I think I learned of your site through your bio in a magazine... of course, I didn't write down which one. That should probably be my formerly - formerly a person with a memory. LOL... Anyway, I love your site. I'm glad I stopped by. I think I need that Botox for grumpiness. I think I learned of your site through your bio in a magazine… of course, I didn’t write down which one.

I agree with most of the sentiments here, but as a lay person talking out his candidate ass, it does seem like (1) injection of anything, including Botox, by a physician (oh wait, wasn't there a Seinfeld about how a dermatologist isn't a doctor? No I guess that was a podiatrist) is a medical procedure; and (2) the use of "candidate" has an accepted and legitimate meaning in the medical field. My next door neighbor told me last night that he needed a new knee but was not a "candidate" because he was too old. I too am curious about the whole story (though I too sometimes enjoy speculating and philosophizing based on incomplete information). If it conformed to the standard usage, whatever that is, then I'm more bothered by the fact that he suggested Botox at all seems like the most egregious part, not the use of the word "candidate." Though I guess what you mean is that he used legit medical jargon to sell a service and implicitly invoked offensive cultural norms. That is, you're not saying one can't be a candidate for Botox, just that using the lingo to sell is extra offensive. "A beer scientifically formulated to stimulate your taste buds optimally." I agree. Sorry it took me so long to catch up to you. Last year, I was in a therapy group, and it took them months to get that, where they thought things through then talked, I talked for a while until I understood what I thought about something. Annoying, perhaps, but here I am. Yes, but.
