“I was shocked in the morning. Crowded everywhere, cars, crowded streets. At the dentist, people in line were waiting for mandarins, bananas or oranges during the totality in line. It was a mess. At half past six I was called by a neighbor and then by the deputy mayor. It is said that people have been standing here since three o’clock in the morning and have already arrived and slept in cars in the evening, “Josef Šrámek (ODS), the mayor of Lhotka, described the situation to Práva. “Such a gathering in the village square has not been long. Due to the epidemic, we canceled our big Chasing the King event this year and today this, “the mayor laughed.

The local people did not stand in the queue, according to information from Práva, 90 percent of them are already registered with a new dentist. He opened his surgery in June this year. On Monday, September 14, he launched the second round. Unlike the first one, when people reported to him by phone, he wanted them to arrive in person. The telephone report did not work for them very well. So people went to register in person.

“They came from Jesenice and Bruntál, and people from Hlučín, Hati and Mariánské Hory also arrived,” the mayor pointed out, noting that the whole village welcomes the fact that they have dentists. “It is improving the quality of life in our country. Around 1,400 people live in Lhotka, “the mayor said.

The new dentist turned to the town hall, saying that he liked it here and would like to build a house here. “He lives in Ostrava so far, but he has already bought the plot from us. He went to Brno to work. He asked us if there would be an empty building or room in the dental office. We had a vacant house after the city police, no one reported it, so we agreed with the city and sold it to him. He renovated it and opened the surgery in June, “the mayor explained.

He added that he is shocked at how many people in the region lack a dentist. “We talked about the fact that 60 dentists ended up in the Moravian-Silesian Region and only six of them arrived instead,” Šrámek summed up.
