Dentist: Good morning, young lady. What can I help you with today?
Me: My mouth really hurts. I think my wisdom teeth are coming in. Also, I think I have an infection behind number 32.
[Poke poke poke.]
Dentist: Well I'll be damned! Your wisdom teeth are coming in. You have a massive infection behind number 32. Are you from Boston?
Me: No, I'm from Montreal. Why do you ask?
Dentist: I don't know. I just thought you'd be from Boston. Well, take these. [Hands me three pills]. And I'll write you a prescription. Double whatever they tell you to take, and take it every two hours instead of every eight. Then get thee to an oral surgeon, ok? Call me if you get a fever and go straight to the ER.
Me: Um, ok. Thank you. Have a Merry Christmas, Dr. Gilbert.
Dentist: My pleasure, young lady. Good luck in school. Come see me again sometime.
Total appointment time: 9 minutes.
Total commuting time: 4 hours.
