And I do disagree. To me the T is not offering a service the same way a dentist or a plumber would. The fact that I pay for his time, doesn't render what he does "a service".
I was just raising the issue because you wrote: This idea that "patients" (notice they use the word "patient" and not "client") ..., which sort of indicated that calling a patient "a patient" is somehow really bad objectively. This sentence did not contain any reference "to you".
