Nuwakot camp: Dental room

I did not spend too much time in the dental room this camp. They extracted around 30 teeth with anesthetic. Extraction is essentially what Yam and Karuna can do during these camps – and it is amazing to see some people so happy to have a troublesome tooth removed. Honestly, though, when I went in the room, Yam was removing a tooth. And the cracking sounds weren’t pleasant. The next patient looked on indecisive. The receiving lady calmly declared she felt nothing while Yam yanked, cracked and pulled. So…I did not stay in that room that long this time. J
