OK. You still with me? Yes, it has been a while. We don't even know....

We catch up with the last year! You can fast forward. Or not.

Ever dismissed an entire family for the behavior of a single member? Dismiss the ONE? Or is it grounds to dismiss EVERYONE? Can you hate TOO many people?

Petty cash. Do you still use that? Why/why not?

OK. Clearly it has been a minute. Holly is sorry (Lance doesn't care).

We catch up, we talk travel, charity, and the grind of dentistry.

One for the ages

WI are on "location"!

"Live" from Palm Desert, we catch up. Christmas is over, we catch up. We tackle some "reddit" input and some listener mail.

Are you open between Christmas and New Years? Why or why not?

As a listener, are we considered friends?

So your hands shake when treating patients?

Wow! Time flies. Where have we been?

I can explain....

Ok. Slightly more sober now.

We delve into Facebook groups and share advice. Issue 1: New owner buys practice and will be FFS (fee for service). Must you credential them?

Issue 2: PPO third party negotiator can't get all relevant info? What to do?

Dental influencers. Do you strain muscles patting yourself on the back? Is your pity party well attended?

Peace.

I can explain

We are back for more, giving Yapi love like we do... Seriously, don't be dumb.

We traveled, but not together. Ever done a solo trip?

Advice today was for 3 anonymous posts. They really get around. First: How do you handle a parent that you have never met that brings in long time pediatric patients and makes a scene?

If you only work 2 days per week but a new patient calls after hours, who makes the call? Using a personal cell phone?

Adulting sucks. If a parent tells their kid that they now pay their dental bill, but the kid won't pay, who is responsible?
