The medical system is a cesspool, and the county-run dental office in my small town isn't far behind. My private practice dentist that I saw for 15 years recently retired and now I'm stuck with the one county-run operation. They plague me about checking my blood pressure (those digital things are worthless and always read my BP way high), but don't have the records from my private-practice dentist because they threw them in the trash.
