 I had one break after about 6 years my dentist gave me half off. He told me the mark up. Insane. 

 

The flipside. 2 dentist in a office with equipment I am sure pushes over a million with a staff of at least 8 or more.i cant fathom the overhead.

Years ago it was me and my ex-wife, both of us dentists. We did real well and kept our overhead very low.  Got divorced but continued to work together in the same office, she was working for me....think about that.  Then I got remarried to my Russian wife who eventually started working in the same office....all of us together! Can you imagine?  Worked out well as the ex finally left.

 

Now it's just me, a couple of hygienists, one full time girl, one part time, and my wife.  Overhead is up a bit, but still way below national average.  I'm to the point where I don't need or want to work too hard.  It's getting to the point 4 days a week seems like a lot.  In 2 years my daughter and son-in-law, both dentists, plan on joining in.  Life should be good then.

If Anti-Vaxxer is offensive, try Non-Vaxxer (= someone who doesn't partake of vaccinations, regardless of motive).

  I may indeed be wrong, but that was the position given with calling people TDS, or several of the other terms that have been used here. Deranged technically means insane, at least temporarily. It is inherently derogatory, even if true. Sometimes the truth doesn't fit under the TOS here, as Randy said. Anti vaccination is just a description of ones position. It's not inherently an insult or offensive. Most people I know who are against vaccinations actually describe themselves as being "anti vaccination". Most people who react to Trump don't go around describing themselves as "deranged".

 

Perhaps they are not yet ready to face the truth?

This thread is wack at best.  So many things to look at, so many shiny objects, and SQUIRREL!!!! —>>

 

Back in 1997, I refused to have my son inoculated when the hospital wanted him to get the live polio vaccine.  I had done my research, and learned that more people get the disease from baby poop than any other cause in the US.  I had a nurse tell me (on at least three different immunization visits) that my son would never enter the public school system without it.

 

Imagine my delight when one day, sitting in the waiting room at the same hospital, I saw on the news that the FDA had rescinded the vaccine, and kids were no longer required to have that particular vaccine.  And as fate would have it, my nurse that day was the same one who had tried to bully me into giving my son the vaccine.  When we got into the room, I asked her if she remembered me and our previous conversations.  Of course she did.  She shrugged her shoulders and told me I won.  No, I told her, it wasn’t about winning.  It was about doing research, drawing a conclusion, and believing in it.  

 

That being said, my kids were inoculate for most everyting else. As I was when I was a kid.  I don’t believe the autism hype that the Hollywood idiots try to spread.  I also realize that mistakes can be made in medicine; heck, the medical community is responsible for the largest number of deaths in the US, so it’s easy to see the mistrust many Americans may have for them.  But overall I think vaccines work.  So much so that I took the rabies vaccine BEFORE I got rabies (a very expensive course, I might add).

LOL  Really I should of had my head examined for getting myself into that situation.  Nothing good can come from working in a (small) office with your wife and your ex-wife, especially when your new wife is a hot tempered Russian. 

 

More like VJ idiot of the decade for me.
