It seems to me like the whole medical profession is a big celebration of having an ego problem. Some doctors carry themselves with so much hubris it's hard to imagine some of them making ANY rational decisions at all, and all their processes, right down to how medical records are kept, seem geared around expecting obedience from the patient without revealing enough details for scrutiny to be applied.

Compare that against professions like engineering where a few notorious failures have led to the presence of cognitive biases in decision making being at least acknowledged to a degree.

The treatment was torture...she stuck about 50 needles in me, from the small of my back down my left leg to the little toe. Needles were clipped to electrical wires, and a small machine sent pulses several times a second. 40 minutes, 3 treatments, 2 weeks apart. It was agonizing. $100 per session. Honolulu, Chinatown, Clara Wong.

All I know is, I went from 'I wanna die' to 'holy shit, let's get back to work!'

I opted instead for a dick pic. 9 years later, no reply...I guess she's very busy.

Or maybe she thought the dic pic didn't even require a response ... Disappointed, embarrassed, in awe ?/, who knows what went through her mind confronted with such a thing. Send her another dic pic ....

That is a lot to go through if you're skeptical at the time.
