          I have seen it with my eyes. I was homeless and travelling in canada and needed an emergency extraction and heard that there is a dentist volunteering to do extractions for free. I went there, and they had 4 chairs being prepped by volunteer nurses, as the dentist went from one chair to another in a circle doing a quick extraction as each chair was replaced with a new patient. They may have even been going faster than 5 per hour.

            Dang thats insane. I imagine pulling homeless teeth 5 per hr, 10 hrs a day for 10 years would lead to some extreme burnout.
