to the dentist

One of the leads we've been following is that Lars may have in his bloodstream a bacteria that is usually found in healthy mouths, but not in blood. When they found it in the ER last Thursday, they assumed it was a mistake, that the sample had accidentally been contaminated. However, Dr. Buff Spikey Hair came in yesterday saying he wanted to follow up because it's rare, but if it is in Lars' bloodstream then it could cause lots of GI pain. He looked in Lars' mouth--at the risk of a finger or two--and didn't see anything unusual.

Nonetheless he wanted to ask dentistry if they would look at Lars. He's headed over there to Hunnewell 3 today at 1:00.
