Healthcare scandal

By itsjustnotfair - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my dentist asked me about my fillings, so I told him that when I was younger, I had 2 cavities. He replied, "No you didn't. I just looked at your x-rays." Turns out my old dentist ripped me off. I never needed fillings. FML

that's malpractice! He could get in serious trouble for that, such as having his license revoked. I would report him. He could potentially hurt someone, not to mention scamming many people, and the healthcare system.

actually i doubt this is fake. cause honestly now that i think about it i would get pretty much anything that my dentist told me i needed because i have no idea how to look at x-rays of my teeth and tell whats what.

My old dentist ripped me off like that too. I asked for a picture and he took one then showed "it" to me. Strangely you'd expect the latest picture to be at the end of the sequence, but "it" wasn't. Later...at his new office, The new heigenist told me that the marks on the tooth on the other side were not signs of a cavity and that it was a mistake...the new dentist also thinks that.

Haha, Fyl, my old dentist told me I had a cavity but I was to chicken to get the filling. A year after they told me that I was at s new dentist, who told me I didn't have a cavity :p

Half the commenters on FML are idiots anyway. Sucks for the OP.

That's messed up. The person still got ripped off. A dentist should be someone you can trust with your teeth. They should be trying to rip people off.

Actually, since he has the X-rays as proof, he can get that quack charged with medical malpractice, regardless of how long ago the procedure was.

Starchild, dude, not everyone has the same amount of teeth. Yeah, you're SUPPOSED to have 32, but that doesn't mean you do. Like some of mine are just MIA. Not like redneck missing teeth, but, for example, I don't have all my wisdom teeth. Besides, you can get 20 fillings. You can get more than one in a single tooth. Although I do think it was a hyperbole.

Hey Lez, it's nice to see you here again! I don't enjoy actual poetry all that much, but I love anything that enhances language. If it didn't take so much effort, I'd properly meter everything I wrote. :P
