So, my #dentist is #catholic like most people in #mexico . Yes, she understands its a #religion brought to her ancestors by the point of a sword, but that doesn't seem to phase her faith in the slightest. Even more #hardcore, she goes to a specific church every so often to pray or give #patronage [or whatever chatolics do] to #Apollonia, the #patron #saint of dentists and toothaches. Why is she the patron saint of dentists and toothaches you ask? Because she had her teeth ripped out and / or shattered at the hands of an Alexandrian mob, that's why.
I find this both endearing and disturbing at the same time, and I can think of little else as she rakes metal instruments across my teeth.
