‘Samantha Is a Serial Offender’: Doctor SLAMS Actress Again, Asks Her Not To ‘Play Victim’ – News18

Dr Cyriac Abby Philips aka The Liver Doc has once again lashed out at Samantha Ruth Prabhu for allegedly playing “victim”. The doctor, who previously slammed the actress for recommending hydrogen peroxide nebulisation, has now called her a “serial offender”. Earlier today, Samantha reacted to his criticism and asked him to be polite.

On Friday morning, Philips took to his X handle and penned down a long note reacting to Samantha’s reaction to his original post.

He called Samantha’s claims about the use of hydrogen peroxide nebulisation “unscientific, pseudoscientific and baseless”.

“Please note, she is a serial offender in the context of healthcare misinformation and she has been in the line of fire previously too. The reason why doctors like me have to spend (waste) time from our busy schedules to fight misinformation online is because it is peddled by large influential “celebrity” accounts that have no regard for public health. Engagement and monetization is their concern,” he wrote.

The doctor further mentioned that “public health and disease prevention” is his prime motive and therefore he will continue to “strongly criticise, be blatant, and brutal” to false claims. He even asked Samantha not to play “victim” and urged her to “unlearn and re-learn”.

“I expected better from someone who claims that she wants to “improve.” This is far from improvement. A rational and logical response would be to delete the public health endangering posts and apologize to her millions of followers and vouch to never quote or cite fraudulent practices or practitioners,” The Liver Doc added.

For the unversed, earlier this week, Samantha took to her Instagram stories when she recommended the use of hydrogen peroxide nebulisation. Her post caught The Liver Doc’s attention who then called her “health and science illiterate” and mentioned that the use of hydrogen peroxide nebulisation “is dangerous for health”. The doctor even demanded that Samantha should be jailed and added, “In a rational and scientifically progressive society, this woman will be charged with endangering public health and fined or put behind bars. She needs help or a better advisor in her team.”

However, earlier today, Samantha reacted to the doctor’s criticism and and mentioned that she “merely suggested” the use of hydrogen peroxide nebulisation with “good intention” since it was suggested to her by a “highly qualified doctor”.
