After I sold my dental practice, the new owner brought in a bunch of younger dentists who, although somewhat respectful, treated me like a fossil.
One morning, three of them were surrounding a viewing screen, looking at a panoramic film of the receptionist, trying to figure out which teeth to extract for her orthodontics, which was upcoming. Theyre all arguing about upper left first premolar, upper left second pre-molar, lower right second molar, and I looked at the screen for three seconds and said What the fuck is that in the midline? They all look down and I pointed and said That is an expansive midline cyst, which is threatening her jaw right now. She needs a consultation with an oral surgeon stat
forget your ortho for the moment.
She heard me and walked over and looked. She had seen these before as she had worked with me and I had pointed pathology out to the staff on many occasions out of a matter of interest and also for the education and she shook her head, asked me whom she should call, and walked away.
The other dentists, including one so-called hot shot, were silent. I just stared at them all for a good 15 seconds and went about my business.
I may be old, but my experience and understanding of all things in my career purview is unmatched by any young person who has not seen between 50 and 60,000 patients over 50 years. The fact that I need magnifiers to see, headlamps to assist vision, and I cant keep peoples names straight the way I used to has nothing to do with my expertise or confidence.
In the same way, President Biden has been around the block countless times and has dealt with so many difficulties while he was in the Senate that it is hard to imagine anyone else having the wherewithal and confidence to perform in the arena and this makes up for his obvious age related issues.
I see this whole Biden removal business as a psyop, orchestrated for many reasons at many levels. It is for me as though admirals and generals seek to depose the supreme commander during a war, a war, which is progressing satisfactory for their side. Something smells here, something really really smells.
