Dude, it was a scam

Casper · January 17, 2018, 12:55:49 PM

Yes. And he fucked my front teeth up, plus he got away it. And now I'm going on five years with braces.

Never trust a doctor. Not only is he probably jewish but he also makes more money than you. Never trust people who make more money than you.

i've never personally met anyone who was good at their job

any person, any job, ever

Had one that didn't speak the language well and it was as annoying as it gets.

My GI doctor was a complete farce of a doctor. Only wanting to put me on some horrible PPI medication that would've made the condition I have infinitely worse. You could tell he just didn't know how to handle a patient like me. One you can't just give some pill too and send them on their way. The same went for my general physician.

Doctors are mostly in the business of treating symptoms and not curing people. One of the biggest reasons I respect my current doctor is because he tries to get to the root of the problem. Because he's an infectious disease doctor, he can't settle for just treating symptoms or many of his patients would simply die.

I think good doctors are few and far between tbh.

I had a couple that were basically drug dealers in lab coats.

Gender and sexuality specialized therapist thought me wearing sweatshirt and jeans instead of skirts and dresses was cause to delay giving me medicine. Also they asked me to use neutral pronouns for them, which just further confounds me. How can someone be non-binary but also so rigidly enforce gender roles?

fuck that shit

knowing more about cooking now than I used to, I'm embarrassed at some of the things I used to like eating

in the company of people who are more versed than I am in the culinary, I am often still embarrassed at some of the things I consider good

being able to admit you don't know anything is a hallmark of wisdom

i'm talking about fucking up orders, serving raw or undercooked food that isn't meant to be raw or undercooked, etc.

actual mistakes, not "i don't personally enjoy the taste of this, so this is the chef's fault"

This still sounds like nonsense

Orthodontist advised I have two teeth removed off the top row and then have braces to realign everything, one from behind the canines.

Dentist did the job over two operations which was basically a numbing injection and a pair of plyers. 2nd op went bad, crown came off but left the root in place. Immense pain after the numbness wore off for two days.

Orthodontist did x-rays and was like "Eh, just put braces on anyway and see if it aligns them"

4 years later, one gap is closed, another is as wide as when they removed it. I have a feeling the root isn't mentioned in my dental records, as all they've been focusing on recently is closing it with braces... not gonna happen. Will mention it next time I'm down there.

Oh and my favourite part that I just remembered;
"Hey Orthodontist, when can I get these braces out?"
"Eh, around 18 months, ask your dentist"
"Hey Dentist, when can I get these braces out?"
"We don't deal with that stuff here, ask your orthodontist"

I'm convinced orthodontistry is a spook at this point
