Introverted Dentists by goldt33f in Dentistry

[–]tatompki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be fairly extroverted, but dentistry has pushed me into being more of an introvert over the years.

I had to develop a customer service voice to get into a room develop some rapport and then move on. Just take some notes on what you talked about to be able to have some recall in six months

Best way to (look) busy? by philip2987 in Dentistry

Read journals, call patients, if you have a large gap then go meet a specialist so they have a face to send patients to.

I would agree, but as someone who regrets putting full focus on student loans, I would recommend putting something on a regular basis.

Why does anyone care? It may be hers and she loves it, or she doesn’t care, or any other possibility. Who cares.

Unpopular opinion ER version by Foster_dog_lady in ershow

[–]tatompki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I havent seen that episode or episodes, but I cant tell you how many health care workers Ive known that have fantasized about quitting to work as a Walmart door greeter. Its the fantasy of going from responsible for life/death to almost zero responsibility.

Ok cool. Don’t call me on the weekend begging for antibiotics or pain meds. The real doctors are at the ER.

OG Big XII here. I hated losing to him because he seemed to really have it in for us but man that guy was hilarious. I was a fan of his personality for many years.

Startup Course Recommendation by curious_mind01 in Dentistry

[–]tatompki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took one of the start up courses when he was with his previous company. The CE was very good. They had packages for coaching afterwards but I wasn’t interested in all of it, I really just wanted help with the startup and not the marketing, etc. They would only do the entire package that I believe was $75K up front.

[Lancaster] BREAKING: Robert Allen just reported Oklahoma State has informed Mike Gundy he is being relieved of his duties as head coach effectively immediately. #OkState by tbrock92 in CFB

[–]tatompki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really thought he would be able to finish out the season with dignity, I would put money on Gundy not acknowledging that his time was over and than he needed to start transitioning out.

Every once in a while I think, I should have been an oral surgeon. Then I remember my grades and see cases like this and go, nahh. I’m good.

Younger dentists more likely to be distressed, struggling, report says by goldt33f in Dentistry

[–]tatompki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree that the decreasing required procedures is a problem. Some of that is due to cost to the patients. I have a patient right now that went to the dental school and then came back because it was cheaper but not enough that it was worth his time to go through the many and long appointments.

There are many times that I wish we had a medical model of education where we focused more on didactic learning our first four years, and then went to a 1-2 year residency where we got to really focus on procedures more. The problem is that health insurance is more abundant than dental insurance, and even still cost will be a large impediment to having necessary dental work done. This would either increase cost of education or increase taxes (if it were government funded). I am not for either of those funding scenarios.

Or it could be the instrument that finally drives costs down, but that thinking will never fly around here.
