That’s a thoroughly depressing thought.

A well-meaning question, just seeking to understand: Is it possible for a professional providing a service to compel a client to sign a waiver that would protect the professional if the client rages-sues for some perceived slight? (“Sign if you want to continue receiving my services.”) Would something like that have any hope of being upheld in court?
