We may assume that as long as someone has a professional-license to practice, they probably know what they are doing and they are probably are good at it too. There are Medical doctors; Lawyers; Accountants & CPAs; Dentists; Psychiatrists & Psychologists (also Contractors; Brokers)...... People readily without knowing who exactly these people are may give their business to these professional-licensees to handle. Unfortunately, our society with all the varieties of pressures in place have variety of individuals that may lack or may be shaky in the areas of Moral & Ethical aspects of things. In these "high-end" professions usually there are a lot of money being handled and are charged; and the tendencies of these professionals many times may be to make the "money."
In these high-end-licensed professions usually there are high investments by these professionals that have been in place due to: school expenses; many years of hard study and very difficult exams that they have to endure in college, etc; high amounts of loans and interests; very competitive licensure tests, and many many many many hours of studying to make sure they past the tests; they may also have to be very conservative over the years to make sure all the demands are met as well.
These amounts of work and schooling, is a good way of sorting out the individuals who are seriously skillful at these type of professions, but may not or able to detect who really or genuinely cares about the clients and patients. Mainly the real-test is in REAL life situations when patients or clients seek such professionals and put their lives and finances in their hands to get assistance. People may need help for themselves or their loved ones. For example someone may have an illness who is reaching out to see a doctor; or someone may have an issue legally due to a wrongful advantage taking place; etc. Unfortunately, if one of these professionals do not assist us "Right", it is very difficult to find another professional to come and fix the problem, once there were an ill assistance. For example, if one lawyer already helped you in a case and your case has not been probably handled, it is very difficult and time consuming to find another lawyer to take your case. Sometimes another professional in the field, may want to charge you extra for fixing the problem, if you have been getting help from somewhere else already. Many times in these high-end professions, these Licensees may be concerned of being sued or have their license Revoked, so they are most careful about how they should assist or take a case.
So what can we do about that? How can we find a Right professional who REALLY cares about us or our best interest? Of course we just don't want someone who is only "nice" to us, or is just has a skill and is reputable in the business aspect of the profession. Some of these professionals may be good at "sales" and be lacking in the "care" part; an some may be Caring, but not be so good at convincing you that they are good at what they do. Ideally it is best to have both qualities, and overall they are in business as well.
Some of the suggestions may be that it is important that we seek these professionals by Referrals and consider to do a small search of their Credentials as well...... Also we may consider to check for ourselves and see if we can continue to work with the One who may be Best for us. Listen to your Feelings and insist that all your questions are properly and Promptly been Answered. Second opinions are also important if you can, although sometimes may be time consuming or no one may be available in your "choices" department. Doing background check on professionals maybe not so practical to do but be cautious sometimes. There are thousands of criminal cases that goes unnoticed, but we do not want it to happen to us!
It is also worth the mention that many times a little Prevention goes long way. We do not want to live our lives over-cautiously, but taking care of ourselves to begin with is always a good habit. Some examples are: eating healthy; exercising; getting the consults in business and legal situations, and getting our proper legal papers in place before it "needs" to be; getting the insurance we need; doing the proper maintenance in advance with our properties; etc.
