I have had to stop telling any of my medical professionals what I study for a living, especially the natural/homeopathic ones. It ruins my appointment. I had an acupuncturist with almost $160k in debt.
My sense is that almost everything at the margins of "Healthcare" is shady af: "eastern" medicine, nutrition, holistic, naturopathy. In #Lowered I talk about how the veneer of medical field provides a lot of cover for dubious programs. IDK if it has gotten better or worse
For instance, have medical student loans in private market gotten more expansive?
But the poor dentists. Nothing like the earful I get while I'm half sedated with a drill at my gum line.
I moved offices with the same dentist chain because for real momma had a lot of questions that got her very riled up while she was drilling in my mouth.
