        I think she meant Google being the only option. -- nm - The Most Interesting Stephen in The World Apr 2, 19:24 2

      - apparently but he didn't apply for it properly this year, hence the full payment amount - pixitude Apr 2, 18:50 1
        
        that was dumb. I'm sure there's some sort of incentive program. there's a severe problem with dental care in that area. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 18:52
    - Mid five figures per month for salary seems really high for right out of college -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 18:45 5

        dentists are desperately needed in appalachia. what kind of clinic is he working in? -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 18:51 2
