So this used to be the way people diagnosed diabetes for centuries, since one of the symptoms is excess sugar being passed through urine. I could even understand doctors in remote/underdeveloped/overexploited areas falling back on this if more modern methods were unavailable.
But it just sounds like this guy likes drinking piss
"I like to do things the old fashioned way."
"What other tests or procedures do you do the old fashioned way?"
"Just this one."
"Oh."
My understanding is traditional Chinese doctors would have you pee on a rock and check it later for ant activity
Drinking it is not a requirement
Lmao based china for not drinking piss. Imagine fucking being a western doctor and just accepting the piss drinking instead of finding an alternative.
It's honestly not. Doctors using their smell and taste to diagnose symptoms of medical conditions is a pretty well-established practice. The headline is good for a laugh, but its got absolutely nothing to do with sex.
Do you think modern doctors are tasting their patients urine to diagnose them? Doctors tasting their patients to diagnose them was a well-established practice -- 200 years ago.
We have lab equipment now. We have technology. Normal doctors aren't tasting piss. Normal people are not saying urine is like wine.

I think modern doctors understand the symptoms and that many have a sense of humor about it.
He says that he drank his own pee in the video. We all get that talking about what pee tastes like is funny. Many people on hexbear make pee jokes. The weird thing is that he is so descriptive about the flavor, describing it as similar to cherries. There is no consensus that urine tastes like cherries. That's his own opinion. Dr Oz formed the thought that urine tastes like cherries based on his own experience with tasting urine. If you google search urine cherries, there's not anyone else saying that urine tastes like cherries.

Yes, that's the joke. Doctors recognizing symptoms by taste and smell, then regarding the conditions like a sommelier would describe wine.

This is a joke a rich doctor would make to a bunch of wine snobs.
This isn't the first time a congressional candidate drank his own piss.

When I was still on FB years ago I remember someone on my feed sharing one of Saladino's rants and I got to say "Hey isn't this the guy that pisses into his own mouth?"
I have money on this guy winning, not because I want him to win but because I think America is a stupid enough country to let him. I dont think this hurts his chances one bit.
Here is a video where he describes the taste of piss. This was from Jimmy Kimmel Oct 28 2009. He says that of course he has drank his own piss. He also describes the taste of diabetic piss, which would imply that he drinks other people's piss.

lol lmfao
he claimed he was required to drink his own piss in med school
according to his med school, that is a lie.
You don't understand, he had to drink his own piss
It was pledge week and he needed to get into that frat
I feel like I could sit down and have a nice warm glass of piss with him.
What level of wealth makes you think that’s a normal thing to say?
A census-taker once tried to test him. He ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice cherry wine.
