You too can have a mirror like this for less than the ebay price! I tried to make one of my own and it turned out pretty damn good for the prototype. Pic quality is crap because my camera is too. If anyone wants me to make them one I could do it.

Since mentioned it, here's some reasons to avoid a health care career.

The government (Federal, State and Local) dictates what you can and can't do. The FDA regulates drus and materials. Since I started practice OSHA, WISHA (Washington State's version of OSHA), Infectious Wastes Protocols enforsed by OSHA and the Pierce County Health Department, Hazardous Waste Prorocols enforced by the EPA and soon the state, and HIPPA privacy and security standards have been added. There is no way to comply with all of it and in some cases they conflict.

Insurance companies dictate what you can and can't do and then dictate how much you can charge when you actually do something. With 2 dentists in our office we need 1 full time person just to deal with insurance.

More documentation is required because law suits are won and lost on details. Paper work will bury you. It takes away from free time and treatment time. We had to take a class on the legal aspects of practicing dentistry last year just to get malpractice insurance. It is absolutely impossible to protect yourself completely.

People pay you last because you are a rich doctor. Of course, you will have obligations you have to meet also and if you are in private practice like me you will have to purchase all of the so called fringe benefits.

It's pretty apparent, I HATE THE BUSINESS END OF DENTISTRY! However, there is no greater reward than helping someone who really needs you and that keeps me going.

Sorry for the rant but, think long and hard about it. Be ready to submit to outside control. My personal physician gets way more hassles from insurance than I do and I know he has to cover his ass to avoid lawsuits. As tough as I think dentist have it, I think medical doctors have it worse than we do.
