Click bait, for sure, but certainly eye opening and reveals some of the scumbaggery that exists in lots of fields, hardly unique to Derm. I see more and more “patient mining”, blatant overcoding, fear mongering (“it COULD be cancer, so we better...”), and other unsavory practices with each passing year.
When the VC backed national Radiology firm was talking with us, they all but promised us more thyroid biopsies if we adopted their standards, as if it were a good thing.
