What makes a dentist “awesome” or “beyond belief”?



Ability to do stuff that others can’t. My younger one had some serious terraforming done on her teeth beginning at a very young age. Ten years later, the before and after pictures are truly ‘beyond belief’. As are the bills. And she’s not really an orthodontist, just a pediatric dentist who knows what she’s doing.



What a stereotype. Wheres the data, or is this again anecdotal?



Data? Consider the brainpower we send to med school every year. Very few of them make it to research (much more money to practice I guess) and at the end of the day, have we made any progress towards cancer, diabetes, etc? not for what we’re spending.

We need doctors who can listen to what we want, not guilt-trip us into submission. Am I the only one who has figured out that a lot of this country’s health issues is because we’re being overworked to death (unlike in my native Europe?). Nope. Keep treating symptoms, it pays good money, but don’t raise your voice towards the catastrophe that is the US Health Care system or the reasons we’re getting what we’re getting out of what we’re spending.
