I cant imagine someone whose doctor made their condition worse being told "medical care is not for everyone".

The therapy biz seems to be granted all sorts of special privileges and loopholes through which it can escape accountability and scrutiny.
A lot of times, people go for second opinions, or visit many medical doctors before getting their illness resolved. And how often do we hear that a writer's novel was rejected so many times before it became a blockbuster? Stuff happens. Nobody's perfect. And nobody is in charge. Thats life.
