I suppose I’ll be wise for a year longer…

I went to the dentist today. Twenty minutes of consultation (which included a seven minute video) and I had to pay $70 out of pocket. Then, when I asked them the estimate for getting my wisdom teeth out, they said something to the tune of $1530.

Yes, over one thousand dollars. that my family dental insurance doesn’t cover..

WTF? As if I didn’t have enough to pay for with my exchange coming up…

(current list:
$1500 President’s Associate’s Scholarship.
$1900 Lottery Scholarship.
$1616 Loan
-$10,000 Australian Exchange.

-$4984)

Screw dentists (indeed all doctors). What kind of a country do we live in where necessary medical procedures can only be done to those who can afford them? I’m moving to Canada.
