If you’re going to suck my toes while checking my ‘sugar levels’, at least buy me a drink first.
And conversely, to women going to SEE their eye doctors in the near future…if the doctor or assistant asks you to raise your legs and close your eyes, you might want to take a cursory scan of the diplomas on the wall.
I think it’s hilarious, but at the same time it’s kind of scary how clearly this illustrates the general populations’ belief that “he’s a doctor, he must know what he’s doing”. No wonder these people develop a God complex. There are folks out there who think just being a doctor means they know best, no questions asked.
This reminds me of something I just read in Dagens Medicin (a Swedish weekly paper for medical issues).
They report that a court has cleared a docotor who had received a warning by a medical review board. A woman had filed a complaint against the doctor because he had used rectal massage to treat her back pains and leg numbness.
The review board that received the complaint found that there was no support in evidence or practical experience that it worked. The court found that this had not been proven. :smack:
