Re: Dentistry
Not all dentists can prescribe drugs. I used to have to take a large dose of antibiotics before every cleaning since I had scarlet fever as a child, and my dentist always had her husband, a dental surgeon, write the prescription.
I don't know how this would affect the skills required to build a dentist character, but it seems worth mentioning.

I can vouch that dental surgeons in Canada have prescribing powers; I had to visit a dental surgeon to have my wisdom teeth out, as they had barely appeared on an X-Ray by the time they were extracted... the key to being raced ahead in line appears to be the magic words "...but my insurance expires next month!" As a point of interest, dental surgery doesn't appear to be covered by our provincial healthcare system - or at least not completely, for things like wisdom tooth extraction. I would like to think that an abscess (life threatening) would be, but I'm sort of frightened to ask. It's an obnoxious gap, considering that some aspects of dental healthcare can be critically important.

Sounds like your dentist passed up the Affliction advantage for Social Regard. Only so many points, after all, but you know that's not how most players would spend 'em. GEF |
