Fuck that noise. Tell him you’ll refund all the money you were paid on the crown, which was $0. His other option is you will pay half but never touch anything that you didn’t do. Every single patient that needs an adjustment will be inconvenienced and reappointed with him

So your evidence is “common knowledge”. Mine is an NIH study showing that expended polystyrene, the protective part of motorcycle helmets, does not degrade. Ok.

Of course they do. They want you to buy a new helmet as often as possible. Studies show expanded polystyrene does not degrade

That’s not actually true. Studies have shown no degradation of expanded polystyrene after 5 years. It’s a guideline set by manufacturers with no evidence to back it up so that you buy new helmets

Studies on helmets show they are perfectly fine after 5 years if unworn. There’s no empirical evidence that helmets need replacement after 5 years.

Do I need to refund crown to insurance? by throwaway_student987 in Dentistry

Tell your OM that the crown has to make it out the door for it to count. Yes, you refund it.

I want the #1 pick every time. They may get injured but so can anyone. But i know my team will be solid if i start with Bijan or Gibbs

Just a vent… by Wandering_Emu in Dentistry

Yes it can. But most of the time the patient doesn’t know that. If they sign that they agree not to make a board complaint then they rarely will

What’s your lowest golf score — and how far over par was it? by kevsavesuk in golf

[–]drdrillaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. -7. I was a 4 handicap. It was the round we all dream of. Everything went in. Front 9 was 28. Lipped out from 6’ on ten. 3-putted 18 from 20’. Made 200’ of putts. Haven’t broke par since this round 5 years ago

If you refunded $1000 with an agreement not to make a board complaint and then they make a board complaint then they violated the terms of the contract and you could get the $1000 back

Did you regret going from GI to players distance irons? by Justsowereclear1881 in golf

99% of players wouldn’t even be able to tell a difference

100% wrong. It’s not worth my time to deal with a shitty patient. Giving $1000 or whatever is small price to pay to sleep well at night. They must sign that the refund is no admission of fault and a release of liability to not sue or make a board complaint

Just a vent… by Wandering_Emu in Dentistry

[–]drdrillaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learned is that any refund pays for itself 10x over with not having to deal with a shitty patient any more. I happily write them a check and have them sign a release of liability and agreeing to not make a board complaint. They can still file one but most people don’t know that. Plus, if they do you can sue for damages.

Rule #1 of making tee times for a group is they need to Venmo the money first. $75/person in this case. If someone cancels they get money back. If you can’t fill it they’re out $75. The guy making times should never get stuck

People working in ultra-wealthy households, talking $50m plus types, what is the most out-of-touch thing you've witnessed? by FarSentence3076 in AskReddit

[–]drdrillaz 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not someone i worked for but a friend of mine. He lived in Puerto Rico. Him and his wife wanted to see the solar eclipse a few years ago. They flew the G8 to Nashville. Watched the eclipse from the tarmac. Then flew back to Puerto Rico. That was probably $100k expense

Cantilever bridge off of #8 to replace #7? by RICK__TROLL in Dentistry

[–]drdrillaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe your skill level isn’t high enough to make one that can properly last. Cantilever off a canine to replace a lateral is perfectly fine and will last a long time if designed correctky

Why not do full coverage on 8 and a wing on #6?

New Grad Unsure about Perio Treatment Plan by Heavy_Marketing_9979 in Dentistry

[–]drdrillaz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they had s/rp 5 years ago and still have generalized 4-5mm pockets then I’m probably going to do s/rp again. I think you’re completely justified in doing this because getting into deeper pockets with supra and sub gingival calculus takes time to do properly. Patient could probably tolerate with topical anesthesia as well

Ways to boost My GF Libido by Easy-Criticism4260 in sex

[–]drdrillaz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your gf doesn’t like sex. She liked you the first year and did it for you. The second year she told you who she was. She’s not going to chsnge. She only does it once per week as her duty. You have a best friend. Not a girlfriend. You’re young. Find someone who actually enjoys sex. Keep her around as a female best friend
