horrible fate
At the dentist
Not really. I just go for routine checkups and professional cleaning. Today they had me put in one of these things for the first time in my life, even though I have been to the dentist dozens of times in my life, this was never used before.
It hurt my mouth after a moment and I objected to using it.
A bit of related trivia - a couple weeks ago I've been forced to go to three different dentists, visiting them in the interval of several days. One of my canines got a small (couple of mm.) chip from the tip breaking off, so I went to a dogtor to polish that stuff. Instead he got me a big filling, and took 2000 roubles for that. He was Armenian, btw. The problem was, the filling was too big and I couldn't close my jaws all the way. So I went to another clinic and they grinded the filling down (it's a private clinic but they did it for free because I had my med insurance doc with me and they have a policy about that). But since I couldn't feel anything because of anesthesia, I thought everything was ok, but it turned out that the tooth is still about 0.5 mm too big. So I went to the third clinic and then finally got it fixed for good.
Morale of the story: Armenians = Jews.
PS: At the third clinic they gave me a choice: "we can give you a regular anesthetic shot for free, but it's kinda weak, or we can give you a mighty powerful one, but it's gonna be 300 roubles young man." And since I'm such a chicken shit I opted for the mighty and powerful. And shit, they didn't dissapoint. The cyringe was big as heck, all glass, reusable kind of deal. And she got me three jabs - two to the outside side of the gum and one in the inside part. Got a stomatitis on that gum the next day. It was a govs clinic, btw.
PPS: I'm not from Moscow, btw, I don't know why my countryball shows it.
