There will be no Combat! blog today, because in approximately one hour I will undergo minor surgery wherein a very confident oral surgeon implants a titanium screw in my upper jaw, onto which my dentist will later screw a tooth. “Don’t screw a tooth!” I will say cheerfully to him. Anyway, it seems likely that the whole thing will give me a headache. It will be worth it to finally have my number-ten incisor, or at least a weird metal post sticking out of a mass of traumatized gum tissue and pulp. We’ll be back tomorrow, possibly complaining.
Good luck. Get yourself a nice grill while you’re at it.
Man, science. Getting teeth you don’t even need that people don’t even know you have.
This TED talk mentions the gradual march of Western medicine in the context of 9 million kids dying ever year of preventable causes. Female French-English accents are adorable.

I had my second implant done in January. Solidarity.
