prosthodontist. Here’s a joke: a guy walks into a dental office and needs dental implants. The doctor then hands the patient a treatment plan. Here’s the punchline: “That will be “$60,000” sir. Ok a bad joke, but that is what 2 different dental offices quotes me. I think they sized me up as an attorney who looks successful but gee whiz that’s an awful lot of money. Disgraceful that dental insurance usually covers $1,000 a year which hasn’t changed from the 70’s if I recall correctly someone mentioning here. Seeing what my sun is going through just graduating medical school I understand the sacrifice he made and still has to make. After 4 years in Med school he has 6 years residency and fellowship training working 70hours a week making $65k a year.

Just curious: Have you ever shown those tapes to your daughter? FakeNoose Mar 2022 #1
