<p>I agree, I can’t imagine that any of them would think the mall ultrasounds are a good thing. Those weren’t around when I had kids, so I have no idea who does them or how they are done. I have seen some “mall” cosmetic"medical" offices (weight loss ) that to me seem to be out of bounds of what I think of conventional medicine. </p>
<p>Rather than blame doctors for these mall businesses, understand that there are all kinds of people in every profession. The mall businesses are for profit, and they offer a service that people are free to buy. Even if many doctors don’t condone this, in a free market and free society, they are not able to just shut them down. If the businesses are not ethical, then the medical boards and legal system could intervene, but doctors as individuals are not in a position to regulate them.</p>
