You know what else dermatologists have discovered? Cosmetic procedures. I’ve recently tried a couple of new dermatologists and their offices are just blanketed in advertisements for lasers, fillers, etc. Between the skin cancer scam and cosmetic procedures, it’s no wonder it’s a highly desired specialty.

I felt it was a cheap shot to take so I didn't go into it in the article, but one thing that has always rubbed me the wrong way about dermatology practices is how many advertisements they have within the offices which are designed to amplify and cater to people's physical insecurities.
Even veterinary offices and exam rooms are now stuffed with brochures from pharma for pet meds. One of my neighbors has her dog on Prozac and trazodone. Pets are going to be a huge market!
This is something that deeply saddens me. Recently read of small dog given neurontin for pain for luxating patella. Spaying her cat cost my friend $450. And they wonder why ppl can't afford it and shelters are at full capacity. 😿
neurontin/Gabapentin is now sadly one of the most common treatments for dogs and cats now. People have no idea what that drug can do on humans much less little animals. Vet’s Best has a products called Aches & Pains that works very well naturally. My dog had a “possible” CL tear. Thankfully I had time to research it and we went the conservative brace route (one company customizes a brace). Worked beautifully.
Pets already suffer from "human" diseases, most likely from exposure to chemicals, particulary to weed killers as they are always sniffing the ground and poor quality food.
Dr Andrew Jones is a great resource on his website and YT channel for natural remedies and the truth about what has happened to the vet “industry.” His YT channel is “Veterinary Secrets.”
It’s also a lucrative specialty because so much of it is self-pay. We know a resident dermatologist and it’s one of the hardest/most competitive residencies to get into. Alongside plastics.
I always said that if I were a doctor, I’d like to be a dermatologist. They render high-priced cosmetic treatments, but unlike other specialists, they are never called to the emergency room at 3 am. And in Florida, where I live, dermatologists’ offices are standing-room-only with old folks sporting dark spots that worry them (benign solar lentigines, called age spots or liver spots). Ka-Ching!
And you can't find a new dentist without having received a new full set of dental x-rays whether you need them or not. I don't and still without a dentist.
Dr. Ellie Phillips has a dental care system - all with cheap OTC products - that will eliminate the need to go for cleanings. She will happily tell you for free, on YT or on her website. (yes, there is fluoride involved, but she will teach you about the different types of fluoride)
I'm pursuing this because of knee replacement - I have to take ABX every time I go for a cleaning, and I'm sick of it.

Yeah, I've started supplementing my pup's chow with food I cook. She knows it's so much better than the kibble/canned glop.
My precious little one was killed by an ignorant landlord who refused to give up his Roundup. 😿
So terribly sad.

I agree 100%.

I know of a dermatologist who was in internal medicine and switch to dermatology for that very reason.
Likewise, dental offices are awash in teeth whitening treatment ads.
And they still use fluoride treatments!
