The Dentist: Gas Chambers aren't enough.

One of my fillings came out the other night. This in itself doesn't sound that bad (unless of course you count that the filling I had done when I was nine is still there - the one that came out was done shortly after my 18th birthday, I'm 23 now) until you take into consideration that three weeks prior to visiting the NHS dentist for a check-up I was in Yankland. While in America I went to the dentist. This dentist (a capitalist) took X-Rays, etc. and discovered that there were no cavities (except the ones that I already had filled) and the only thing wrong with my teeth was the damage already done by the NHS. Three weeks later I am back home and my mother, intent on making my life as hard as possible, makes me see the NHS dentist. The NHS dentist decided that I had six cavities (yeah, that's right 6 cavities [bad ones apparently] had appeared in three weeks). So the NHS bastard drills into my teeth, even after I informed him that I had already seen a dentist who told me there was nothing wrong with them. Now I am in immense pain and have to suck on whisky-soaked cotton wool, which is totally gross. The socialist NHS system charges for dental treatment and I don't have the money to pay a dentist to fix my teeth (I don't really want the NHS anywhere near my teeth but I am in a lot of pain). But what I want to know is how come a capitalist, who would have gained a lot of money by filling cavities, said that there was nothing wrong with my teeth (other than damage already done by the NHS) when a socialist decides that I have six cavities? Something isn't right with the NHS dental system. The British are known for having bad teeth, but when they move to foreign lands they have nothing wrong with their teeth, thus meaning that it is not genetic. So if it isn't bad genes, it must be caused by bad dentistry. The bastard NHS dentists get paid more money for drilling teeth, that doesn't sound very socialist to me. It sounds more like capitalism gone seriously wrong. I will be consulting a solicitor in the morning. The X-rays I had done in America should be in the post on Tuesday. Although personally I wouldn't gas the dentist. I think locking him in the Tower and performing bizarre, painful and unneeded dental treatments is a better solution, but unfortunately that's illegal and money seems the only way to get the NHS to stop being cock-sucking bastards.
