How a Routine Dental Exam Led to Hoof & Mouth Disease
I was looking forward to a thorough teeth cleaning, when the dental hygienist caught me off guard. After she prepped me with an oversize bib and goggles; likening the contents of my mouth to a crime scene, she paused to ask me a very inappropriate question:
"Didn't you used to have a serious illness?"
I told her that I still have a serious illness.
Then she said, "Oh, well I remember you lost a lot of weight, but it looks like you gained it all back."
When I explained that I probably lost about 10 pounds and gained five back, she covered by adding that I looked much healthier now.
Thank goodness I floss religiously, or she would've let me know how she really felt.
Needless to say I was not pleased. I wanted to tell her off, but I was too busy rinsing and spitting.
The next day I relayed the story to someone on the dialysis staff.
She thought for a moment before asking, "So you get weighed when you go to the dentist's office?"
