There is no one better than a dentist to... tell dentist jokes! Among many never-heard-before jokes, the book presents the most traditional jokes told in a different and idyllic style. Distinct from the common books of funny jokes, in which they are...
_How much to extract this tooth? – the patient asks the dentist. _Two-hundred. – answers the dentist. _WHAT?! Two-hundred for just a few minutes of work? That's baloney! – the patient bites back. _If you like, I can extract it veeeeeeery slowly... - says the dentist.
---------------------------
Can it happen? Yes, it can. This type of playful encounter is very common between some dentists and their patients, of course, both in agreement and knowing it's only fun and games, just to loosen up and, in such a way, raise a better work place for the dentist and his patient.
Positive outcome: The patient does not agree with the slow extraction and tells the dentist, if he does his job very fast, but really fast indeed, he'll pay double. The dentist gets worked up and in less than thirty seconds the tooth is out. The patient is all smiles, and even faster jumps up from the chair and asks for the dentist to blink twice. Before the dentist blinks the second time, the patient is gone, and the rushed dentist will never see him again. There's only a note on his desk, written by the patient, it says he's never seen a tooth extraction this slow. Patient's name: The Flash.
Tragic outcome: The patient values his money and asks the dentist to extract his tooth very slowly, the slowest he can. The dentist takes the challenge and they make a bet: if the patient asks for the dentist to hurry up and remove the tooth already, he loses the bet and must pay double. If the dentist gets tired and hurry the extraction himself, the patient wins the bet and the dentist can't charge him for the job done. Sure enough, both go into the surgery room. Ten years later, the new owner of the building calls the police saying he's found two skeletons in the old practice room there. One of them had its mouth open and the other had a dental forceps on the right hand.
A dentist's feedback: Within a dentist's price charged, or any professional, as a matter of fact, many aspects must count. It's important to have in mind that a dentist has invested many years in studying, a lot, firstly, to get into college. Once inside, there were many other years of hard work, almost exclusively, dedicated to studying. Sometimes, he needed to move to a different city, handling the costs of transportation, food, living, education supplies and, frequently, with the excessive costs of the educational institutions. After graduation, there were even higher expenses, time and financial, with specialization courses, updates and improving his skills in general. Nevertheless, the costs of a dental practice, nowadays, are sky-high, a very large investment with a very slow financial return. In addition, there's also the added responsibility on each dentist when treating a patient, a responsibility that extends to the after-treatment as well. If you count all that, we cannot measure the price charged only as a matter of time spent on the procedure, besides the professional's time consumed, it also includes the supplies used, which are not cheap, they are equivalent to its quality. All this, without mentioning the fixed and variable costs of maintaining a practice, such as rent, assistants, taxes, water and power bills, equipment maintenance etc. You could cry...
