I don't understand the need for this comment.... or this comment at all. Please explain why you are not surprised.


irishpipes.... you make good points. My point was that while doctors DO have to give you every viewpoint and possibility, unfortunately there are some who will give advice or a suggestion to someone just so that they can pay the extra to have something done that's not necessary. For example, a dermatologist could say "wow you have really whatever skin. you really need to have a chemical peel/fill in blank for whatever". It's not necessary but a doctor could make you think you need it and then woop they get more money.

Reputable piercers.... in this case.... would be honest and outright. Just like doctors, they have reputations and liablity to worry about. Just like the tongue piercing story, if they think it's necessary to have the ears fixed before piercing, they'll say it. If it's not big deal then they'll do it.

PS... I know TONS of people who've had their piercings close and then repierce in the same area. My 2nd holes are like that. Every person is different but I've never heard of anything happening. Besides... if it's gona get pierced in the same area, it's going to come out anyways.


ETA: For those who like to assume.... I was NOT generalizing that ALL doctors are money grubbing. Just like in any profession, there ARE people out there for the money. But there are also MANY doctors who truly care more about their patients than the money they make.
