I made a similar generalization about dentists a number of years back. I regret making that generalization now.
I wish I had instead decided “that one can’t be trusted, let me try another”.
- hestipod 7y agoI have done that, repeatedly over many decades, and most of them have made me worse to the point nothing can be done IF you find a good one. You can't be an expert in everything and often learn someone is bad too late. Since I live in a country where healthcare is a profit driven business I have been priced out of "trying another" as a result of the damage done and loss of life and income. I cannot afford to keep trying new ones until I find an honest and competent one in most cases. Not at the US prices. I also went through that with dentists years back and had several in a row insisting I needed lots of expensive work but I kept spending on more opinions as it was out of line with my historical dental health. I lucked into one that confirmed I did not need any of that, proved why to my satisfaction, and said its a real problem in the business and I have been with them ever since.
