You can't beat a Scott

email from JKS Weerasekera

Paddy went to a dentist for tooth extraction and  first inquired about cost.  Dentist said 12000 , the Scott thought it as too much.

After some thought, he asked about cheaper methods.

The dentist said Yes, it can be done without anesthesia and will cost only Rs.3000, but it would be very very painful.

Paddy said ‘ok Dr, do it without anesthesia.’ 

The dentist removed the tooth without anesthesia and during the entire procedure thePaddy sat  quietly, even smiling a little.

The dentist was not only surprised but was quite impressed

     and said “I have never seen such a brave patient like you. I don't even want my fees, here, instead take this Rs.5000 as a reward, you've taught me such a powerful lesson today about mastering one's pain and feelings!!” 

In the evening the doctor met his fellow dentists. Related to everyone about Paddy and the tooth extraction.

 One doctor jumped up and shouted ‘That bloody Scott first came to me, I gave him local anesthesia injection  and asked him to wait outside for half an hour ! After half an hour when I called him he had left!!!!’
