你最害怕看哪科醫生呢？如果答案是牙科，那你絕對不孤單！本週的《英語咖啡館》Patrick 老師和 John 老師要分享一個讓人毛骨悚然的話題——「看牙醫」經驗。Patrick 老師最近剛經歷了人生第一次拔智齒，原本以為很簡單的手術，卻意外變成了一個月的煎熬！
除了分享 Patrick 的親身經歷，兩位老師還比較了台灣健保與西方醫療體系的巨大差異。我們常說在台灣看醫生有多幸福，聽完你就知道了！節目最後不免俗地帶來幾個和牙齒相關的實用英文片語，像是很有畫面的 "fight tooth and nail"，你猜得到意思嗎？
Which type of doctor do you fear seeing the most? If your answer is the dentist, you're definitely not alone! This week on English Cafe, Patrick and I share a spine-chilling topic—"dentist visit" experiences. Patrick recently went through his first wisdom tooth extraction, what he thought would be a simple procedure unexpectedly turned into a month-long ordeal!
Besides sharing Patrick's personal experience, the two teachers also compare the huge differences between Taiwan's National Health Insurance and Western healthcare systems. We often talk about how fortunate we are to see doctors in Taiwan—after listening, you'll truly understand why! The episode concludes with several practical English phrases related to teeth, like the very visual "fight tooth and nail"—can you guess what it means?
