Thinking lately about dentistry: whether those who pursue such an occupation may harbor a sadistic inclination.

Having recently received a new set of dentures after undergoing the physical trauma such a procedure entails. The experience has me wondering whether ulterior motives a practitioner might have, beyond the lucrative salary, might be in play.

One hopes a medical professional would extend a benevolence toward her victims, but I don’t know if such is necessarily the case.
