“An Unofficial Dental History,” by Bill Jones
Sep 1st, 2021 | By DefenestrationWe’ve all heard horror stories about small town medical practices. I guess I got off lucky. I grew up in the 1950s in Frederick, Maryland, at the time a town of fewer than 20,000 people. I never had to go to the local orthopedist, a man nicknamed “Wrong Knee” or had a colonoscopy performed by that doctor who kept his patients awake and just had them lean over a sawhorse to let the scoping begin. Things were a little dicier for me, though, in the dental arena.
