"I had my teeth cleaned today.
Normally I wouldn't report on such a mundane activity because it's boring beyond belief. Today, however, was first time getting my teeth cleaned by a new hygienist at my dentist office who, in the course of the cleaning, told me a brief, yet illustrative story about the Cuban experience.
This gentleman is an oral and maxilofacial surgeon, a medico/dental specialty that requires lots of study and lots of dedication. He had a career in this field over two years ago, practicing in a small town in Las Villas, Cuba. Two years ago, obviously deciding he had had enough and knowing full well that fidel would not let a doctor leave legally, he got on rickety boat and braved the waters of the Florida straits for five days to get to the United States. Today, he is studying for his dental boards and is prepared to do whatever to recover his career."
