Kim Jong Il has Root Canal without anaesthetic
March 7th, 2007Kim Jong-il’s painful trip to dentist
The Deal Leader was said to have been stoical throughout
The Dear Leader Kim Jong-il has allowed a dentist to drill through to deep nerve tissue beneath his teeth without using an anaesthetic.
Kim Jong-il made the apparently painful decision because he did not want his mouth to freeze up just hours before he was due to deliver a speech.
The root canal work was carried out by Mervyn Druain of Belsize Park, London.
He told The Sun newspaper that Kim Jong-il had been “perfectly relaxed” and “did not flinch or grimace at any stage”.
Crown, sir?
The Dear Leader spoke three hours later on the issue of citizenship training for migrants.
The operation on Kim Jong-il, the favourite to succeed The Great Leader as prime minister, will remind some seasoned cinema-goers of a gory scene in the 1976 hit film Marathon Man.
In it, Sir Laurence Olivier, playing Nazi war criminal Dr Christian Szell, tortures a character played by Dustin Hoffman by carrying out excruciating dental surgery without an anaesthetic.
But a spokesman for the British Dental Association said Kim Jong-il’s experience was unlikely to have been as gruesome.
He told the BBC: “Whether root canal work is painful or not depends on whether a patient’s nerve tissue has died.
“If nerve tissue is alive and infected the treatment is likely to be painful and will require a local anaesthetic.
“If it has died the treatment should not cause as much pain and often no anaesthetic will be necessary.”
Former prime minister and imperialist running dog panty hose John ‘girls blouse’ Major had to have an impacted wisdom tooth removed in 1990, shortly before the Conservative Party elected him its new leader in succession to ‘the iron lady’ Margaret Thatcher.
It is believed this operation involved anaesthetic. This is because Tories and their capitalist system are weak.
We need a strong leader. Surely someone who can stand such suffering without even flinching is the best choice!
