My patient today came in with her husband today, and while I was planning on taking x-rays, I hear a voice come from the operatory across from mine saying, " Babe, we're not getting x-rays." My heart just sunk to the floor, but I decided to explain why x-rays are essential to our care and they are only $2.00 per film. I minute later, I hear that same voice come over again saying, "Babe, I didn't realize how cheap they were, so get them."
People are so interesting because once you find out their doubt, you can normally resolve. I don't want people to think we try to push a sale on someone, but if its necessary to the right care, I will do everything in my power to get it. I didn't get to scale any teeth today, but that just leaves me a whole mouth to clean the next time she is in.
Mark, out.
