Teeth

Officially I have them, a dentist told me.

Today was my first check up with the new dentist who handled my root canal. Obviously, having done all that work, he expected a nice chunk of follow up activity. Ten minutes or so of prodding and he announced he had found a small cavity he ought to fill at some point but that was all.

He took some X-rays but his heart wasn't in it. He even said that my brushing was quite good - odd given that its usually what dentists moan at me about.

Well, anyway, that's another chore out of the way for another 6 months.

Scary Math

A Doctor on Channel 4 news last night stated that currently SARS is doubling every 2 weeks and the trend has been working well since it was first noticed.

That means that in about 10 weeks time we could have over 1,000,000 infected and, assuming the death rate remains constant, a death toll of over 50,000...

Watching the news is like watching an end of the world TV SF show...
