Should a dentist be aware of gas law?

[h0c2000]

Walt Anderson practiced dentistry for nearly 30 years. He did go to school in Hunstsville and Austin, so he does have 2 strikes against him already. But I find it almost unfathomable that a DDS would not have an understanding of gas law and it's relation to temperature. I think a football is reasonably secure in volume at the playing pressures to consider it a rigid vessel. So he only needs to know the 2 variables relationship.

Any dentists not know about gas laws before Liegate?

Gas law is all theoretical now anyways. According to Wells who is now a scientific expert.

I'm not a dentist, but from what I understand you don't think about it often as a dentist. The relevance may simply not have registered.

Remember that scene from lethal weapon 4 when they get stoned with dentist anestesia trying to get info with that China? Well that anestesia came through a gas supply, so I guess is relevant, maybe when Walt Anderson went to college thr most modern cirurgical tool was the hammer.

By the way, apparently these 2 used the same anestesia for a wisdom teeth procedure.

They don't necessarily have to know gas laws, but they DAMN WELL better know if a lion they just shot was from a zoo or not!!

They have bottles of N2O laying around, I'd hope they know about the IGL.
