Suctionless Dentistry: A Patient’s Suggestion.

Patients October 26th, 2008

She: You know, eye doctors have this thing where the patient lies on their back and it rotates.

Me: Uh huh?

She: Yeah, maybe dentists should look into something like that.

Me: Uh huh?

She: It’s like the thing that mechanics use. You know, where they lie on it and then it slides under the car.

Me: Uh huh?

She: So the eye doctor rotates the patient so that they are lying upside down and the eyes fall forward and the doctor works on them from underneath.

Me: Hmm. Uh huh?

She: So wouldn’t that be easier for dentists and their patients too?

Me: Working from underneath you like you’re a car?

She: Yeah…like that…

Me: Except you’d drool all over me. No thank you.

She: Oh, you’re right. Hmm.

Me: Uh huh.

    Yuck. She was obviously not thinking that one through. I had visions of bloody drool the moment she said rotate. *shudder*

    That’s stream-of-consciousness thought at its best (or worst).
