A new study revealed that roughly 80% of all practicing dentists do not realize that they are dentists. Although they do good work and get high marks of satisfaction from their patients, they have no idea that the term "dentists" could apply to what they do.
As they go to work each day, they ask themselves: What am I doing? Why do I feel compelled each day to fix strangers' teeth? They seem to want to pay me money for this service. Is there a connection?
The other 20% of dentists, those who realize they actually are dentists, try to convince their colleagues to understand why they are being paid to work on teeth - or at least try to convince them to tell others they are dentists at cocktail parties - but to no avail.
This is why 20% of all dentists are very lonely, as the majority of other dentists will not admit to themselves they have chosen this life.
