When the dentist started heating an instrument with a bic lighter I knew it was time to get a second opinion, preferably in another country. So I´m on my way to Buenos Aires and then home. Four rounds of antibiotics and lots of time in the dentist chair and pain later, and I´m on my way home. But first I have to find another dentist and get this root canal filled in. I have had a lot of fun in Uruguay, the people are wonderful and the pace is slow, and it really was a nice way to end this trip and make the last few dollars last.
One of the disadvantages I found to their managed healthcare is that you have to go the the pharmacist for everything, and while drugs tha tare very costly in the US are much cheaper here, things like 12 sudafed or 4 ounces of metamucil cost $8. Come to think about it, everything costs about $8 in the pharmacies in Uruguay.
