As I Went Through a Dental Procedure

A molar tooth had got decayed,

after decades of tolerating abuse,

junk food, hot, cold, acids.

The caries was close to the nerves,

was in risk of infecting it,

the dentist decided to give a

a root canal procedure.

It was painful surgery,

even with anesthesia,

it had its agonies.

But what was more concerning

is the cost of healthcare.

Even after insurance,

it cost a huge $450!

That was just one tooth.

So many body parts,

which can fall apart.

A family with many members,

all vulnerable,

in an inflammatory era.

Once someone gets a health issue,

diagnosis, and treatment will follow,

and money will drain.

But earning ways are harsh,

it takes peace of mind,

family time, health itself,

job arena is turning dry.

It’s really sad, earning spending

not is balance, feels insecure.

After this uneasy experience,

I resolved to myself

to be even more careful,

to guard health,

to not need more interventions,

and advise you too.

Note: How is the cost of medical care in your place?
