Friday Tidbits: Quiz Show, Doctors As Entrepreneurs and Dr. Collins

quizshow One of my favorite movies is Quiz Show which retold the story of Charles Van Doren’s notorious championship on the game show Twenty-One. If you haven’t seen the movie (where have you been??), add it to your Netflix queue right now. Van Doren published his side of the story on the The New Yorker – click here to read it.

Why do doctors make such bad entrepreneurs? The Amateur Economist discusses the topic – click here to read it. As you read it, substitute “dentist” for “doctor” and see how it flows.

Dr. Collins recently sent me some products to try out – a few of the items came with me to Chicago recently. I wanted to tell you about two of them – the All-White Toothpaste and the Interdental Cleaners. I’m loving the toothpaste since it has xylitol in it – my new favorite ingredient. Remember a few days ago how I said that Emdogain is considered by many to be a periodontal miracle? Judging from what I’ve read and heard about xylitol, it falls into the same dental “manna from heaven” category. The taste is good and I think it’s hiding the effects of my Diet Coke addiction pretty well.

interdental-tip The Interdental Cleaners travel with me. I have pretty tight contacts so I find myself using them often while on the road. My Hydro Floss doesn’t fit in my purse and that’s okay – these little guys work out great. Give them a try.
