This poor man had at least 4 teeth pulled. That was a common thing here in the dental section. This man had a particularly hard time. His last tooth was fused to the bone and they could not get it out! After at least 2 hours of struggling, the Dominican dentist pulled out a hammer and chisel. The tooth came out.

Back at the MGM compound, kids eagerly awaited us. They wanted to clean our shoes for $1! We were all muddy that day, so I actually decided to do it. These are the little guys that cleaned mine. They did a good job!
