thats what iam doing, iam just sitting on the sidelines
my life is so busy right now
Some people get "brainwashed" into a certain mindset, on certain issues, concerning their appearance/health, and are convinced that the solution that they have been "tricked" into believing is the ONLY solution that will bring them the happiness they are looking for. ANYONE who disagrees or has a different p.o.v. is considered to be "stupid" and their opinion is not the least bit valued!!
We've all been there in one way or another, in similar situations, involving either family or close buddies! Once they have their mind made up, it's useless to argue the point. Sometimes you have to let them learn their lesson the hard way, no matter the cost!!
Yeah.. you hate to see a loved one waste that much $$$ on "a pipe dream"- something that you know they won't be fully happy with down the road, but they're gonna' do what they're gonna' do anyway, no matter how many people try and persuade them not to.
You did your part in attempting to get him to rethink his position, but seems like your cousin disregarded your opinion totally. Next best thing to do now is to wish him luck, stand by the sidelines and "watch the game"!!
I wouldn't let it bother you, unless you're the one he's asked to cough up the $20-G's!! -

I'm kind of on the fence on this one. Granted you care a lot about your cousin, but at the same time, to call the quack, money hungry doctor, I think was out of line on your part. Personally, IMO you should have taken and 2x4 and beat your cousin's head until he came to his senses. As the others have said, you will have your day.

I think one of us (not sure who) is misreading his post. I read it that he called the doctor a charlatan while talking to his cousin, not that he called the doctor up and criticized him.
