I love politics
Hey Mike,
I need help... These nigs want 700 for the examination, and then 2800 for the procedure.. And apparently, it's not a standard thing that people do, and insurance company won't cover it, or will cover barely any of it.
The thing is, the guy is telling me that he's a specialist in this non-surgical stuff, but maybe I should just get the surgery? I fear that this guy may be trying to swindle me or something. Do you know this jaw stuff fairly well? I think I want a second opinion before I fork over the $. I'm under the impression that you wouldn't tell me to do random procedures just to get paid for it, but I'm not sure if I believe that about other (and in this case, rather wealthy) dentists.
Sigh... this blows... There goes the bike.. and coilovers for the G.. God life is such ****..

Your TMJ still hurts after yawning and it didn't hurt before? Yeah I know the jaw well, it's my job. I didn't know they were talking about surgery. What surgery are they propsing exactly? Some surgical results in that joint don't have the best success record.
Have you neen taking any anti inflammatory medications? How many weeks has this been?

My point is that if expensive or invasive treatment options are being proposed, it is usually in the patients best interest to make sure that the very inexpensive treatment options are exhausted or ruled out first.
