My First Vlog! NY Cuomo insults Americans protesting to go back to work. “Get an essential job.”
I previously wrote about the state-sponsored bigotry dividing Americans into “essential” and “non-essential.” Today I read an article featuring an exchange between New York’s Governor Cuomo and a local CBS affiliate reporter. Governor Cuomo, referring to the people protesting to … Continue reading
I Am at War
I first posted this on Facebook. I’ve added to it a bit here. And, I’ve since taken a break from Facebook. It’s unfortunate that so many mistake their own cognitive dissonance, precipitated by thoughtful posts that contradict their prejudices, for … Continue reading

Why I’m not fazed by COVID-19
I first posted this on my personal Facebook feed. I expected a lot of negative feedback. But, the opposite happened, for the most part. I am not fazed. And, this bothers a lot of people. It seems the new measure … Continue reading

And one last thing about the Corona hysteria…
I’ve stayed out of posting on social media like Facebook, though I’ve been lurking a bit. It’s a good thing I’m staying out of the fray, as I’d likely make a lot of enemies by calling out people specifically. So, … Continue reading
Bad News = Opportunity… Part 2
OK… So, by now most of us have witnessed the full-on panic in America. It’s crazy. If I’m honest, I will say that I don’t suffer fools well. I admit that I am contemptuous of those who adopt the “herd … Continue reading

Walmart Dentistry – It’s for real!
I wrote about Walmart Dentistry a few years ago. In the previous iteration of “Walmart Dentistry,” it was my understanding that it was a DSO renting space in a Walmart retail location. This time it’s different. Walmart opened a new … Continue reading
Is the Other Bracket About to Drop?
I wrote about DIY orthodontics not long ago. While it felt good to “unload” my feelings about DIY orthodontics, I had to admit to myself that it was unlikely we (dentistry) would stop this multi-billion dollar juggernaut. I figured it … Continue reading
This Is What “Organized Dentistry” Thinks Is Good Marketing!?!?
I’ve long been a critic of so-called “organized dentistry” (American Dental Association) at the national, state, and local levels. And, hoo-boy, do they lob up easy targets for me! This is an ad recently created by my state’s dental association. … Continue reading
I’m NOT “Lovin’ it.” McDentists Strike Again.
It’s been a while since I’ve written! Busy with life and uninspired. Today I saw an emergency patient for a dentist-friend who is out of town. She’s a new patient for my friend. A veneer (on #9) that was done … Continue reading

The Corporate Scourge of Dentistry
Yeah, I said it. I wrote that title. I stand by it, because it’s true. The corporate interests in Dentistry are a scourge to quality, patient-centered care. When non-dentists are running the show and dictating treatment plans, it’s not a … Continue reading
