They are not super special and some are mean and petty and so forth. I have dealth with them in probate court where they have been greedy and dysfunctional. I watch their children Dislike them and complain about them and refuse to take care of ones who have become incapacitated. They are just like everyone else and sometimes worse. I have personally not dealt with any who are better

Truth. IMHO, Western medicine has a niche of stuff it can do really well (curing many kinds of infections, keeping reasonably healthy people from dying when they've been in a car accident, using empirical evidence to figure out which drug/intervention can prevent the most morbidity/mortality). And then there's a whole bunch of stuff that it is total **** at addressing and claims to be able to fix... and then when the "fix" doesn't work, blames the patient for being crazy/lazy/aberrant and still charges them lots of $$$ even though all it has done is waste time and cause even more suffering than the disease/condition itself (many autoimmune disorders, most chronic pain, mental health stuff, some chronic diseases like diabetes and COPD).
Stopdog, a question (dunno where this question lies wrt your boundaries, so do tell me to f*** off if I've crossed them): you say you've found a use for therapists, but you also seem to have a lot of distain for therapists-in-general and also your particular Ts. And you don't seem like someone who tolerates bulls**t, and SO MANY THERAPISTS employ bulls**ty tactics in their practice. In what way are your therapists useful to you? (And how the hell did you find two Ts who don't say insipid things all the time?)
