You might be his only friend! I joke about encouraging my kids to go into dentistry but seriously it is the health care profession with the highest suicide rate.
Both of the dentists in this area-mine is one of them-are female. I’ve known her for a number of years, and she seems to be a stable person.
Interestingly, all three of the veterinarians out here within 15 miles are women, too-they seem more popular than some others, because people bring their animals to them even if another vet is closer. They see and treat animals from horses to more exotic pets...
