Coincidence
Nov. 13th, 2007 09:31 pmThe fact that the orthodontist who recently reinstalled my permanent retainer and my insurance agent from almost 20 years ago both have been clothes-lined by the long arm of the law. The orthodontist was arrested and charged with writing scrips for Vicodin and Xanax for fictitious patients, then picking up the meds himself. Age 37, posh North Shore practice, wife and two young children. The insurance agent was charged with pocketing premiums and refunds on cancelled policies in a variety of ways.
Learning all this made for a very strange day.

Date: 2007-11-15 02:53 am (UTC)this situation here is messy. my dentist, who is the nicest guy ever, feels bad since he referred so many of his patients to the ortho. It didn't help when one of his patients called to complain that he was halfway through a set of treatments with the ortho, and wanted my dentist's help in getting his money back.
