My dental surgeon refuses to design or install an implant. They will only put in the screw for the implant.
Why? Because of a pyramid scheme.
That might not be a direct "lie," but it is misleading. Doctors mislead constantly. They tend to accept norms that are harmful because they are systems outside of their control.
- nradov 2y agoI don't think you understand what a pyramid scheme is. There are some unethical providers who optimize for their own profit rather than the patient's best interests but those are a small minority. And it is entirely normal to separate implant design from installation; those things take different skills and equipment.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI think there is a conflation occurring between harm and sub-optimal behavior (from your perspective). Is the doctor harmful or simply less helpful than you would like? Would you be better off with no dental work or healthcare? Zero harm is being done in this case IMO. If Im alone in the desert dying, I dont think others are harming me for my lack of water and food. That is simple neutrality and indifference.
