In the Doctors Lounge of our office building, a table of seven physicians were sharing lunch together when I plopped down in the remaining chair. I knew some of the men, but several were strangers and a stately old gentleman introduced me around.
After hearing I was a dentist, a young orthopedic surgeon went into a tirade, "What's wrong with you dentists? This guy operates on hearts. This man is doing limbs. That fellow is buried in old people and you guys are just drilling teeth. You dentists are offing yourselves. What is up with that?"
I lashed back, "When you make a mistake, you can bury it; but when we make an error, we see it every six months!"
