Dentists and the number 16. Why? I'm pretty sure this one might not be just me, as this has gone on across two states now. Vicodin? 16 tablets. Pen VK? 16 tablets. Cleocin? You've guessed it. Over and over and over again, the magic number is 16, but only from the people who make their living poking around in your mouth.
My first theory is some sort of 4 day rule. Maybe it's in the Dentist's bible that most of their procedures can heal up in 4 days, but..... if that's the case, why is the Vicodin prescription written to be taken every 4 hours? And what magical property of antibiotics would make it standard procedure to use them for 4 days in dental work when the most common length for everything else is 10?
No, there must be another explanation, the number 16 is obviously the key to unlocking the secrets of an evil cult of dentists.
Think about it. There are 32 permanent teeth in humans, which is 16 x 2. Do I really need to say anything more?
Or maybe it is just me. I think that's a good ending for this series. Maybe it's just me.
