My radiologist's xrays all come out slightly purple instead of black, so I imagine he also has an M8. That or he's not leaving em in the fixer long enough.
 
'A doctor (likely M8 owner) is doing his rounds of the hospital ward one morning ... intending to make an entry on the chart of the patient he's been examining, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a rectal thermometer ... looking at it irritably he shouts out:

"Ok ... what bum's got my pencil?"[/QUOTE]

Diner to scatty waitress, "Do you know you have a tampon behind your ear?" Waitress, replies " Gee I wondered where I put my pencil!"::eek:
Sorry Keith!! do you think we have lowered the tone enough??

For a second I thought I clicked on Photo.net. I guess once in a while it doesn't hurt to get silly, but here's my serious response: In my varied career over 30+ years dealing with thousands of health professionals including dentists, I have met maybe a hundred physicians and dentists who were seriously into photography, and to my eyes, quite talented. However, I have personally met only 3 dentists and 4 physicians who owned and predominantly used Leica. I'm sure there are more out there, but from my observation I would put the proportion of health professionals using Leica vs Canon/Nikon at the same proportion it is among the general population of serious amateur photographers.
 
might be interesting to ask how many m8 owners are photographers. The sort that earns a living from photography.
 
M8s are not that good in close-ups and macros, so I don't understand the relationship implied on this poll. Any SLR does a better job in teeth and gums photography.
 
When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My mama noticed funny things I did
Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun
I'd poison guppies and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said

What did she say?

She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

I personally think Pablito's poll would make a lot more sense.. (cents?)

My dentist is a young girl (maybe 27-28). really attractive too. I ended up being her client completely accidentally.
Next time i go there i will ask her if she has an m8. Although i am pretty sure she has no clue what that is.

Once she was working on one of my lower teeth, she wanted to tell me to move my head into another position, and expressed in a fery strange way. She said: (translating from dutch) "Would you please look a bit downwards in the direction of my chest". To make it worse, "chest" and "breasts" is the same in dutch (or maybe there's a separate owrd, but she used the wone that also means breasts). I didnt know how to react, could not even laugh having a mouth full with metal tools and fingers. Looked at the assistent, she wasn't reacting, so i guess it's a normal thing for them:D

Is she taking new patients?

Funny poll. What's next?
 
Yes and no... I earn my money as a dentist but I prefer being a photographer.... So as the poll has no "undecided" option, I didn't vote....

Hmm.. One of my best friends is a dentist - and a priest. Trained to be a vicar in the Church of England. Switched to dentistry when he found out about the salary...
 
My dentist doesn't have an M8; he has an MP that he treated himself to on his 50th b-day. He also has an M4 and a darkroom.

He's on the left, our own Tom A is on the right:

And all this fun fully reimbursed by the health insurance :)
 
Not fully reimbursed,only about 75%, and even for that, i take extra health insurance about 8 euro a month.
But yes, when it was the last visit of the series, and i was leaving, i told her "Thanks for all, i *almost* enjoyed it!" and she said, "see you in six months" :D

Yes, she takes new patients (after this story a friend of mine who was looking for one, went immediately to subscribe), not sure though about clients from overseas...

Jaap, do you say something like this, when you want the patient to move his (her) chin lower? "Kijkt u even naar beneden, in de richting van mijn borsten"? :D
 
My Urologist has an M8 and it really pisses me off. Now I wonder about my proctologist? (How do you spell that?)
 
I just happened to have a dental appointment this morning....so I checked it out.
My dentist is a pretty young woman. Photography is her hobby. She uses a Nikon DSLR.
I use an M8 and am not a dentist. What are you trying to prove here? ;-)
