I think you dulled your pointy head by thinking too much.
I don't abuse drugs. I saw first hand as a child what drug abuse can do. I want no part of that as an adult. I also have no tolerance of drug abusers.
I did not say I don't use drugs because I do use codine when prescribed, for the ease of pain. I also use aspirin and other normal medicine, in appropriate manners.
I definately do not appreciate you calling me a liar.
I did not make it up. I go to the same dentist as I always have. But, the dentist who has worked on my teeth for the last five years has seen his practice grow substantially. He has hired some other dentists to assist him and he has moved more into the administration of the practice rather than the actual drilling.
He is excellent in doing root canals. He did emergency dental work in an emergency room for ten years prior to openning his practice(he explained that in an emergency room, he did dental work on patients who were in car accidents and other such emergencies where dental damage was present).
Now, his assistants range in talent from the best in their field to rank amatuers. The first guy, I was his first live, out of school root canal. Hence, all the screw ups...not completing it, forgetting the prescription. The reason I was told by my main dentitst that the second dentist did not get it all was that the first one mangled the root canal so bad that the second missed some of it.
This is a lot of information, but I doubt it will convince you I am telling the truth.
I am sure you will ask why I did not bring a malpractice suit. I am just not one to do that. My dentist is a friend.
With the info aside, explain to me why, in a conservative arguement - not a "that's the way it is and provide examples of other ways we regulate behaviour" arguement, as to why we who are capable of controlling our behaviour must be hindered due to the irresponsibility of others.
Just an FYI. I had two root canals, one performed by a dentist, which was a hack job, the other by an Endodontist (root canal specialist). If you ever have to get another root canal, definately see the Endodontist. It will be worth the extra money.
Since you went for the 'pointy head' joke first, I'm not going to read your comment.
