Its a streaky thread there Mrs G! It will sit idle for a week or 2, and then all of the sudden rack up about 100 posts in a day.

Gee Doc, don't you have some patients to attend to? You seem to be spending a lot of time here today
Or do you have your assistants doing extractions now? :blink:

That's the joy of my job some days. Get someone numb, wait about 5 minutes for the juice to work, and if I don't have a hygienist to check, I've got 5 minutes fo surf time
Today the schedule happens to be filled with ALOT of shortish appointments, so the number of 5 minute surf times I have today is a decent amount Plus, currently, its only in Alaska and soon to be Minnesota that "assistants" can do extractions now(they have to go through a bit more training though before they can do that
)

My old dentist is a rabid skier. He actually looked forward to my visit. We could ramble on for a half hour about skiing, making his whole schedule backup; that's why I always take the first appt. Anyways, he would come into the room, I'd ask him this or that about skiing and he would go into a trance. He'd walk to the window and stare out it for what seemed to be an eternity. He was obviously on the slopes.
We never skied together (though we did meet at the track once), he preferred to go with his dentist/doc friends midweek. Can you imagine a car-full of dentists going skiing? I miss the fellow. He made going to the dentist fun.
Note to self: don't move to AL or MN. Odd isn't it, these states get a ton of snowfall....

I've got a couple of ski addict patients, who my staff knows that when their names are in the schedule, I'm running behind for the next few hours
One is a MRG tele-guy addict, and the other a Patroller at a certain mountain that I regularly frequent It's definately a good day for me whenever I see either of those names in the schedule Similar threads
