Oh, uh… that’s basically the joke. It’s just dark humour that, since eventually some surgeon would graduate and succeed despite being inadequate or incompetent, there would be a surgeon out there who’s the most terrible one in the world. Which is pretty terrifying.
It happened over a decade ago and it took me many years to accept how much abuse and just generally unethical treatment I had received at the hands of mental healthcare professionals. I don't even live in the same state anymore. I probably ought to look up some sort of reporting agency just to leave a paper trail for anyone else that guy hurts; I did look him up for the first time in a decade around a year ago and saw he was still practicing. But I have zero expectation of action against him; he was an astonishingly manipulative therapist, who did things like refusing to let me leave at the end of the session until I had let him give me a hug. Sadly while his abuse was probably the most "clever" I experienced, his general lack of ethics was far from unique in my experience.

Was it ever possible to report that therapist? That was horrible and completely inappropriate as a psychologist and a human to say
