| Dentist |
I went to the dentist for the first time in the US last night. It was a pretty odd experience. 19 xrays (apparently that's standard here), a TV set on the wall where they showed me the tooth which needs a filling, and then showed me the filling after it was done, photos of my teeth with a digital camera so they can show me before and after in a few years. Heck, they rubbed lotion on my lips for me so that I wouldn't have to suffer at all by keeping my mouth open for more than 30 seconds.
The best bit? They came up with a written estimate before they did the filling, and made sure I was ok with the whole thing before they did any work.
I think I like the dentist here.

Dude, what dark-ages dentist were you seeing in Oz? My old Canberra dentist (Jeff McGrath, Dental Excellence) had all this stuff, could burn to CD your teeth footage if you wanted, as well as ultra light-weight sennheiser wireless headphones with you choice of music while you were there.
