Area resident Gary Plunkett, who spent several months doing his own research on a variety of subjects, has expanded his self-directed practice to include dentistry, performing a molar extraction at his kitchen table on Sunday.
Plunkett, who holds no degree but does hold strong opinions, said he no longer trusts experts who spent a decade studying a field he understood within an afternoon. His sources include a forum, a video, and a feeling.
Friends report that Plunkett has also begun doing his own electrical work, his own law, and his own air traffic control. He is reportedly very confident, which he considers a substitute for being correct.
