My daughter and I finally went to the dentist. I managed to snag an appointment online on my second try. We arrived and the waiting room was packed. It's kind of sad to see things like this. Some people had appointments, but most were in the walk-in line. Since we had an appointment, we got into the exam room pretty quickly. The dentist was a young woman, a real gem. Knowing there was a never-ending line outside, she did the exam quickly and confidently. My daughter had two teeth right across from each other, one top and one bottom, both with cavities. They were baby teeth, and the top one was already loose. So, without much thought, we decided to just pull them – no point in treating baby teeth... The dentist immediately gave her a shot. While it was taking effect, she entered the patient's information into the computer. Then, just as quickly, she removed the teeth, and that was it! When we first walked into the room, a man peeked in and started talking about how he's from the SMO (Special Military Operation), is on a month's leave, and they're obligated to see his child immediately, without waiting in line. The dentist explained that there are other priority categories, like children with disabilities, and everyone is waiting. She said they'd get to everyone, but they just needed to wait a bit... These kinds of disputes just take up everyone's time... I have nothing against SMO participants, but when the waiting room is full of children...
