“The crisis in NHS dentistry is so bad that a charity set up to run clinics in poorer countries is now spending more time working in the UK.”

    You can’t even say “the UK is becoming a third-world country” because here in Brazil we have excellent dentistry, for free, in our public healthcare system. If you have the money to pay for premium service, we also have some of the best dental care in the world. Also, comparatively few of our dentists go on lion-hunting safaris in South Africa.

    It’s funny to think that back when I was a teenager my dream was to move to the UK or to the US. How times have changed. Living in the Global South sucks but it’s great, too.
