Invisible aifen

There is a chinese verse saying "if the needle doesn't prick into your skin, you won't feel the pain". Yes, my patient had 10 carpules of local anaesthetic solution this morning for her full lower teeth clearance. This poor lady can't even swallow and spit water, not to mention about speaking. And, she can't write. This is the time when eye contact and non-verbal communication play their role, i can tell that she feel awful. Yet, i did my best to help her out of her condition, sincerely hope that she can cope with the rest of her life smoothly. There are always things that you can do nothing to help, she just has to live with that.

And then, we were in this super busy out patient clinic that two consultants failed to attend. The only oral surgeon had to see all the patients. Guess what, i just discover my new side kick power, i can make myself invisible. HAHA.. Well, he is too busy to even acknowledge my attendance, may be i should say existence. Oh dear....

There were time that i thought my intelligence level was quite good, but today i hang my washing out at night and let them get wetter with the heavy rain. Yes, i guess i am "smart".

like mum, like daughter

Eventually, i understand the verse

"like mum, like daughter"

This is the real inheritance, probably not so much genetic, more to life style and thinking. Do you believe that?

Hesitation

Hesitation, stubborn and Procrastination lead to a complicated problem with poor prognosis.

Eventhough professionalism is just about inequality in quantity of information, if you do not wish to spend the time that professional has to spend, deal with them, accept their suggestion.
