Today was very exciting!
My dentist told me to come in again today (and tomorrow).
A patient who required a root canal today, had a bad infection in their tooth. When the doctor drilled into the tooth and pulled out the instrument, there was pus all over it -- I don't know why but seeing this sitution today appealed to me, pus and all! I thought it was exciting atleast (I bet I sound pretty weird now).
I can't get over how amazingly considerate my dentist is with the whole shadowing process. When he's around, he makes sure I'm always watching some kind of procedure even if it's not him doing it. He answers all of my questions with complete, thorough explanations -- it's so great! I also don't feel like a "shadow", I feel so included. I swear this is the best dentist to shadow... ever.
Two of his assistants and I talked today while they were doing fillings. One is going to my university this summer. If I don't need my current bio book, I'll just give it to her if I get to know her more, that way she won't have to pay 190-something for a used bio book.
Shadowing is one of the coolest experiences ever.
