My Dentist goes Cyber
If I were a VC I’d be investing strictly in Health oriented companies.
The amount of automation, modernization and catch-up that the health and medical professions require is staggering.
If you want to get your kid into a sports league, you have to go to their Doctor’s office and get a copy of their health record - on paper. If you want to have blood taken, they fill out a paper form and have you carry it to the lab. Paperwork is still the predominant way of collecting and moving information - and every dam time you go to another doctor’s office, you have to fill out the same dam form - again.
It’s so archaic - its downright embarrasing.
And to think that some VCs can’t find anywhere to invest their money. That’s even more pathetic.
So it warms my heart to receive this email from my Dentist. Next thing you know - I’ll be able to book a seat for a teeth cleaning just as easy as booking a table at a fine restaurant.
Congrats to Doctor Pope!

[...] Can you imagine innovative and truly useful customer service like this in the NHS? Well, obviously not, because we’re not customers, we’re suckers (aka taxpayers) who have to fund the damn system whether it works or not, whether we like it or not.

I tried Dr. Pope;
His office was lame and they even told me to use my savings to pay for his services..
He gave me 2 strategies… one for 23 thousand another for 49 thousand… for cosmetic therapy.
I went out of the country to canada…
He may be a great surgeon… but the system in the usa is lamo…
Get a grip… find experts out of the usa… maybe not in mexico or the eastern european countries
but a nearby 1st world country,,,
Pope Dental is not cool…end of story…
Did you notice his crappy books in the entry of his office?
Bad is bad,,, and good is good….
End of story,
