and buy your own. it is easy to find here but be very careful because the stuff from Colombia is spiked with Acid
I'm sure there were witnesses.But really,who was going to step up and help when the thieves were armed?
go ask ANY DENTIST
I would feel a bit stupid asking such a ridiculous question. Why don't you pop in and see one, and maybe make an appointment to catchup with your doctor while you're at it. Things are going a little LSD Annie, catch it before it goes further.
you do have a great point there. however, Dominicans are not reputed for their willingness to come to the rescue of foreigners who find themselves in dire circumstances. i posted before that when i am in the USA, and i go stepping, i feel safe with a Puerto Rican. i know that if another boricua tries to break off something, the one i am with will have my back, even against a fellow PR. a Dominican will side with his fellow Dominican, always. that is why i never go anywhere with them, at any time, neither here, nor in the States. i got attacked by a crazed guy with a machete one night, and all the Dominicans who call themselves 'my freng", just stood with folded arms, watching this guy try to make me into rotti con hueso. not one lifted a straw. i guess they thought it would have been a betrayal of the national flag if they had sided with me instead of their fellow Dominican. that is why a chica will watch a Dominican rip off the gringo who tries to be generous to her. it is some national thing. i see it, every day.
I see your point.
Canine tooth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia but you can still read, right?
This robbery is what we call in The DR " Ubicao". Basically an inside job...some "friends" of the gringos are taking them around while texting their friends that these Dr's are loaded and have I-Pads, expensive cameras, watches, etc with them and being Mormon Dr's they will be easy pickings....which they were.
Don't let MA read this, she claims this was a mob hit from Sociedad Odontologia.
The robbery occurred in front of The Mormon Church, you are you assuming they are Mormon's?

They were specifically visiting the Mormon temple, according to the Listin Diario article. Not sure that makes them Mormons but it's a good possibility.
It is also an embarrasment for DR. That said, it wasn't a big deal. I don't even know how this makes news at all. A bunch of gringos walking on a pretty deserted street at 9pm, holding cameras and about US$3,000 in cash. They got robbed. Oh god. If they weren't gringos we wouldn't even know about it...
List?n Diario said:?Uno de ellos me puso la pistola en mi cabeza y me dijo que te mato si no me das los relojes, los ipad, las tarjetas, dinero, anillos y yo le dije que no, que de nosotros no tendr? nada, pero hab?a otro muchacho que no vimos atr?s del grupo y comenz? a quitar las mochilas y rob? una c?mara de tres mil d?lares y los otros objetos?, narr? Ken Dibble, uno de los afectados.
US doctors robbed in Santo Domingo
Twenty visiting doctors on a medical mission from the US were robbed by two men on motorbikes at the corner of Maximo Gomez and Bolivar avenues in Santo Domingo yesterday, Tuesday 22 January, as reported in Listin Diario.
The doctors, who are in the country to provide dental work for poor patients, via the office of the National District Senator, Reinaldo Pared Perez, had left their hotel for a stroll at around 9pm. When the first group was walking near the corner with Maximo Gomez avenue, one of the assailants got off his bike, pistol in hand and told them to hand over all they had.
One of the doctors in the first group, Ken Dibble from the University of Utah G3 Medical Foundation, said that they put a gun to his head and told him to hand over his watch, iPad, credit cards, money and rings and that he said he had none of those, but another member of the group had to hand over a US$3,000 camera and his backpack.
He said that one member of his group screamed and a security officer appeared, and the men fled, but then they saw the other group and robbed them too.
Dibble said that they had reported the incident to the National Police, but pointed out that they were sticking to the rules in that they were not out alone, they were in a group, and it wasn't very late, only 9pm. He regretted the incident as they had been coming to the country for ten years and nothing like that had ever happened before. They were just here to give humanitarian aid. He finished by saying events like this happened everywhere, including in New York.
throw in the fact they come for Utah...but hey, who knows?
