Private dentist today. Anaesthaesia which to me didn't work as I didn't feel woozy at all. Two dentists tried 4 times to get the sedation in. Once in both arms and twice in the back of hand.
Numbness and removal of tooth. £350. Like i did expect perhaps £200 so surgery was very busy and have asked receptionist a breakdown of today's treatment.
I await that.

>>> Anaesthaesia which to me didn't work as I didn't feel woozy at all
That could well be a sign of how well it really did work!
The drug you had was probably similar to the one which I had when I had my prostate operation, which was done with a regional anaesthetic. (i.e. with me fully conscious). It's purpose is to reduce anxiety, rather than to create wooziness. I was fully alert (and, indeed, chatty) throughout the operation but totally unconcerned that someone had pushed tubes up the most intimate part of my male anatomy and was hacking bits out of my insides.
If you didn't feel scared or worried during your dental procedure, the drug was similarly working exactly as it should be. (Wooziness would actually be a sign that something was going wrong!)

Oh I was worried Chris and whilst lying down I started to get a bad headache I wanted to sit up. Whilst they were working on the arms my eyes deliberately looked at clock and it was 3.40pm and I knew they spent 10 minutes trying to get the sedation in - that would have brought them up to 3.50 and tooth was out at 4.05 so definitely not woozy for minutes but I did let them know in a nice way of course. The back of my hand as I am typing is very painful with two puncture marks in it. Never again
I went into Boots today my Oral B, after 10 years, slowly giving up the ghost as to being able to turn it off after its two minute timer 'bumps'.
Got one for £20, half price, so about what I paid at Waitrose, which, if I remember well was £19, the cashier saying that she had the same new model and very good it was.
However, could I but help notice that they had an Oral B model on sale at £180 - and this was 50 percent off - who in eff's sake would pay £360 for a ruddy toothbrush?
At this price, I would expect Alan Fitztightly, Prince Charles' valet, to put the paste on the brush or some form of deviant sexual satisfaction. In short, even if I was worth £400 mill, there is still nor way I would spend nigh on £400 on an effing toothbrush.
Pray, what does it offer over and above a bog-standard Oral B electric toothbrush? And how many are they going to sell on 'Pydar Street in Truro - Bond Street maybe......?
