So I dragged my dentist phobia ass to the dentist today.
I had an appointment and as I’ve already written: nothing serious, just a routine check up.
Here’s how it went down:

• I was on time (as I always am, people not getting to appointments, meetings or other on time are disrespectful and should be killed… eh… or something).
   
• A dentist nurse informed the two other people sitting in the waiting room that they were running a bit late. Why she did not inform me I have no clue. Maybe she thought that I would kill her… for running late… eh… or something. With them running late though I got to catch up a bit on my popular science reading. There was a magazine there on the coffee table. I learnt that they now have ruled out that the dinosaur T-Rex is an ancestor of our reptiles and instead is a relative to our birds. I also learnt that some scientist believe that ancestors to the elephant were creatures who lived in the see, therefore the trunk, it’s a kind of snorkels. many scientist refute this though.
  Ok. Back to dentistry.
   
• 20 minutes late I was shown into the room and sat in the chair with the sharp light blinding me.
   
• The whole thing was over in 15 minutes and at least 5 of those were spent by the nurse demoing the new computerized photo equipment to me.
   
• There was nothing wrong with my teeth and it all was over and done with without any pain.
   
• My dentist informed me that I had a 150 sek government discount on the price. This fact cheered me up because going to the dentist always leaves a dent in the wallet. Especially for a student.
   
• I went to the counter, happy, to pay for my appointment.Small recap: A maximum of 15 minutes dental work. Nothing wrong with my teath (in fact I got a thumbs up, and I have that in writing, for taking good care of them).
• 700 sek! 700 sek! And that is with the discount. Are you fucking kidding me!?  That’s 850 sek without the discount! That is 3600 sek an hour! This also means that if I pay for the dentists time, that I payed 233 sek for computerised photo equipment demoing!
