    What the hell? Only last week I received a quote to have all 4 of mine taken out (under general) and was told it would be $1400, and even then I'll get a whole whack taken off from my private health. Time to get another quote maybe or are they doing other stuff too?

    It has only been 9 days since I had my gallbladder removed via a huge 17cm cut across my stomach but I'm getting so bored! Still at least another 2 or 3 weeks before I can work. I'm broke and bored and I hate it. It's driving me crazy!!

    Oh, these cars weren't all right next to each other.

    After asking around the average price for getting the 4 teeth removed (from the same surgery!) is about 2k. Something dodge there, I'll be inquiring about this.

    Teeth are an expensive business. I have had 3 removed (2 wisdom) and it came to around $1300.

    If you dont have any injection to numb you up it will be cheaper.

    One thing I've learned from my time participating in Medieval/Renaissance re-enactments... medieval/renaisscance life SUCKED! Try going a few days/weeks without modcons... you'll be begging for a comfy bed, shower, pizza and a Coke real soon! (thankfully we were allowed to use modern toilets (and girls were allowed to use modern feminine hygiene products)). Makes you appreciate simple things like electric lights. Man... fire (incl. candles, lamps etc) really suck as sources of light compared to even the most basic electric torch!

    It's possible that this is what Dentists charge in Sydney - Sydney is rip off city.

    Certainly sounds like it, I'd be shopping around all the same!
