Earlier today I was watching a George Carlin special from the 80's on Netflix. Much like everything Carlin did, it was hilarious. But there was one thing that he said that really stood out to me. I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something to the effect of:
Somewhere in the world is the worst doctor, and someone has an appointment with him tomorrow.
Think about that. I mean, really think about it. There is a worst doctor out there. It could even be your doctor. You might be that appointment. You could even get more specific with that. There's a worst Urologist, a worst Gynecologist, a worst Oncologist, even a worst Dentist. Or worse yet, a worst Neurosurgeon. And you could be seeing any one of them. Now its one thing to have to deal with the worst waiter or worst tailor, but a doctor has your health in his/her hands.
There are only a few other things that can come close to comparing to this: worst mechanic, worst building safety inspector, worst nuclear power plant technician.
I don't mean to scare you with this. I'm just saying, make sure you check out the people you trust your well being to.
