Dec. 20th, 2023 11:51 amDeeply alarming post on Ask a Manager about a job offer the letter-writer turned down back in 2017:
I’m an acupuncturist in private practice. I saw that a large healthcare franchise was looking for an acupuncturist to work in a clinic they had set up to transition people with chronic conditions off of narcotic pain relievers, given what was being learned about opioid dependence . . .
I looked up their clinic online and found a review page that gave them less than one star out of five. Review after review from disgruntled patients criticized the clinic for taking them off of the narcotics they’d come to rely on over the long term, apparently without providing anything useful for the chronic pain.
The acupuncturist didn’t consider this a red flag, but they bailed when told they only had 20 minutes per patient.
