as a dental assistant, insurance had started to take root and dentists realized that the inscos would pay $25 for a $15 amalgam, so the fees went up. The hook was set. When I started my practice, maybe 30% of the patients had some sort of insurance, and we gladly filed it for them and waited a few weeks

biases are intrinsic to the human mind. Cognitive bias is not an illness. It's not something that is bad or people should be judged as bad for having, says Geri Amori, PhD, vice president of academic affairs at Coverys, a medical professional liability insurance firm. It is a normal thought process

it was a different game (I know some on here will disagree), there wasn't nearly the insurance oversight, malpractice scares and demanding patients as there is now. Dentists have a ridiculous amount of $$ on the line (school loans/mortgage/business loans) and it is harder than ever to pay them off quickly. Don't

. And now I don't know how I'm going to pay for life in general past this month ... the bank won't lend me any more money (and probably rightly so), I've maxed out almost all my credit cards. I can't afford therapy because even if my crap insurance covered any of it, I have no extra income. Frankly, I've

financial or emotional support. It's difficult being a single female boss (and I'm sure for a married male practice owner as well!), and there are times I wish I could just disappear. What's worse is that my health insurance doesn't cover mental health, so paying for therapy just adds to an already

for their problems (personally, I don't have this in my practice much, thank goodness) AND the money/insurance issues.....put that all together and it's a heaping pile of shit to have to deal with.

long years working as a secretary at a job she hated because it paid the rent and we got health insurance for not a lot. Yes, I'm aware a lot of people sacrifice. D-school wasn't the best of times. It sucked, every bit of it. And again, I'm not special, I'm certain many a dentist have done as much

of a toothache or no front tooth. I wonder how they'd get their claim. What is their excuse not to brush their teeth? No running water? No money? No insurance? No car? Can't drive? Can't buy healthy food? Can't find a dentist who takes their insurance? They have a full 24 hours each day

will cost my son about half of his school debt but interest rates are drastically lower. He will not work 6 days a week with no one with insurance to start his career. He will not have to be dentist and hygienist. He will likely make the equivalent of 45 grand I made the first few years of practice. He
