I reckon it was a typo.

To Tony (with a Y)

Obviously long standing scientific investigation of the safety vs risk of
radiographs can be thrown out the window due to your anecdotal reference of
your childs pediatrician.  She obviously knows better than all of the
research done over the last quarter century.

As for my signing your radiograph warning I'd happily sign all except for
the last part about enhancing my legal position.  The type of patient who
would require that part is the same one who will turn around and happily use
my lack of a preoperative radiograph to sue me.

Are you aware Tony with a Y , that many insurance companies (Aetna
Prudential etc) REQUIRE a pre operative radiograpgh before you, the patient
,are entitled to any benefits?  Why aren't you complaining to your benefit
manager about that procedure?  Are you willing to pay for a procedure fully
without insurance benefits because you won't let the dentist take a
radiograph beforehand.  Basically I'm asking you (no pun intended)  to put
your money where your mouth is.

Obviously your salivary calcification disappearing by prescription proves
that radiographs and surgery is useless in all cases.

And your desire to sue immediately your potential employer shows that you
will always seem to go for the legal remedy to correct situations you find
not acceptible to your opinions.   To be honest I feel better for that
potential lost employer because I have a feeling your desire for legal
remedy would have eventually found him in a courtroom defending himself
against one of your frivolous lawsuits.

By the way being informed is good for all patients. However one who is
constantly questioning everything because their Aunt Fanny (or their childs
pediatrician) told them the opposite is nothing but a pain in the a.s who
belongs in the dentist across town's record base. I will happily refer you
there so I can take care of patients who appreciate my hard work
