That reminds me of a trip I took to Romania in the early 2000’s, and I had a tooth infection. Despite the fact that the dentist practiced in the living room of a house converted to an office, used a1950’s foot pedal drill, no x-rays, and no Novocain, I could either let her do the work or risk more serious complications from the infection.
I admit I would have been more comfortable had I planned ahead and brought pain meds and my Makita, but it was unforseen and necessary.
Hm. Not my only medical emergency experience in that country. But that is another story.
