“… illegal dental operation out of Milford convenience store”
“an illegal dentist office operating out of the back of a local convenience store”
“One man, Juan Hermida Munoz, allegedly operated the dentist office within the store without a license, providing services including …”
“Munoz was subsequently summonsed to court charges including unauthorized practice of medicine and unauthorized practice of dentistry.”
上頭網址裡頭的影片裡頭還有：
“... a pretend dental practice ... a secret dental practice ... A secret dentist operation... Juan ... is the secret dentist...”
上世紀末我還在臺灣時新聞媒體三不五時會有「密醫」的報導，這其中似乎牙醫佔了多數。我年紀還小的時候每次聽到或是讀到「密醫」我都會聯想到我祖母常去的附近一家牙醫。倒不是他們沒有執照、違法經營或是「假冒牙醫」，而是「密醫」這兩個中文字……，什麼是「密」?感覺起來就好像是很祕密、隱密、躲躲藏藏的樣子，而我陪祖母去的這家牙醫印象裡頭外頭好像沒有招牌，然後他們的「門面」和我家一樣。有看過電影海角七號的話，基本上就是「阿嘉的家」那樣，是一整排的木板門塊拼湊而成，上下有軌道，要進出的話把一個木板門塊橫向拉推。診所裡頭也和我家一樣，就是一般住家的樣子，印象裏沒什麼特別的擺設或是裝潢，差別就只是客廳中間擺設的兩三張牙醫看診用的治療椅。
這次在電視新聞上看到這報導，忽然想起這件往事。
