It's just part of the routine. Honestly.

I say the same 3 or 4 conversation starters to every patient. Then we talk about something else to pass a few seconds, then I check them out then off we go.

Whatever you do, do NOT talk to an orthopedic surgeon about work.

I'm easier on cabinets than they are on your body when you're under anesthesia.

Yeah. Mom and Dad both have both their knees replaced. So some jackass made the mistake of youtubing the procedure.

Holy hell. Those are the same damn tools I have in the shop.

I did get a bank to take it over and cut my interest rate in half.

5 years in I’ve cut it in half. Started at 307000 at 7.2% interest 5 years ago, down near 140 now. My goal is 2 years now with adding another practice to start throwing serious money at it and get it over with

If the dude can hack $30K/yr in principal (w/ a 7.2% rate to boot) off his loan debt, let's not cry for him too much here...

He's just scraping shit out of the mouths of meth-heads while preying on the vanity of teenage girls and pretty boys like RunKC (so like I said, teenage girls).

And he's a condescending dick.

Glad you when you see the name "Chris Jones", what you think about is my brain matter splattering on walls.

At least I've made an impact on the world.

I'm in the chair and the hygenist is about to get to work. She introduces herself and then starts the small talk. Her opener was "Did you hear about that school shooting in California yesterday?"

She didn't just do a casual mention of it either, her idea for conversation was to discuss the whole event in detail.

I casually asked to schedule my next appt with a different one when I left ROFL
