House

Today was one of those days where I woke up and thought "Wow, I can't wait for the dentist office to open."  Ever had one of those days? No? Me either actually. I'm afraid of dentists like people are afraid of clowns for no real reason but still SCARY. Once they finally opened I called and got the earliest appointment I could. I figured they would scold me for not flossing properly. You see my gums hurt tremendously. Just OUCH. So I was expecting them to lecture me and clean my teeth and send me on my way with orders to "Floss like a ninja" ( not sure how flossing like a ninja is better than actually just flossing but I digress.)  What I got instead was "Well this isn't something that is normally seen so I'm going to go get another doctor just to see if they think what I'm thinking."  

Well that doctor brought ANOTHER doctor who also wanted to look. Nice. They referred me to a specialist for a biopsy. BIOPSY!!! Lucky for me he looked at it and said "Oh that's not something I would biopsy unless this stuff here doesn't seem to be doing anything for it." It was good to hear but I had to make another trip back to the first dentist to confirm the prescription. When I went back I had to speak to a coworker of his because he was at lunch and I was told, "Yeah I got to hear all about what's going on it seems like everyone got to look." I felt like a medical mystery one that needed to be solved by an expert all while being viewed by an audience. I now understand what a patient on the show House must feel like. Famous and yet in pain. Ah House...how do you do it?
