Essentia most of your posts unfortunately seem to demonstrate a very negative attitude towards us medical professionals, I am really not sure why, believe it or not the vast majority of us are extremely professional and actually care greatly about our patients. Suprise, suprise eh? Importantly, my FIRST consideration is not about the cost or income generated, but for my patients wellbeing and on many occasions do not treat - Yes, I turn away business! However, I make no apologies for charging for my services.
Not at all - among my closest relatives are a nurse and a top London surgeon, I admire the medical profession very well indeed. I could well say the same about your posts in relation to BT.
However there is no denying that some have jumped on the aesthetic bandwagon.
In terms of the word 'aesthetician' - actually the medical industry have campained AGAINST the use of this title to describe our speciality, because of the misleading nature. All sorts of individuals are using the word 'aesthetic practitioner', 'aesthetic therapist' etc which is indeed misleading to the general public, the vast majority of whom interpret to mean 'medically qualified' when as we know this is not true. So in fact as part of a consultation we have actively been seeking government legislation, and I would actually urge medical colleagues to steer away describing themselves as 'aestheticians' - in fact we are not.
