Medical professionals—that endorse themselves to do procedures like surgery and convince patients to pay them to do it.
A salesperson who doesn’t endorse their own product is in the wrong job. The weird thing to me is that a doctor is the only kind of salesperson who expects to get paid when they don’t make a sale. You go to a car dealership and don’t buy a car, the salesperson doesn’t get paid for that. You walk into a Best Buy, play with some of the computers on display, and ask the salesperson some questions, but leave without buying anything, Best Buy doesn’t get paid for that. Yet if you go to a doctor, and the doctor fails to diagnose your condition, or to prescribe a treatment you will consent to, somehow the doctor still expects you to pay. That seems wrong to me.
