It turns out that medical professionals take the same dim view of Dr. Keith Ablow’s diagnoses-without-examination of President Obama as we do. Some of them have blasted Ablow in an Associated Press article earlier today.

AP’s David Bauder took note of Ablow’s on-air “practice” of diagnosing President Obama and consulted some medical professionals for their views. As we have often reported, Ablow regularly analyzes President Obama’s psyche on Fox News and concludes that he has some kind of deep animosity toward America.

That’s not counting the swipes he has taken at Vice President Biden's mental condition and Michelle Obama’s weight.

Bauder spoke to some distinguished medical experts and reported the following:

Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of psychiatry at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, said Ablow seems more interested in entertaining than in reflecting well on his profession. Lieberman is past president of the American Psychiatric Association, which discourages members from speculating on psychiatric characteristics of non-patients.

“It is shameful and unfortunate that he is given a platform by Fox News or any other media organization,” Lieberman said. “Basically he is a narcissistic self-promoter of limited and dubious expertise.”

Ablow isn’t an APA member, having resigned in 2011 in a dispute over transgenderism.

… While doctors are entitled to political opinions like anyone else, the way Ablow tries to connect his views to medical analysis “is really just irresponsible and it’s embarrassing for physicians in general,” said Ford Vox, a staff physiatrist at the Shepherd Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta.

But, hey, Ablow comes to just the kinds of conclusions about Obama Fox News loves, so why should they care about medical ethics?
