When you drop your 15 yo off for a cleaning at the Dentist's office,
and they call to tell you she needs a build-up and a crown,
and your part is
$710.00.
Have you considered getting a second opinion? I was told I urgently needed braces or else my jaw would end up jutting forward in hideous manner - I got two second opinions and both dentists were bewildered by the suggestion. Twenty years later, my jaw is not the last word in jaws, but it certainly doesn't jut.
Oh, boo.
ReplyDeleteAren't dentists expensive??
ReplyDeleteEven the half we pay is a ton.
=)
Yeah, hysteria will do that to you!;)
ReplyDeleteIf I am not back, Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
I would have cried out loud!
ReplyDeleteIt always seems a little less bad, when you laugh!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know that kind of hysterical laughter.

Also not funny? When the mechanic calls and says the diagnostic work alone on your car (before repairs) will be $1,200!
ReplyDeleteYa, that's not funny either.
Ack!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hope if wasn't all those yummy good chocolate caramel tartletts!

If you don't laugh, you'll cry!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Yeah, that's not funny. But I think I would have laughed, too.
ReplyDeleteCan she wait until January? That way all that money will go towards a new deductible.
Yikes! My parents got a lot of those calls for me...
