Hey, if we can just hold out a little longer, we can watch as the British version of the dental part of socialized medicine falls apart. I read today that:

"A survey of 5,200 patients across England showed that some six percent of patients have begun doing a spot of home dentistry, a quarter had chosen to pay a private dentist and that 10 percent of patients had no dentist at all because they could not find one on Britain's National Health Service (NHS)."

Sure, on the night that I lost the last of my baby-teeth, I pried three out with a butter knife, but would I expect everyone else to do it? Not in the least.

DIY surgery next?
