ive had a few different dentists through my life
some good, some bad
one was a real jerk, i liked him
about 15 years ago he told me i had a bad molar that needed extracted, so i say, go ahead doc, rip it out
well, he didnt want to, and tried referring me to an oral surgeon
i off course didnt go, this was HIS job, he was my dentist and what else did i pay him for?
well, i moved out of town shortly after and kinda forgot about it
untill about 2 years later, i wake up on a friday nite and my tooth is just killing me, i mean, making childbirth feel like a splinter, pain
i couldnt stand it
so i told the wife to get out the yeller pages, get on the horn and get me a dentist who could perform an exorcism on the pain in my mouth
so she called
and called
and finally found one who was willing and able to do it
so i get the address, drive over there and wouldnt you know it...its my old dentist who told me to have that molar extracted
he pulled it out, so i guess i won but he never did let me live it down
(im guessing he made a note in my chart because he mentioned it EVERY SINGLE TIME i was there)
i guess about two years ago he suffered a stroke
took him pretty close to the brink
he tried to get back into it, but i guess he had lost too much dexterity in his hands, so he sold his practice just before this scamdemic started...i hope he got a good deal on it
i really liked that guy
