My docs just recommended higher dosage of Vitamin E because I have
degenerative eye disease in my right eye. Said it had something to do
with Age Related Eye Disease study or something.

Vitamin E does prevent vision loss. It kills you before your eyesight
fails.

Just out of curiosity, when you remove a tooth, do you tell your
patients it will only hurt until it stops hurting? :)

From the NYT:

November 10, 2004
Vitamin E May Be Harmful, Study Finds
By REUTERS

It would be nice to know why the higer death rate in E takers. I need it to
sleep. It has a similar effect to aspirin in keeping arteries from blocking.
I was told to stop taking it a week or so before minor surgery. I guess cuts
bleed longer when on E. I put up with the restless leg thing at night til I
read that E will stop it. The article said to just increase dose til the
cramping stops. It took 800 to 1200 daily to do it. In a couple days it
worked, where nothing else ever did.

A dentist story:

Once upon a time, the Veterans Administration was doing some
periodontal wok (cutting my gums back) on my mouth. This was the final
dental work the military was going to do for me.

The periodontist was just completing her residency (internship? - not
sure what it's called).

She worked on one quadrant of my mouth every month. I would sit in the
chair, she would sneak a needle behind my back, and then she'd say,
"This is going to sting just a little bit."

Just before the second round of cutting, after she lied about
"stinging" a little, I stopped her and said, "Let's be honest, this is
going to feel like an ice pick going through the roof of my mouth into
my brain. Why don't you just tell me the truth?"

Her reply was, "Colonel Herring, do you really think I'd have much of
a practice if I told all my patients that?" She did have a point.

At the third visit, she had a new assistant. When she was ready to
give me the shots she held the needle right in front of my eyes and
said, "Colonel, this is going to feel like an ice pick going right up
to your brain!"

We then both looked at her new assistant. He was wearing a mask, but
his eyeballs *were* damn near as big as saucers as he stood there in
shock. We all laughed until we had tears in our eyes.

Then she gave me the shots. ****!

I wonder if fish oil will be the next thing to take a hit. That might
help the bait supply in the Chesapeake Bay (from whence comes a lot of
fish oil) and help clean the water up. Sure hope so.

That stuff, Novocaine(?), just never did much for me. Maybe if I'd

The topical gel applied before the needle is benzocaine. It helps only a
little bit. The best way to ensure that a shot is painless is to inject
sloooooooooowly. However, there is almost no way to make those shots in
the palate painless. I almost never give 'em...but I don't do perio
surgery. There is a lidocaine transdermal patch that, if applied about 10
minutes before the palatal shot, works pretty well.

BTW--we don't use novocaine anymore. We use lidocaine, mepivacaine,
bupivacaine, articaine, or prilocaine. Articaine works better than any of
them...and bupivacaine lasts the longest.

I just mentioned that to my lovely, long suffering bride yesterday and

What is a heater?

1 - An apparatus that heats or provides heat.
2 - One who heats something or tends a heating apparatus.
3 - Slang. A pistol.
4 - Baseball. A fastball.

My problem with winter isn't the white stuff, it's all the brown time
between now and April. I'll also say the transition times, the spring
greening and the autumn color, are almost worth it, almost.

Well, summers in Northern Florida are not bad. But once you reach the
latitude of Orlano, it is hot as Hades beginning in about April.

But Hades is much drier...and the people are just so damn mean and grumpy
all of the time. At least the mean and grumpy people leave Florida in the
Summer.
