Most new lawyers are struggling just to pay for the equipment in their dentist offices. My experience is that at the least indication of pain, my dentist stops and injects more anesthetic. On the other hand, the supply of full lawyers (bengoshi) is strictly limited, with only a small number allowed to pass the bar examination each year. Good luck finding one to help sue a dentist! Peter, as for your trip to the proctologist when you needed medicine for your lung infection, you should have hopped on the Namboku subway line and come down here to Shirokanedai. The old name for our Institute of Medical Science was the Institute of Infectious Diseases, and we still have a heavy concentration of doctors in that field. Our hospital is small (only 120 beds), but we do have a walk-in clinic, waiting times are pretty short, and they'll assign you to see the doctor most appropriate for your symptoms. If you have any trouble finding us, just ask Yoshikai-san. Actually, there is an over-supply of dentists in Japan, and the competition to attract and retain patients is fierce.

I bit into some crust and chipped the top part of one of my molars. But I didn't know how bad it was. I was in pain for two days and when I finally went to the dentist I explained my situation and the dentist had a look at my tooth. He said ''This won't take too long'' and told me to open my mouth. I sat in the chair and did as I was told. He then proceeded to extracted the part of the tooth that had cracked - by the way I was given nothing to dull the pain. There was blood and a bit of cursing in both Japanese and English. The pain did go away as he then capped the tooth. About 4 days later when I was in Australia the cap broke off. But my tooth was still fine. 18 moths later I had to have the remainder of the tooth extracted as it was totally decayed inside and developing into an abscess. The thing is that I actually love going to the dentist. But the above was the worst experience that I have ever had at one.

When they released him to my care he seemed completely normal and lucid... until he walked directly into the wall opposite the exit. He was doing all kinds of crazy stuff, but I needed him to direct me back to his parents' house. When we got back to his place, he seemed to have fallen asleep - only like 2 minutes later I hear him yell that he's driving (himself!) to the pharmacy to get his painkillers. I quickly joined him and took the keys, and when we arrived we were at the local "Piggly Wiggly." An establishment I never expected to find myself in in my life. The next day he didn't remember a thing. So that's kind of my worst AND best dentist story. Sorry, there was no way I was going to even attempt the Japanese on that one.
