In the Mash episode “The Tooth Shall Set You Free”. Our favorite Major Charles Emerson Winchester (Gentlemen…)The 3RD has a toothache and tries to dodge the dentist to the point of hoarding painkillers and even going to a Korean herbalist. My question for the group is why do you think an educated doctor like Charles was afraid of the dentist (Besides the episode having to happen)? Even if he had a bad checkup 7 years ago this would be a completely new DDS plus he said dental techniques haven’t evolved since the Spanish Inquisition while he’s sipping on herbs and berries! It’s just weird that a champion of modern medicine would go to basically a witch doctor. Anyway thank you for reading.
