Dental Insurance

the dentist's office

I took W to the oral surgeon. He said it would be quick and asked me to wait outside. After about 10 minutes he came out and asked me if I have the insurance card.

I tell him I don't have it. He says I must because it's not in his wallet. I tell him that neither I nor the kids have had a dental exam this year. His response - "Well, then how did it get out of my wallet?"

hmmm - a mystery, random insurance marauder? Or another case of him blaming me for everything?

I suggested that he ask his primary dentist for a copy (there in the same building) and he gets even more agitated - worried that he's going to look stupid because he doesn't know his insurance.

I tune out and after a few minutes he heads back in to his appointment.

success.
