"It seems to be bleeding right there."

I had a dental appointment earlier today. I mentioned that I have a "sensitive" tooth, so the hygienist proceeded to jab my tooth and gums around that area with a sharp steel tool... repeatedly jabbing and poking...

"There is some inflammation," she said several painful minutes later. "It seems to be bleeding right there."

(I couldn't talk because someone was in my mouth with an instrument of torture, but I'm thinking...)

Well yeah!!!

Do you mean to tell me that jabbing a sharp, metal object into that area repeatedly would cause inflammation and bleeding??? I'm pretty sure it only just started bleeding now...

Huh... must be why it hurt so damn bad when you were doing it...
