A felicidade, sensação tão volátil, instável, irredutível de homem a homem é cousa diferente, e não consente média a abranger centenas, milhares e milhões de seres humanos. Imaginas tu que Madame Belasman, de Petrópolis, tem um grande joanete, um defeito hediondo, com o qual sobremaneira sofre; e o operário Felismino, da mortona, orgulha-se em possuir um filho com talento. Madame Belasman vive acabrunhada com a exuberância de seu joanete. [...] entretanto, Felismino, quando bate rebites, sorri e antegoza o estrondo que uma parcela do seu sangue vai causar na sociedade. [...] Quem é mais feliz – pergunto – madame Belasman ou o senhor Felismino? E, à vista disso, poderás dizer que todas as damas de Petrópolis são felizes e os operários de fundição são desgraçados? Há média possível para a felicidade das classes? Nós, os modernos, nos vamos esquecendo que essas histórias de classe, de povos, de raças, são tipos de gabinetes, fabricados para as necessidades de certos edifícios lógicos, mas que fora deles desaparecem completamente: – Não são? Não existem.

       Here’s why it’s best to remove false teeth before surgery: You just might swallow them.

    A medical journal is reporting the case of a 72- year-old British man whose partial dentures apparently got stuck in his throat during surgery and weren’t discovered for eight days.

    The man went to the emergency room because he was having a hard time swallowing and was coughing up blood. Doctors ordered a chest X-ray, diagnosed him with what they wrongly thought was pneumonia and sent him home with antibiotics and steroids. It took another hospital visit before another X-ray revealed the problem: His dentures — a metal roof plate and three false teeth — lodged at the top of his throat.

    The man thought his dentures were lost while he was in the hospital for minor surgery. How it happened isn’t exactly clear, but a halfdozen previous cases have been documented of dentures going astray as surgical patients were put to sleep.

     Placing a tube in a patient’s airway can push things where they don’t belong, said Dr. Mary Dale Peterson, an anesthesiologist at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas.

     Besides dentures, retainers, loose teeth and tongue piercings can cause problems, said Peterson, who is president-elect of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Before a child’s surgery, she’ll pull a very loose tooth and tell the patient to expect a visit from the tooth fairy. "We can make a nice game of it."

     In the British case, after the dentures were removed, the man had several bouts of bleeding that required more surgery before he recovered. The journal article didn’t identify the man or the hospital involved. […]
