When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Having your teeth chipped

Thu, 2011-02-03 23:41

Having your teeth chipped teeth are an accepted risk of anaesthesia & surgery. Lots of reasons your teeth could have been chipped; difficulty getting the airway tube in, patient biting down on stuff (breathing tube, sucker tube) as they emerge from anaesthesia, or the gag used to keep your mouth open while you had your tonsils removed.

It would have been listed as one of the risks you accepted when you signed the consent to have the anaesthesia & surgery done, along with things like bruising, nausea & vomiting, headache, awareness blah blah...

 

Yep dentists can charge like wounded bulls. Just keep in mind that the dental profession doesn't seems anywhere nearly as regulated as the medical profession and "general dentists" can do (& charge similar rates) for work(crowns, root canals, even orthodontics) that "specialist dentists" do but without the same level of training/expertise. Most people just don't know any better.

Scared

Thu, 2011-02-03 20:38

Scared of the dentist personally, well to be honest, more so his bills. Just had orthodontic braces fitted to both my girls, $10,600 later.

All worth it of course, but shit thats a lot of coin.

Could be worse..

Fri, 2011-02-04 13:02

I'd rather be a dentist and look at rotten teeth all day than to be a proctologist, and therefore unable to pick my nose without holding my breath!!

But more than that - I'd rather be fishing!
