In reply to Simon.

You would think so! You bring up a really great point that I hadn’t even thought about when writing this post. Thinking about those conflicts that arose with patients, and it was always so hard to try to move on without dwelling, or trying to figure it out. Just like we didn’t know why Lady was acting so strange, we never know why patients act with aggression– what’s behind it? I think a lot of us hold on to that, make it about us, and suffer for it.

About the website… have you thought about creating a free wordpress website? It’s pretty easy to do. Or are you looking for an e-commerce type of site?

If dentistry taught us something, its being able to move on after that last excruciating conversation with someone who’s attitude you did not actually like.
You’d think so wouldn’t you?
Not me. I used to dwell on it. Quietly.
Cue my amazing underpaid nurses to lift my spirits.
But then, as someone in here posted, if we set ourselves up as falsely kind corporate apeing professionals we’re bound to get sone anxt in return!
I found it hard to be the obsequious dentist my practice manager – the boss’s wife- wanted me to be. And I certainly didn’t have many enemies amongst my patients. Apart from a muslim guy who made me nervous when he came in with a heavy rucksack!
Joking aside, its a funny old game, this third oldest profession!
It can drive you hslf insane. Or to drink. Been there, done that: so I stopped.
But the banter, well, I miss that……..(thinks…)

…Maybe a change of location and the Dental Sirens roped to the mast would get my high speed whirling again………
(Where’s the feared up eyes to God emoticon when you need it!)

Who knows how long this sabbatical will last?Answer: Until the money runs out!

Stone carving:
Lola, I need somewhere to share my Gargoyle gob stonecarving. I do not have a website. Yet. Can you suggest a site or location where I could post photographs for people here?
All the best gob menders! Chins up. Yours’ not their’s!
