Gloves are my most favorite thing to get from the doctor's office.

Some of the ideas are okay, some of them are just insane.

All right, Karen.
36
Well, you definitely have an abscess on that tooth, okay?
37
All right.
38
You've got to do something or it's going to keep bothering you.
39
What I recommend you do is do a root canal on this tooth and then put a crown on it.
40
That way the tooth won't hurt you anymore and you can still keep it and function on it.
41
But what's it going to cost?
42
Well, you're looking at about $1,800.
43
$100.

and it actually pushes the tooth out of the socket until I can grab it with this forceps
57
that actually wiggles the tooth out until it gets loose and then we pull it out.
58
Well, that just looks like a pair of pliers.
59
Well, I promise you this is a precision extraction instrument.
60
If you use a pair of pliers, it's just going to break the tooth off.
61
Well, can I take the tools home with me after I'm done?
62
No, they're my instruments.
63
That's what I use on everybody.
64
We have to sterilize them each time.
65
Can I think on it?

80

I'm building a vacuum for her mouth.
82
I'm using a regular vacuum cleaner.
83
I'm going to stick out and part her mouth, and we can suck out the blood and whatever, and a straw with duct tape, which makes a good seal.

88

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
