Call me paranoid, but I'd like anyone giving me penis injections to be licensed to practice medicine.
I wonder if this is a benefit to having health insurance: my insurance presumedly vets doctors in their network, so I'd have a hard time going to anyone unlicensed.
On the other hand, if I got penis enhancement surgery my insurance wouldn't cover it anyway, so I'd probably not care if they were out of network.
Socialized medicine also vets the doctors they have on payroll. Extra bonus: their vetting process doesn't involve a willingness to fuck patients over for extra cash.
Also, regardless of who pays, always check the doctor's credentials and more importantly their online reviews - there are a lot of crappy doctors that are acting perfectly legally.
That makes sense. I wasn't thinking American-style health insurance vs socialized medicine, I was thinking American-style health insurance vs self pay.
