going to the dentist, they feel they are getting hosed while there.
Sorta like people who don't know a spark plug from a muffler bearing who get taken to the cleaners by their friendly car dealer.
It makes you wonder just how much stuff doctors, lawyers, dentists, chiros, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, builders, etc, etc, all try to pull. Has everyone who provides a service come to be so "careless with the truth?"
At least with stuff on a house or a car you can more easily question what's really going on. But when some toothbreaker says you have a cracked filling or "pockets that need cleaning out" how are you to know? A second opinion means another appointment, another set of xrays, more time out of busy lives. Not always easy to do.
The dentist who tries to hose me told me over two years ago that I needed to have two fillings replaced with his magic stuff, to the tune of $3K. I told him I'd keep it in mind. Still no evidence of trouble.
Why is it that we have to question everything? <end of rant>
