...but true. Last Monday, 12/9, my best friend was eating something when he felt a weird feeling in a lower rear tooth. Few days go by and things are going quickly south for him. Saturday he was admitted to the hospital and is in ICU now. Started out being intubated for 3 days, but today they did a tracheostomy. He's in an induced coma with IV antibiotics and pain meds fighting an infection all because of a bad tooth. I've known him all my life and he and his family are part of our zoo. Never ever known him to be sick with anything other than a cold.
