Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
Dentists. They're almost arrogant enough to be considered doctors. No, I do not want to sit and chat with you for 30 minutes about the scarlet fever I had when I was 7 (should never have written that on the form!) only to find out that you won't clean my teeth since this is my first appointment with you, and I now have to schedule a second appointment (and pay a second co-pay) to get x-rays and then, and only then, may I be privileged enough to be in the club of people whose teeth you will clean - at a 3rd appointment with a 3rd co-pay. I'm the customer, you're a service provider. Clean my Foxtrotting teeth.
