Traveling techs are a big problem in this field.

Most doctors who hire them have no idea who these people really are or what their backgrounds are. Regardless, these doctors hire them to work on the scalps of their unsuspecting patients. This is a violation of patient trust that boarders on the criminal IMO.

How would you like it if during a your procedure you found out that one or more of the techs working on you was a stranger to the practice and to the doctor himself? That the person didn’t live in that area and had no allegiance  to that doctor or practice? That if things got rough, they could just disappear without any accountability? Not a comforting feeling, is it?
