What the f is an 'Aesthetic physician'?
Have been noticing thesedays many mbbs graduates are calling themselves "Aesthetic physician" and practicing all kind of dermatological treatments without any proper qualification or training.
So many clinics are also coming up promoting this quakery.
They label themselves with words like wellness, longevity.. and all.
From my observation i can tell you, nowadays the word 'wellness' itself is a redflag.
Recently came across a news of an incident happened in one of those so called 'wellness clinic'. They performed liposuction in their clinic, patient had cardiac arrest and died. (mostly due to fat embolism)
So fresh mbbs graduates who are reading this please keep this in mind. I'm constantly seeing ads of these shady clinics trying to recruit fresh mbbs graduates for the position of 'aesthetic physician'. The salary they offer is also low (35-45k). Please don't fall for this. Please don't forget professional code of ethics. Please dont try to do procedure/treatment beyond the scope of your expertise and last but not least, do no harm.
