it upsets me endless that most of patients have so less faith in doctors....when they come to me...most of the time they dont complain as i have this problem or that toothache..but they say i had got this done from some doc n the tooth is paining...or the tooth u worked on last time is worse now...n when i check its always some other problem n not anything wrong done by me or any other doc.....i have to keep my temper in check then....n inform the pt wat the prob is.....arre u dont take care of ur body ur health ur teeth n when something goes wrong they blame the last doc who had treated them...arre then treat urself na if u so good at that...here v spend 5 or more yrs studing working hard earning a degree not to be doubted by the fools who r much less intelligent than us n think too gr8 of themselves.....u come to us mostly when the disease has progressed so much that v can hardly do anything....n then u doubt our treatment.....funnier still is u try n tell us the treatment.....cant this be done or that...arre if cud be done wudnt v have suggested it to u...even funnier still is her dad thinks it shd be done like this...well i tell those pts let her dad only treat her.....of course i cant say that on face so i end up saying what i heard my senior say once....i dont do treatment acc to her dads wishes not even acc to my wishes but i do it acc to what our books say.......so people next time u visit a doc pl dont question him/her...if u dont have faith in that person go to another doc..or if u have more money ask a second opinion from another doc...n then decide what u wanna do...but dont give suggestions....v r here to help u out of ur misery....not cause it...there was a pt once who asked me if the procedure i was doing wud harm him....i said of course not...n as a after thought added wud i be doing it if it wud harm u...n he coolly told me "U JUS BOTHERED ABT TEETH....TOMO U WILL TELL ME I JUS RESTORE TEETH SO Y SHD I CARE ABT REST OF UR BODY"..needless to say it infuriated the hell out of me.....i told him that even though v r dentists v do learn abt all body systems r v r very much concerned with entire well being of a person n not jus with teeth...i told him v had a course spanning 5 yrs n v learn a lot more besides 32 teeth....he was surprised to have this bit of information...this i m telling u all as i want u people also to know abt it n not question the intentions of ur dentist.....guess its a long lecture...but it was within me since quite some time....n if this kindles faith even in a few of u abt ur doctors or dentist m glad i wrote this.....
