    I suppose you can’t blame your earlier dentists, though. How were they supposed to know? And if they automatically treated redheads differently, would that be racism?

      You ask, because certain physical characteristics are known to be linked more often with certain things than others

      It’s not racist to treat patients differently when you’re talking about how likely they are to react to drugs. Children/teens tend to become bewildered and/or violent when waking up from anesthesia. It’s not ageist to prepare for a worse case scenario by calling all hands on deck to hold them down to prevent injury.

        It is how ever a dick when dad grounds you because you did that in a haze of post anesthesia that you can’t remember at all and had no control over

        Young men come up fighting as well. My ex-wife worked in surgery and got punched a few times. Don’t know what I’d be like now, but as a young men, back the hell up from the bed.

    • Isn’t a racism judging someone’s character based on ethnic heritage or physical expression rather than, you know, their character?

      Medical predisposition, nah that’s racist!
