Discount! Discount!

some of you may or may not know that I work as a dental technician in a pretty busy local lab in GA. we get heaps of work from several local doctors.

Here is where I get to vent! -

Price of a Crown - 700-900$ (what dr. charges here)

Price we charge Dr - 120$ ( he makes 580$ profit off the top)

If i were to ask Dr. for a price cut, he'd laugh and say "thats what your insurance is for," my insurance only pays 50%,.. thats like 500$ out of my pocket for him to seat something i made for him, what a Joke!

anyway, we got a case in the other day, a 3unit bridge,.. prescription says "Discount, Discount!  this person works in doc's office!"

blah!,.. it hit a nerve.... im sure you could imagine
