A trip to the Dentist
By xxxxxxxxxx from the a little joke for a wednesday morning department, Section Strange, but - true? Posted on Thu Mar 25, 2004 at 01:51:08 PM GMT

It's Wednesday.........Hump Day! Only 2 days til the weekend, so laugh it up!

There was this guy who went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled.
First off the dentist said, "I'll give you a shot to numb your jaw."

But the guy said, "No, please don't do that, I'm
afraid of needles."

The dentist said, "OK, I'll get out the gas to put
you to sleep."

However the guy said, "Nope, I'm allergic to the gas."
So the dentist said, "Just a minute, I'll go look
for something else."

After awhile he came back and gave the guy a couple of pills. He took the pills. Then he asked,"What kind of pills were those?"

The dentist said, "Viagra." The guy said, "WHAT! Why did you give me Viagra?

The dentist said, "They won't help the pain, but
they'll give you something to hang on to while I pull your tooth."

i get it. ha ha ha...

Anywho, I saw this as a bit coincidental, since I just went to the dentist this morning. Looks like I gotta start thinking about having the wisdom teeth out... At least for now, they're only "soft-tissue impacted".

Who's dead now?

the anesthesia didn't work all the way. i was conscious but paralyzed through parts of the operation. fortunately i couldn't feel anything, but when i came to i was able to tell the doctor about their conversations during parts of the operation.

sorry to scare you. the chances of this happening are 1 in millions if not 1 in billions.

i feel good now that i got that off my chest.

have a wonderful goatse day.

love always,

as soon as you can. Soft tissue impacted is easier on you than when they come through and cause a lot of problems (pushing the teeth closer together, causing infection in the gums, etc). The healing is a lot easier too!

I had mine done (all 4) at one time and it was not so bad really. They gave me gas and I didn't know anything until I woke up! It is just as good a feeling as morphine (which I had when I had my gall bladder removed). Nice, peaceful, floaty type sleep with no worries. I can see why people get addicted.

Good luck to you and hope that you have them out without a lot of trouble!

I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy last summer... (To make sure that there was nothing really wrong with me, given some of the digestive troubles I've had in the last few years. Besides the fairly common hiatal hernia, everything was normal, so I have the umbrella "we don't know what's wrong" diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome.) Now they use something called "conscious sedation", where they give you a combination of a few drugs to relax you and induce amnesia, so you don't remember any of the unpleasentries of the experience.

Thing is, while I don't have any particularly bad memories about the experience, I do remember being mad at them because they were blocking the monitor and I wanted to see too. I also remember everything that happened up to the moment the drugs kicked in and the process of waking up afterward. Compare to my Dad, who doesn't remember anything of the day that he had his endoscopy.

Who's dead now?
