Hey what do you call a dropout or never managed to get into the medical schools? A dentist!!! I just love how a dentist has the personality of God and pretend they are a big shot. I mean what do you have to do…like have a 1.5 GPA and get less than below average in one of those entrance exam to qualify to the top Dental School in the US? Even the most clueless human being can get into the Dental school and still manage to ace most, if not all, of their board exams. Most dentist just look at your gum for several seconds and charge you up-the-roof and then reschedule you for expensive procedures so they can rip you off legally. Dentistry is the biggest sham ever purported in the human existence and if one think this through deeply, it might consider as pseudo-science as well. Word of advice to those who are seeking for a profession, which pays lot more than a dentist and you will get social values out of it without getting a dirty look from people every time they hear what you do: A medical doctor with M.D.. That is all!

I changed therapists after 35 years. That was easy, because she retired to Rancho Mercedes where all good therapists go to raise horses and learn Catalan.
But after a couple of years of death & tragedy, I thought I needed a new shrink.
I got a good one, and we were working some hot analyses when her receptionist called to cancel. “She had an infarct, and may die” was not what he said, but I inferred.

I finally went back today, 4 months later, but apparently she doesn’t do Mondays.
What a bounder!

we have been having similar issues with our family dr as of late. I missed one or two appointments b/c of transportation missed connections, then when we rescheduled he was called away. this was back in mid june. it’s august and i’m hoping on the next appt we will finally connect. i dont think the provider is passive-aggressive – the secretaries generally are lol

Perhaps less passive-aggressive dentist and more assertive-aggressive receptionist. The dentist may not even know she’s talking to people like this. Sadly for Ms. Receptionist “Karma is quite the tricky gal.” Do what is right for you, life will catch up with her.

Good lord. Do you think they’ve forgotten they are service providers … to put it down in its most basic form? I would be unimpressed and changing dentists. Here, they just charge you if you forget the appointment or forget to cancel and get on with their lives.

leprosy should be no problem for a dentist. A chiropractor, maybe.

Dentists have one of the highest rates of suicide of any profession*.

Maybe because of habitual rejection?

Just a thought.

Dang, I would find a different dentist is the receptionist gives you stick, they didn’t charge for canceling did they?
