Things happen in life and one of them is disagreement 's.

I'm sorry to any Doc go and happy to see Dr. Randall still around.

Perhaps we can tell our orthos about this site and see if any of them would like to contribute to our forum in their spare time.

Its always nice to get a variety of opinions when we ask questions. I didn't always agree with Dr Rick or Dr Randall in some of their answers but I appreciated their input tremendously. Heck, they don't get paid for coming here. And some of us just need reassurance before our next ortho visit.

Lets get the word out to our orthos about this site. Watcha say, guys??

Wow, I didn't know anything about that. I thought he was just on vacation or something. I wish he'd come back, but I'm glad we've still got Dr. Randall.

I totally agree that thier is nothing wrong with two docs disagreeing with each other, but you can still maintain some PROFESSIONAL COURTESY :-(*, and not discredit each others training! Even though Im new to this message board, I enjoyed seeing the opinions of two doctors.

DR. RICK, Im pretty sure I speak for almost everyone on this board when I say that it would be greatly appreciated if you came back!

Since my treatment finished, I must admit I haven't been frequenting the board daily like I used to in the past. I still try and call in a couple of times a week.

I've just been reading through Dr. Ricks last postings in the Biscuspid extraction disadvantages and etc? post, and it was disheartening to see the relationship between the two Docs degenerate somewhat.

I thought both the docs offered valuable and considered advice. It is a shame Dr. Rick has gone, it must have been fairly demanding having to answer every 'ask the doc' post, which is why I thought when Dr. Randall joined the forum it may have suited them both to share the workload. Apparently that was not the way it was to work out, but it was very much greatly appreciated by all Metal Mouth Members, the measured advice and time contribution the docs gave freely to this forum.

Maybe Dr. Rick is just going to take a lengthly time-out from this part of his busy activities and may one day return in whatever capacity to the board, but at least we can still be greatful that we still have one Doctor (Dr. Randall) one reply away from a quick inquisitive posting.
