Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaccckkk !

I returned to Dr. Okon's office after a two week break and nothing had changed much. The only difference was a new employee whose name I haven't yet acquired. Anyway, on Monday I went straight to the back of the office and watched Dr. Okon and Barbie, his dental assistant, perform laminate "surgery". There are not enough horrible words in the world to describe how disgustingly horrible this womans' teeth looked. To begin with, laminates were only done on the top row of her mouth and those teeth looked like they were rotting at the root. One particular tooth was broken so Dr. Okon rounded it and capped it. The bottom row of teeth was crooked and overlapped and, to my great surprise, was completely ignored by Dr. Okon. Perhaps she didn't have enough money to fix the bottom, but it was a mess.

This could very well be the case that the woman didn't have enough money for the whole procedure. How old was she? Did you ask Dr. Okon later why he left the bottom teeth alone?
