You want to really make money? Go into insurance, I guess?" 39:42 "The people getting a Range Rover or BMW less than a year after residency... most of the time they have a rich spouse or come from a very wealthy family. You don’t just graduate and get a Beamer, let me tell you. From my personal experience, I wanted a Cybertruck, and I’m in my 2nd year out of residency and I drive a Kia. Real life is way different that instagram portrays." Questions: 23:35 "What's your favorite quality about the best dental assistant you have worked with?" 30:26 "What's your favorite and least favorite cases?" 39:42 "What are ballpark incomes of some of your general dentist friends?" 41:48 "What's the biggest misconception people have about healing after surgery?" 46:16 "Would you rather be a wisdom tooth or a canine?"
