The point is that you are the shame of the medical field and no one respect you as a beautician scamming people with unnecessary products and procedures.

A doctor saves lives.
You do not.
You are not a Dr.
You threw away the Hippocratic Oath into toilet bowl for money so you can "retired at 58".

Now go do your fillers and pretend that you are a Dr while your peers are busy saving lives.

Asethetic doctors are in the same category as insurance and property agents.
Disgusting slimes who betray their souls for money.
Must save lives then is Dr? What about coroner?
Pathologists? Doctors that sign death certificates? In some countries doctors perform euthanasia.

Quack medicine has no results no benefits.
Psychotherapy and counseling is not quack.
Homeopathy is likely quack.

I would not classify aesthetics as quack. It works. But it is for cosmetic and aesthetic purposes.

Yes definitely, everyone of these Drs do far more important work than asethetic "Drs"

I suggest all the Drs here bash asethetic "Drs" to stop people from wasting their medical degrees.

Anyone one who think doing fillers and botox is following the Hippocratic Oath needs their brain checked.
First principle, do no harm.
You think injecting useless fillers for pure asethetic reason into the face do no harm?

Because "medicialising" it makes people think they are legit and can scam more people money.

They are NOT.

The products and procedures are all quack.

Anyone with real skin problems should go see a derma.
Injecting fillers into healthy tissue for superficial reasons does harm.

What can asethetic "drs" do? Bu then they will be scared to introduce more new products and procedures, which is literally the only things they do.

Most of their doctoring skills are lost. They can only inject fillers and use the laser machine.

Of course not.
Health screening surface real medical problems and saves lives.
Most of the asethetic "Drs" are the most cmi MOs you ever met.

Ya, I do health screening every other day and have picked up many chronic and acute conditions.
Chronic like Hypt, high lipids and prediabetes/diabetes and acute like anaemia, thyroid disorders, pap and urine and tumour markers abnormalities. Even early cancer like breast cancers.
Health screening is definitely very useful, I do it myself yearly and that's how I picked up my stage 1c breast cancer too.

This is just foolish. They paid for their medical degree and earned it they have every right to do what they want with it so long as they adhere to SMC guidelines and do it legally. In other countries, it’s very common for those with a medical degree to even go into finance and management consulting. There is no reason to bash them. If they are interested in aesthetics and can satisfy customers who have boosted self esteem after the treatments then they are playing a role by themselves. It is foolish to call them quack because their treatments acruallt do work it’s just that u don’t see what they do as valuable and are annoyed that they make substantial income
