uh drew, everybody manipulates everybody...hits called human relations...

and self promotion is what mentally healthy people do...

as for standards of behavior, i can only discuss the used gun sales world...if one does not do right by ones customers enough times, one will not have enough customers to make staying in bidness worthwhile...ah bin ah hobby gun broker now, since the late eighties...so ah must be doin sum thin right most of the time...

as for the medical profession being so highly regulated, gubmint does so, because so many crooks and charlatans found a home there...sorta like attoneys at law...and like other performance driven endeavors, if a doc or lawyer does not do right by their customers, they go out of bidness...and often go into gunmint employment...where there are little or no performance standards...
