Buddy Robert had those snap-in dentures done. The one where they drill metal spikes in your gums for the dentures to stick to.
The person who did his work rented space in a dentist's office once a week in the US so she could do this sort of work. The rest of the time she works in Tijuana.
Buddy Robert had to go back five times because the work was not done correctly. Every time he went cost him a thousand bucks. He finally got to the 'good enough' point and has regretted not sticking with his traditional Martha Rae's.
Funny thing about that. Americans like to go to Tijuana for cheap medical, but Tijuanans come to the US because they can get put in 'the system' and get free medical care. Then, we have Tijuanan doctors come up for a taste of the American medical insurance system. I figure what they don't make in TJ, they can come up and get.
I want to say it's kind of a little maybe sort of give-and-take, like. You do a little something-something for us, we'll scratch your back. The downside is if something goes wrong, well, good luck if something goes wrong. Might as well pay extra for an American doctor who has a governing body and government to answer to, should something malpracticy happen. If something happens with a TJ doctor on either side, you'll wind up with an American doctor, anyway.
I do not know what to call people from Tijuana so I will call them Tijuanan. Spell check hates it but I'm using it. If I offend, get over it.

My bottom teeth are junk too,I've only worn them a few times,I can eat some pretty crazy stuff though

[Rwise]

I remember the old folks sticking their teeth out, but not once did I hear some one say these thing hurt! Not to mention the entire reason I wanted them was to be able to eat things like nuts, pizza, steak, but I read these are nonos along with anything sticky like peanut-butter. That hamburger is ok but use your fork and knife cutting it into bite size pieces. IF I could only swallow with these things in my mouth!
Gingerbeard your turn is coming, so hang on to that stash of cocaine, your gonna need it!

[Gingerbeard]

I do not believe in karma. But I really feel like making a joke will come back to haunt me. Strange.

[dirtymike]

Yes Sir , My grand father would say "em sumbithes hurt" .Thats why they stayed in the cup in the bathroom. LOL

[Rwise]

I hate my new teeth! The partial is not to bad but the lower plate, well its going to take some time to get used to. Just try to eat drink or talk with a golf ball in your mouth!

No comma

[dirtymike]

So which is it Gingerbeard Bluey - Fuck, God! Or Fuck God! The second is diffidently blasphemies to "God" Catholic or not. The first I have said many times, When i get a hookup from a SHBT!! but a OH goes in the middle

[dirtymike]

80% DV, 20% CRDP. I fart wrong and a eagle shits. Thank you tax payers

[Rwise]

I tried to call my Dr, no answer not even a single ring line went dead. So I go by the office to find a note on the door "Office permanently closed". There went 30 years of records, and I cant find what happened, is he dead, did he retire, crash his car or what. So I am now looking for a new primary.
I make to much for the deals in medical, not by a lot but they draw the line and dont cross it.

[Gingerbeard]

Fuck, God!
-or-
Fuck God!
That can definitely get lost in translation.

[Bluey]

The Italians, the home of Catholicism and the root of much evil, have a saying literally translated as, "Fuck God!"

I like that expression.

Something a lot of folks don't realize is the poorer you are, the more governments will give you. Tack on a disability or two, and veteran status and you don't pay for medical, prescriptions, or basic vision and dental.
Once you get in a system, you can get in the groove and know what to expect. But when one thing changes in the chain, absolutely everything else falls apart. Like, the new patient portal my clinic has implemented is lacking even the abilities of contacting my primary or having a prescription renewed. So many people have been having issues that having 45 people ahead of me when I call is not out of the question. The only thing to do is get a callback.
I realize my good fortune in being poor. But I also see benefits in being able to swipe my card to see who I want, when I want.
