Mea Culpa

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea magna culpa.

I was wrong to attack Newbie's spiteful and snied comments about my
opinions regarding dental Tx.

Newbie is a disingenuous dentist who happens to post HIS/HER opinions
about a person's possible dental Tx. Most of the time, he/she is within
normal limits of acceptable dental practice, many times giving very
helpful advice. However, he/she is very confrontational about other
practioners' opinions and treatment experiences.

I was weaned in the US Army Dental Corps' ethics model, where the needs
of bthe individual patient were paramount, and unfortunately for my
bottom line profit, I have been unable to extrapolate those ideals into
civilian dental practice. I, unfortunately, put the patient first in any
encounter. That has cost me hundreds of thousands of lost dollar profits
in the last 18 years.

My only desire on this NG has been to help and educate the public about
possible dental Tx.

Good Luck with your problems. Just realize where the advice is coming from.

Sounds like you have a complex or something.

I don't know you, but you don't know any of us either.  The above
statement is pretty much BS.  I have seen quite a few patients who
have lived through the US Army Dental Corps treatment and were not
served very well.  The Corps' obvious superior ethics did not translate
into healthy, happy patients.

Preaching 'superior ethics' to this group is quite inappropriate.

I really don't see where you think any regulars here have posted
comments that have a negative impact upon patient care.

And yet you continue to insult and project.

Examples:

1)
>You R still an a.s**** Newbie. Is NYU lookin' 4 U, u dickheasd.

2)

And you're not ? Yeah sure, projecting again.

You were 'weaned' in the *captive population* model.
(hind teat, no doubt)

In fact what you are saying is that you have no business acumen.
This is easily rectified and I am willing to help.

Once you address your insecurity and self-loathing, you will likely
stop projecting your faults upon others.

Is that what you call your juvenile insults and personal attacks ?
Helping others ? Ha !
