Buss Patterson missed practice today

This reminds me of a funny story. When I was in college at Syracuse, I kept putting off getting my wisdom teeth out. By the time of my junior year they were really impacted. The pain was so bad I finally decided to see a dentist. I didn't know any dentists in Syracuse so I just went with Doctor Rothenberg because his office was within walking distance of the campus. I get in the chair and he says to me in really heavy Jewish accent, which was kind of on the edge of hocking up a luggy, "David, David, David <<he puts is hand on his cheek>>. Look at your teeth!!!! Why didn't you come to me soooner!!! Hoockkk Oyyy Veyy." So I ask him was he going to gas me before he takes them out. He says, "Just Novacane and this." And he shows me a big pair of pliers.

So the first three come right out. It was kind of weird how easy it was to pull out someone's teeth. But the fourth one was a completely different animal. The pain was unbearable so Dr. Rothenberg gives me a second shot of Novacane. Then a third. And then a fourth shot of Novacane! I'm kind of watching him though the slit of my eye, and he's working my jaw with both hands and the pliers. He has sweat breaking on his brow. The pain is insanely bad. And then the tooth finally started to come out. At that moment, the pain was so bad, everything went white!! And for a brief moment, I saw God! The next thing I remember was seeing Doctor Rothenberg with a big smile on his face holding my tooth with the pliers. Looking back on it now it's kind of a nostalgic college memory. Kind of like when I was at the game when the Pearl made the famous half court shot to beat BC in the last second.

Man, that was the funniest post of the day! I imagined that voice and am laughing again thinking about it. ...I had my wisdom teeth pulled, but luckily I got gassed. My face was pretty swollen though afterward and I made sure to get a picture taken of it.

I was really suffering from impacted wisdom teeth when I was a junior at Syracuse, so much so that I got up in the middle of a history mid=term and started to leave the room because I was in so much pain. The professor, Dr. Warren Walsh, took so much pity on me that he called his dentist for an emergency appointment... and then drove me to the dentist's office. I had not thought about that in years until I read your post.
