Forums > Social Discussion > Guy wants to extract his own teeth...

I found a thread thats just recently started, about a guy who's in so much pain that he wants to pull out his own teeth, because he cant afford surgery.

I thought id share the link, as i found the conversation so fascinating, and the reaction of the different people on the thread is so varied. It says alot about human nature...
If this is genuine (i reckon it might be), it makes me wonder what i would do *if* no-one would help.....

ouch

pulling teeth

There has to be some kind of emergency dental care in America.



Then again, it is America...

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

This sort of thing happens regularly in reginal Australia, even if you have money, since there is a great shortage of all medical people, especially dentists. The public system is useless even in the cities as a mate of mine almost pulled out a tooth herself in Gympie (2 hours from a capital city and itself a very large town equiped with a substantial public hospital). Someone else I work with in Brisbane waited about a week for a private dentist even with money because of the shortage of dentists. There was also someone who actually did pull a tooth themselves repoorted on the news a few weeks ago,and I have heard that this is not an uncommon practice by people with tooth aches and iether no money of no nearby dentist , regardless of moneyto pay or not. This is definitly not a country to be a smoker or soft drink drinker in, or to get sick in at all realy.

At least its not as bad as America though, sounds like that country is a place were the medical symbol of the snake on a stick means you wave a witchcraft stick at yourself first, hit yourself on the head with it if that dousent work, and if all else fails bite yourself to death with the poison snake. No wonder they have that symbol in our public health system in Australia aswell. (Fortunatly we have an abundance of deadly serpents aswell) At least Queensland no longer has Jayant Patel (DR Death) , just the system that employed him in the first place and tryed to cover up his mistakes.
