i'm talking about docs that will do whatever a patient wants, regardless of what is proven to work or right... just b/c they'll get paid.
i'd say that about any doc anywhere in the world... it's irresponsible and only leads to more problems b/c then those patients think all docs work that way.
and you are right - until i did my homework, i thought it was kinda crazy to go to another country for surgery. once i heard the logic and looked into why US alternatives aren't ok.... it made sense.
but i'm telling you - dealing w/ certain sorts of patients in my practice setting is beyond frustrating. let's just say i'm not the definitive specialist for a lot of things, but people come to me a lot wanting quick fixes.
