Had a shitty week for several reasons.
Firstly, somehow my wireless internet started messing up whenever I used a web browser. MSN was fine but nothing else.
Secondly, I had tried to drop Art Dramitique and went through hell and it still was not changed. Yet.
Thirdly, I have felt moderately sick all week.
Fourthly, someone who owes me money has not payed me yet.
Lastly, I wanted to rant about the Teeth Care Industry, but could not.
Dentists can go F**k themselves. For majorly over pricing there services. $200ish for a cleaning that takes 1/2 a hour. $200ish for fillings, more for work slightly harder. At a rate of $400 dollars an hour they would make $3200 in an 8 hour shift. ( $400 * 8 = $3200). with there being three or more chairs running at a dentist office thats close to $10K ($3200 *3 = $9600). Yeah I know it takes power and supplies to run and do the procedures. Guessing at the costs of those things that puts the Dentist’s profit for 1 days ‘labor’ at $2200. Times 5 days a week (they decide to have weekends off as well) thats 11000 (2200 *5 = 11000). Times 52 weeks a year thats $572000 ($11000 * 52 = $572000). Minus holidays thats close to $550K a year. Bullshit, I know.
What if people don’t have dental insurance. How do they expect them to pay that much. Luckily my father has great insurance from the company he works for or else we would have had some trouble paying for my braces I needed. I have gotten them off (and they worked great) but the price was ridiculously $5000. With the majority of that being checkups that were less than 5 minutes long. I go in sit down,he sticks a mirror in my mouth, changes some elastic bands and gets $175 for it.
Ooh, Thanks for the free tooth brush and dental floss your so generous after drastically overcharging for something you gave me 4 dollars of dental supplies for ‘free’. Your generosity amazes me throughly your really a god among men. ( end of sarcasm)
They also are allowed to use the title of ‘DR.’ Seems like they like stealing the thunder of actual doctors. The title of ‘Dr.’ should be for people of the medical profession who actually save lives.
Well, I am tired now. Peace y’all.
