Could it be that DUmmy PCIntern, the janitorial worker who dreams of a dental practice, has actually moved to Chicago and opened an office? Sounds like it:

Fake Dentist Arrested At South Side Auto Garage
Suzanne Le Mignot CHICAGO (CBS) ― Imagine going to your dentist and he whips out a something similar to a power tool to work on your teeth.
Sounds archaic doesn't it? And as CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reports, this is just the beginning of what Chicago police said they uncovered at a South Side auto garage.
Syringes, dentures, painkillers; those were just some of the things police found inside the place Francisco Rendon was using as his dental office.
snip...
Chicago police said behind a locked door at 3711 S. California Av., just steps away from a scrap metal company with a machine called a "bone crusher," Rendon was running a dental office in secret.
snip...
Police said Rendon worked on teeth, using medical tools and something similar to a power tool normally used to polish metal.
Instead of reclining in a dental chair, patients would sit in a leather one. There was no sink. Patients would spit in a garbage can.
snip...
When police responded to the tip, there were five people waiting for Rendon's services.
"We do see, particularly in an economy like this, people will go to someone they can afford for a treatment if they need it," Hofer said.

Its called the black market.
Cathy Buckle describes it from Zimbabwe. Since thats where we seem to be going.
Dear Family and Friends,
Three months before Zimbabwe's 30th anniversary of Independence I happened to get lost in the vast urban sprawl that characterises the outskirts of the capital city, Harare. A huge shanty town lay on both sides of the road and stretched as far as the eye could see. Shacks and shelters made of tin and plastic were surrounded by mounds of rotting garbage which had even been scraped into contours in an attempt to demarcate little vegetable plots. Stinking streams of sewage ran right outside people's shacks and children ran barefoot through the waste and the filth. Hand painted signs were everywhere, on pieces of battered, rusty tin and written in charcoal on strips of warped cardboard: 'Floor polish,' 'Cement,' 'Tyres,' 'Abattoir.' One sign said: 'Hot Recharge' and a line of people with cellphones in their hands stood waiting for their turn to plug onto a car battery and get a precious top up of electrical power into their telephones. A near naked man with no legs was dragging himself by his hands along the road and I looked away but his image has stayed with me. How can this be Zimbabwe 30 years after Independence, I keep asking myself.
