The Dentist

Just came back from a visit to the dentist. It's been a decade since my last visit and it was quite nerving to once again be subject to probing, drilling and whatnots. Nothing much in particular worthy of mention here except for a few things...

One, the nurse, a nice Malay lady with headscarf. She is no graduate from any nursing school, she graduated from an agama (religion) school in Kajang. But she performed really well in assisting the lady dentist. Who needs a cert anyway if one can do just as well without?

Second, both that dentist and the nurse. As i was in for some root canal treatment, it was quite a long session. At one point of time, the dentist looked up at the ceiling at the point where i've been staring at all along. Obvious as it is, there is nothing of interest up there. She then looked back at the nurse across that 'drilling chair' (where i lay helplessly gaping open) and from behind her surgical mask exchanged rather cute gentle giggles of amusement.

Curious as my nature, i inquired if she usually have patients closing eyes as she conduct her duties in their mouth. Well, apparently some do, and some others just stare blankly at a point or object in the room. And... er... what was their little amusement about then? Was it my zip?? x_X

Anyway, there goes RM600++ in less than 2 hours...
