本周末鱼肉了两次。一次是看牙医，经历了那么多年没有牙医保险的研究生生涯，我有了保险也没敢看－－－实在是害怕啊。结果最近一粒大牙疼，终于拖不下去，看牙医去了。拍了片子洗牙，躺在牙医椅子上满嘴里给填的各式器械，当真有任人宰割的感觉。洗完了牙看片子，我老的牙齿还不错，只有４粒要补，还需要深度清洁一下儿。
出了牙医的门感觉时间尚早，乃去作脸。小娘照例推荐各式保养品，老子脸捏在人家手里，也不敢露出来不耐烦，恩恩哦哦的应付。
不过两样做好，人还是感觉舒服。好像某劳模同学曾说：牙医是很好的人，应该去找他们。

人为刀殂，我为鱼肉
不知道白博是怎么挤的时间哈，我在我们这一行还是新学后进，虽然玩心很重。我平时是挤的工作和学习时间写博看碟听歌旅游。懒觉是睡的，网站是泡的。身体是不怎么锻炼的。

我刚刚拔掉另外两颗智齿，这样4颗智齿终于历经3年完全处理掉。
拔完上两颗容易拔的智齿，牙医说需要去口腔外科医生那里拔下面两颗埋藏比较深的。于是我就一直没有时间约。然后就发现怀孕了。然后就生孩子。然后就喂了一年奶。然后就没有牙医保险。在新牙医保险生效的第一天，我去洗了牙，拿到referral form看口腔外科专科医生，在这个医生available的第一时间拔掉了它们。
手术前，我问医生，可不可以把这两颗牙留着作纪念，医生说，绝对不行，我门管他叫infectious waste，需要专门处理的。
某人是小脸, 拔完就跟老太太一样没腮帮子了. 我的大方脸型是改善了, 有发小儿的惊奇为证, 你要他的电话么? 主要是我的智慧出来得早, 十几岁就全出来了, 方脸已经方了许多年, 突然少了效果显著. 还有这个空牙床的退化有个一两年的过程, 小白再等等看. 整牙也绝对能改善脸型.
我的医生也坚持全麻,我临阵脱逃过一次, 就是怕全麻的危险.不过说是自主呼吸. 先上笑气才下的针, 半小时后就醒了, 牙都没了. 用冰敷了二十四小时, 没肿也不用止痛药. 回想起来用得着那么大阵仗么, 据说中国人用止痛药少, 用一点就特别灵.

我的意思是如果不觉得太痛, 麻醉程度可以减少. 有的人用止痛药代替麻醉.I have a morbid fear about pulling wisdom teeth because of some horror stories I have heard before -- Someone underwent a very extensive surgery to get the deeply buried wisdom tooth out and ended up with damage to her facial nerves. So she could not feel half of her face, permanently! 
General anesthesia just knocks you totally unconscious. Some people require a smaller dose than others, but it doesn't have anything to do with physical tolerance upon repeated use (ie, frequent use of anethesia... Wait, nobody undergoes anesthesia "frequently"
), but has more to do with individual physiology.
Pain killers are a separate thing. You may or may not need a pain killer to go with the general anesthesia. I am no expert so I can't say for sure.
Local anesthesia, like lidocaine that dentists often use to numb a small area in your mouth, blocks all sensation of pain, but you still have the command of your jaw and tongue because the effects are local. This is not the same thing as ordinary 止痛药. Ordinary oral 止痛药, including Tylenol, ibuprofen, morphin, opium, codeine, is always "general", which means that any pain signal from any part of your body will be blocked in the brain. Usually it's not necessary or efficient to use 止痛药 during the procedure if it's short and local, but after you go home, you can't keep injecting the gum with lidocaine yourself, so you can take 止痛药 for the prolonged pain and discomfort.
Whether the effective dose of anesthesia is in anyway associated with the tolerance of pain and pain killers -- I don't know. Possibly but I don't know. Physiologically they are two separate systems, somewhat.
Also, how quickly lidocaine wears off is definitely determined by genetics. It has to do with the amount of a kind of enzyme you have, which "digests" lidocaine or other types of anesthetic agents.
OK, enough of the pharmacology crap.
A funny factoid about pain tolerance is that women are more sensitive to pain during the menstral period. I don't know why, but that's what the data says. Women in general have a lower threshold for pain.
A person's pain threshold is probably also genetic. So the logic goes this way: You have a high threshold for pain, so you use less pain killer in general and require less pain killer in surgery as well.
When people say to patients with chronic, undiagnosed pain, "It's all in your head," they are not wrong. All pain is in one's head.

就不继续胡说八道了.
此后我就有了心理阴影，一躺上牙医凳，甭管干吗，都做握拳呲牙，视死如归状，给我的牙医也造成了极大的心理阴影。嘿，都是twin。凭什么我的大方脸拔了智齿之后还是大方脸！
美国有专门拔智齿的专科医生。挺贵的。我们原来的牙医已经不错了，但是他让某人拔4颗智齿的时候是让专科医生来做的。要求家属陪同，因为做完了不能开车。并且有特定的一张单子写明之前之后的注意事项。我就去了。我一进去就被专科医生打发去药店买药，等我在一个街区以外买完药，牙已经都拔了，装在小玻璃盒里问我要不要。被我惊恐地拒绝了。我把某人接出来，他精神很是兴奋，坐在车上喋喋不休。第一，他认为他还没拔牙呢。他认为他一直在清醒状态，女护士在跟他讲话。但是他没有任何关于拔牙的记忆。他只记得他们让他张嘴看了一眼，然后我就回来了，他就出来了。我肯定地告诉他，牙已经拔完了。然后恳求他不要再讲话了，满嘴是血太恐怖了。他拉下副驾驶的镜子看了一眼，嘣一下精神就没了，靠在椅子背上不动不吱声，从此声称什么都没力气干了。
