As a result there was no renewal and a lack of competent people in his field. Everyone wants to be a dentist. More money and no hassle. |
Everyone wants to be a dentist? More money and no hassle? I don't think so! I have been a dentist for 45 years, and in that time I have seen professional indemnity insurance rise from a minimal amount to a significant percentage of my income. Dentists have the same problems with patients as medicos do. We live in a very litigation oriented society, spurred on by a legal profession hell bent on lining its pockets at the expense of other professions-just look at their advertisements offering to sue someone on your behalf!
I am semi-retired now and in a couple of years I will be fully retired-thankfully! Would I become a dentist if I was starting a career again?-Hell,no! Too much legal crap and government interference.
And no, I have never been sued!
