> this is the experience with other healthcare providers I'd say there is still a difference in how the ghosting is likely to affect the person seeking care. Somebody seeking help with plantar fasciitis or urinary troubles might not appreciate being ghosted, but it could be a major roadblock to someone with executive dysfunction, or devastating to someone with social anxiety. There's probably also a bit of a difference in terms of finding someone actually good. Do you know whether you might be better served by a different dermatologist? Your sense of that is probably much less strong than that of someone currently seeing a therapist with the wrong approach for them. I agree that this does happen in all medical specialties and that it's bad everywhere, but it's even worse for therapists to do it.
