Wayman has been troubled for some time with mouth infections, and Sunday evening it culminated in an extremely painful toothache.
We rang the dental surgery where he has been treated previously, and a young dentist who has never met us, opened the surgery to consult with us at 9.30pm. He was on holidays, but his mobile number was the one on the practice answering service. He worked to give Wayman some immediate relief, and sent us home with antibotics and an assurance that he would contact an oral surgeon the next day as the tooth needed to be removed.
The following morning he rang, again, it was his day off, with the news that he had an associate who would see us, and the surgery gave us help organising for x-rays to be taken. On Tuesday the surgeon managed to slot us into his busy consulting session, and booked Wayman into hospital as the first case on his list early Wednesday morning. By lunch time we were home, humbled by these amazing professionals who made a choice to go beyond what we often see today.
