Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / May 2006Financial problems for Patterson??
I have heard that Patterson Dental Supply is having some problems lately. First, GENDEX pulled its exclusivity agreement with them, second SciCan is allegedly going to be pulling its agreement with Patterson as well. Finally, it appears that the president of Patterson is under some sort of SEC investigation for pulling a Martha Stuart.. Can anybody comment on the validity of these rumors. I would love to see an evil giant fall. Thanks, Fidelio Personally, I would love to see people quoting names correctly, like for example Martha Stewart instead of Martha Stuart. > Personally, I would love to see people quoting names correctly, like > for example Martha Stewart instead of Martha Stuart. Hey, it was 8AM and I hadn't had my coffee yet. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to point out that typographical error in my post. Your comments are always appreciated.

Now perhaps you can comment on why Patterson is an "evil giant" and why do you want them to fail. After all, if you don't like the way they do business you can always change your supplier. > > > Personally, I would love to see people quoting names correctly, like > > > for example Martha Stewart instead of Martha Stuart.

These days it seems success and evil go hand in hand. The only way to remain popular and well regarded is to be a miserable failure.

I disagree. However one sure way to remain disregarded by all is t become a successful WHINER.

T I assume that you are not a miserable failure and therefore it follow that according your statement above that you do not think you ar well-regarded or popular. So it seems you hold a grudge Furthermore you remove all self-responsibility, placing blame on th masses that may respect or hold some particular souls in high regard. Furthermore you insult those that deserve and DO gain respect due thei hard work and ethical manners. So I was put-off by your statement If you were just making a sarcastic joke, I humbly apologize for m overly-serious interpretation. Sorry -- drdolittl I wasn't really making a joke or writing about myself. It was an observation about human nature. An average (fill in blank) sparks indifference, while a successful (fill in blank again) will often inspire extremes of emotion. This often includes irrational hatred for no other reason than the object of that hatred has achieved success at something. Perhaps you have not observed this. I have. My level of success has left me in the indifference eliciting category, although I aspire to be hated someday. Sorry you were "put-off".

You may want to have the prescription checked on your rose colored glasses. Reading so much into and being "put-off" by rather innocuous comments made on the internet leads me to believe they may need their rosieness updated, adjusted or possibly even replaced!

Funny.
