A nervous patient refuses every option for pain relief.
“No way! No needles — I can’t stand them!” he insists.
The dentist suggests gas instead, but the man shakes his head.
“No chance! Just the thought of that mask makes me feel like I’m suffocating!”
After a pause, the dentist offers, “Alright, how about taking a pill?”
“Pills are fine,” the man agrees, relieved.
