by 76-year-old Frank Dietl, who claims an insomnia cure promoted on "The Dr. Oz Show" left him with third-degree burns of his feet. According to the complaint: During a segment titled "Knapsack Heated Rice Footsies" on the April 17, 2012 show, Oz encouraged viewers who could not sleep due to cold feet to put uncooked rice into the toes of their socks, warm them in the microwave, and put them on before going to bed. Oz stated that heating the feet would divert blood to the feet, which would cool the rest of the body, which Oz said would induce sleep. Dietl, who suffers from diabetic neuropathy got severely burned because he was unable to judge how hot the socks were. Oz failed to properly caution viewers about how to avoid burns.
