Everyone Hates The Dentist. But How This Boy Escaped It Is Totally Genius… And Hilarious.

Hating the dentist is fairly common; the official term for the fear is odontophobia. For children and adults alike, the fear often stems from the anticipation of pain, needles, procedures and the unknown. You might not look twice if someone claimed to be afraid of going to the dentist. A little boy in France, however, took that fear to an entirely new level. The 12 year-old hated going so much, he though of an elaborate excuse to avoid an appointment: he faked his own kidnapping.

His dramatic story began in May after he was found by the police. The boy was hiding in Alpine village of St. Gervais on May 21. When he was questioned by police officers, he claimed that he just escaped his kidnappers in the nearby town of Bagnols. He described his kidnapper as a scar-faced villain who lured him to his car for directions … when he was on his way to a dentist appointment. He said the man pulled him into his car and took off. It was just by sheer luck, according to the boy, that he got away. The boy even described the car and what the perpetrator was wearing with great detail. This went on for an entire month, until the police had the boy come back in for more questioning after they reviewed security footage and couldn’t find the kidnapper. Then, the boy confessed to making the entire story up, just so he didn’t have to go to the dentist. (H/T NY Daily News) Kidnapping is a very serious crime and shouldn’t be joked about, but it’s hard not to be impressed by the young boy’s creativity and determination to not go to the dentist. Little boys: 1, Dentists: 0

Mad in America

Schizophrenics in the United States currently fare worse than patients in the world’s poorest countries. In Mad in America, medical journalist Robert Whitaker argues that modern treatments for the severely mentally ill are just old medicine in new bottles, and that we as a society are deeply deluded about their efficacy. The widespread use of lobotomies in the 1920s and 1930s gave way in the 1950s to electroshock and a wave of new drugs. In what is perhaps Whitaker’s most damning revelation, Mad in America examines how drug companies in the 1980s and 1990s skewed their studies to prove that new antipsychotic drugs were more effective than the old, while keeping patients in the dark about dangerous side effects. A haunting, deeply compassionate book—now revised with a new introduction—Mad in America raises important questions about our obligations to the mad, the meaning of “insanity,” and what we value most about the human mind.
