Jay went to a dentist for tooth extraction but first enquired about the cost.
Dentist said $1200, Jay thought that was too much.
After some thought, he asked about cheaper methods. The dentist said, “Yes, it can be done without anesthesia and will cost only $300, but it would be very very painful.”
Jay said, “OK Doc, let’s do it without anesthesia.”
The dentist removed the tooth without anesthesia. During the entire procedure, Jay sat quietly, even smiling a little.
The dentist was not only surprised but was quite impressed and said, “I have never seen such a brave patient. I don’t even want my fees, here take $500 as a reward instead, you’ve taught me such a powerful lesson today about mastering one’s pain!!!”
In the evening he met his fellow dentists and told everyone about this amazing Jay patient. One doctor jumped up and shouted, “That ×%#@ Jay first came to me, I gave him anesthesia and asked him to wait outside for half an hour! After half an hour when I called for him, he had left!!”
