So I had my yearly "well woman" exam. When the Dr. was through doing all the doctor things, he handed me a brochure for a cosmetic procedure that "harnesses the power of ultrasound to transform the brow, chin, neck, and chest."
He gave me a 2-minute sales talk about how great and non-invasive this procedure is, and how it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and, I quote, "TURKEY NECK"!! (Which I do not think I have).
I was shocked. It's one thing to be handed a brochure; quite another for the Dr. to use my paid-for time to push a procedure that is not medical, and is obviously targeted to my age group (I'm sure he's not talking to the pregnant patients about brow lifts).
Do I have any business being indignant, or is this just the way things are going?
