The Drool of Novocaine

"I have a chewing thing that my former dentist, who I've now left in the dust, caused some permanent problem," he says. "This Novocaine, usually I can kind of feel what's going on if they're doing some work in my mouth with Novocaine. This time felt absolutely nothing, which I loved initially... And then? Five hours later, I'm panicking. It does not feel my ear." He adds: "It affects all parts of your body for a while ... For a while it was terrifying".
