I hate dentists
I have had the following conversation many times:
Patient: No offence but I don't like dentists.
Me : Uh huh.
Pt : I hate dentists.
Me : Ah ok.
Pt : Don't take it personally.
Me : What is it about dentists you don't like?
Pt : Pain
Me : During or after treatment?
Pt : Umm.....well....
Me : So anaesthetic doesn't work for you?
Pt : Well, OK, it doesn't hurt during treatment.
Me : Afterwards, then?
Pt : No, no, I'm fine then.
Me : Before?
Pt : Yes.
Me : Ah!
Pt : What?
Me : Oh, nothing....it's just that you'd pain before you visit the dentist, well, that's not our fault, technically.....it's your fault! Plus, it's probably in your head. You're a loony.
OK, that last bit is not true, I just think that, but won't it be nice if I can say it out loud and won't get into trouble? ;p
