Healthcare, early 21st century style

A waiting room will indeed frazzle your carefully constructed chill. 

There's the news story about a guy with a machete being killed by police. "That's the news in America," a mother tells her two children approvingly. They are an immigrant family of African ancestry with the mom and perhaps 7 yo daughter talking about how glad they'll be when Trump comes back and calling him "Grandpa," and the perhaps 10 yo son asking "But what about Obama?" and the 7 yo girl saying, "No, I don't like Obama, I love Grandpa!"

The women who are the insurance specialists behind the counter then turn off the news and put on a movie. The little girl gets into doing yoga (the "downward dog" pose) with the animated characters (maybe they were dogs).

The doctor can see you now.

My dental exam went better than I expected so perhaps my sporadic supplement regimen and 3 different toothpastes and occasional oil-pulling sessions are not hurting.
