No worries. I wouldn't go so far as to call it "dumb." The desire to protect our professions can often be strong.

However, here's the thing, and I think this will make my point more than anything said thus far: You're a dentist and writer in India, all you did was read a 3 minute story about a patient in Canada, and you spent more time trrying to rule things in or out and asked more questions than any of the dentists that have physically examined my husband (up until this last one). THAT'S what makes me angry.
