Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Dentists

It occurred to me only earlier this morning, that dentists do in fact speak a different language.

Having told me that everything was "good" I mistakingly sat up to leave. It was about at this point I was restrained and subjected to much unpleasant scraping and proding. A short time went by (it may have been longer but I might have passed out), and I was asked whether I was ok. It was at this point I tried to say "does it look like I'm alright?!?! I'm drowning in my own blood as you stick metal prongs into my gums", but in the end merely replyed "guh". As she bidded adieu at the end of the appointment with the words "have a nice day", it was all I could to to bite my already swollen tongue before I told her where she could shove her multi-function flossing kit.

As a kid I was always told you needed that special something to be a doctor or a dentist. I didn't realise it was a healthy interest in torture. Torture and smiling.
