Dwight was new to my small business, but had worked for a similar company doing the kind of work we did and he was good at it. He’d been with me about a month when he asked for an aspirin to suck on. He had a bad tooth and his dental appointment, at a public clinic for the poor and un-insured, was weeks away. Unlike many of his co-workers, Dwight’s tooth didn’t get in the way of a good day’s work.
