MY ROOT CANAL

++Since I have had so many,it was just a humdrum affair. But I did ask my dentist whether he knew that average Americans could not afford one. He said yes and explained that his costs were primary equipment,lab tests and materials for implants. He said you could get exactly the same materials and equipment at one-third the price overseas. He cited Brazil where he had recently been. He mentioned the new tourist trade to Central America to get implants are a cut-rate that justify the plane fare.

++He told me that if he imported these materials or the equipment into the country he would have his dentist license revoked. Congress at the behest of medical equipment manufacturers put a law in prohibiting such practices and mandating penalties.

++I countered that his profession lobbied to have dentistry excluded from "Obamacare" Smiling, he said that was great. So you now have half his office with financial planners and people who cut their bones in the financial industry.

++He said he gave one free dental clinic per month. Primarily he said he did alot of extractions. "Some of these people have been in pain for more than two years." So these clinics were for people too far gone for preventive care. 

++At least all the technicians  were Ethiopian women, who are amazingly beautiful.
