DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

Vietnamese DentistsBy this I mean the ones in Vietnam itself. I was in Hanoi a couple of months ago and got "lost" wandering around the Old Quarter. Hanoi, historically, has streets filled with traders of the same type and the streets are named similarly.
For instance there's Lantern Street, Mechanic Street, Kitchenware Street, Conical Hat Street and so on (in Vietnamese, obviously).
There is also - I found - Dentist Street. Every building for about 200 yards was either a dentist or a pharmacy. But this isn't the best bit. Each surgery had a nice plate glass window at the front, letting the light in. Not into the waiting room. Into the surgery.
As you walk up the street you see people having dental treatment done. Everything from checkups to polishing to extractions.
Try as I might, I couldn't find Gynacologist Street. Dammit.
