I delivered a full upper denture to a patient yesterday,
and he said to me, with tears in his eyes, “Sir, I have been wearing a denture for thirty five years, and without question this is far and away the most comfortable, most esthetic, and most harmonious prosthesis I have ever worn.”
My response: “Well all my patients, tens of thousands of them over the years, all feel the same way as you do. After all, I know more about diagnosis, impression taking, fitting than anyone. When it comes to tooth selection, my judgement is unparalleled and I have never ever had a single patient complain or criticize my work, not for an instant. Further, none of my prostheses have ever required an adjustment, much less a remake.
Any dentist anywhere in the world will tell you emphatically that I am the ultimate grandmaster of denture construction and anyone who would disagree, quite frankly, should be sued, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and jailed for the rest of his or her life. Anyone who doesn’t come to me to have teeth made should have their head examined and if they do attend another dentist, we will place their name on a list and isolate them for deportation even if they are American citizens or here legally.
Now some of these aberrant individuals use their teeth to eat dogs, cats, and wild geese, and as such should be compared unfavorably with the late, great Hannibal Lecter and prosecuted as well, imprisoned, and deported to Venezuela.
Your bill for my services awaits you at the front desk.

Imagine if your clinician said this to you. You would be certain that he or she WERE OUT OF THEIR EVER-LOVING MINDS!!!
It would, however, give a great story for cocktail parties or your bridge club.
What? Neither of those exist anymore? Wow. It’s a different world, isn’t it? I recall the uproar when Bush Sr. Called Clinton/Gore ticket “a couple of bozos”. Now…oh well. No sense repeating Orangina’s insanities.
On edit as an addendum: years ago I knew this dental specialist who called a dentist I know a “schmuck“ I said to him “Your definition of a schmuck is someone who doesn’t refer patients to you.“. He actually laughed…

As an aside, I will mention that, just yesterday, I switched my domain from GoDaddy to Network Solutions. For now, I am using it to post topics of interest to me, such as the history of my town in Western Pennsylvania.
Good luck with your web page!
My partial pinches.
