I had to watch this again and it never gets old. As a kid my dentist didn’t believe in the gas, Novocaine and used a minimal amount of other medical pain relievers. As a consequence, sitting in the lobby reading my Highlights, my thoughts were often interrupted by the shrills of pain by the many kids getting teeth pulled or cavities drilled.
When my dentist retired in high school, the practice replaced him with a younger, less tolerant dentist that over applied the nitrous for even a cleaning session. Who’ hasn’t compared finger trails, asked “Is this forever?” and wondered uncertain of their own reality?
Best line besides the screeming:
Why is this happening to me? Is this gonna be forever?
