Confessions Of A Hungry Dentist
Posted by Ling on December 1, 2005
Oh boy…!
Recently, I was boasting about the fact that I have never been late for work.
Today, I woke up. Looked out the window. So bright. My alarm hadn’t gone off yet. I had set it at 8.15am.
I needed the loo.
Maybe I could go pee and then crawl back into bed and lie in till my alarm goes off?
What is the time anyway?
I reach for my phone… 9.50am
WHAT? 9.50am??!!
I don’t swear but if I did, it would have been a list of expletives…
My first patient is at 9.30am!!!!! (it would have been 8.30am but she cancelled yesterday)
I called my workplace and said those 3 words that I rarely say “I slept in”
Mad dash to toilet to pee, brush teeth, wash face, get dressed…socks, I need socks…jacket, bag, phone…
Rush to the kitchen…keys….
and then…wait for it…
10am
Yes, I think I shall have some breakfast!! yes, I did!!
And I even flicked through the morning paper!!!!!
Then it was zoom, park and walk to work.
“You have 4 patients waiting…”
My nurse is panicking, going into ultra-stress mode….
Me…cool as a cucumber!!
I ran an HOUR behind schedule today!!!! *shameful*
Lots of apologies to the patients…“I’m sorry” “Oh that’s okay Dr Ling” (but I think they were secretly cursing me)
In conclusion : Breakfast is the most important meal of a dentist’s day!

Lol! Sounds so funny on blog! Hehe!
Have you seen Kung Fu Hustle? Remember the landlady who could run really fast up and down stairs? I can just imagine you doing that when you rushed around getting ready then stopped to sit down for breakfast and read paper! Lol!
Up, night out unreasonable indeed. Really dont know if i should go now. Colleagues all encouraging me to go….. quite confused now.
