Until recently, I would have never been so presumptious as to give a President advice. With this one, well I have no qualms.
If he really wants to do something about the health care in America, he should only have to pass a law stating that dentists must maintain a practice that is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If this gets around dentists are going to pitch a bitch but I have a solution for that also. In each community where there are one or more dentists then one of them should be open at all times on a rotating basis. This radical approach could be paid for by a simple tax of $ 10.00 on each man, woman and child in the USA. I would personally pay my share in advance.
This weekend, Dorothy and I both had toothaches. Is there anything that hurts worse than a toothache. I have been shot (self-inflicted), have been hit in the nose on more than one occasion, have cut myself on numerous occasions, and been hit by a train. I have not had a child but have been backed up a couple of times that required some deep breathing and I swear that I know of nothing that surpasses the pain involved in a toothache. Oh, just dab on a bit of orajel. Orajel, my aching butt, that stuff is about as worthless as rubbing lard on a tooth. Well then, can you see me on the second thursday of next month? Hell no, I am about a block from your home and will be there in about 3 minutes. You had better have some opiates, preferably something that causes me to go into a temporary coma, or things are going to get ugly. I once had a dental procedure that required the use of percodan. Now that is a wonder drug. That stuff ought to be issued to a new born infant and the perscription ought to be for a lifetime supply.
I know, it sounds like I am wussie but if your toes curl everytime you take a deep breath and cold air runs across your tooth, well, then you know how I feel.
We need the President to get the hell out of Afganistan, where the people have learned to live with tooth pain, and get on track for curing some problems around here.
Chuy the toothless
I hope you are feeling better!
Not only does Gary know how to run the medical services for us, but his movie critique was spot on. I spent 2 1/2 hours loving Republicans & Lincoln. As Gary said, it is a great movie for all to see. Thanks O Great One!
