Are you talking to me?. I never made the claim, that was Rick. It is
true
that inflation is a factor and 1 million is not what it used to be. As
Bill pointed

, they make money on other deals, such
as realistae, or other investments.

cosmetic surgeons are not dentists, (perhaps you are refering or oral
surgeons)

I mean rather, plastic surgeons, although their malpractice premiums
are probably higher.

,but the starting salery for an associate dentist where I am
in LA is about 350-to 450 a day, which after taxes is like 50-70k a
year.

I caught a report on the news recently where they claimed the average
salary of a US dentist is $89,000
