How about this emergency that came in yesterday.  27 year old, very pretty young girl,
thin.  #13 had severe percussion sensitivity and had just cracked off at the gum line.
She reported 9 out of 10 pain.  She was a new patient to a good referral, who funneled
her to me without ever having seen her.   I rarely see a patient that hasn’t seen a
dentist with a referral.   This was one of those rare times. She said she just wanted
out of pain and her crown put back on.
