As many may know, molars start out in pieces which fuse together. When I was a kid, my molars did not fuse together 100%, which meant I had five cavities that needed filling. Ok, standard.

Well, my dentist did not feel that children should be given drugs, so I had five cavities (three in one sitting, two in another) drilled with no painkillers, numbing agents, nothing. Needless to say, it was horrible.

My parents didn't say anything about it because, frankly, they figured he knew what the hell he was talking about. Plus, he was our neighbor and I guess they assumed he was looking out for my best interests.

Dammit, now that I think about it more, maybe my parents set the whole thing up. Bastards.
