So I got to the dental school, waited, was received by a four-year student, got examined, winced a lot, had an X-ray of the culprit, waited, was told I couldn't have oral surgery today, waited, got a prescription, and eventually left.

I can go back in anytime this week when they open, and then who knows how long it will take them to extract the tooth.

I'm glad they recognized how much pain I'm in. It's nice to have that externally validated, you know?

How are they going to extract it? With a crane and pulley? Laser scalpel? What? What's so complicated they've got to make you wait? *boggle*

It's at the dental school, and it was late in the day by the time they saw me. I'd need to come in the a.m.

Oh okay. *whew*

I agree with medical validation being good. I'm very fond of an ear nose throat doc who once said something like "Now, you just told me this a minute ago, and it's not rocket science for me to realize it, but wow! You must have a *really* sore throat!"

Heh. And you can only sit there and nod emphatically.
