Clinic

The patient didn't showed up because of food poisoning. As usual I was looking for a collegue for me practise scale/clean and fissure sealant. I guess people thought I was wierd to be so keen in doing dental work. Dini asked me in front of everyone "Melbi, why are you so keen in doing work?" I answered "Because I like it."

I was surprised to found David as my patient because I didn't expect him to say yes when I asked. I thought this is gonna be a pleasant job because scale/clean is my favourite, but I was ultimately wrong. There were so many people in my clinic bay watching and talking because they all don't have anything to do. They were talking about a party I don't know and fishing. I panicked and feel awkward, didn't know when I should start dental work.

The work was done with everyone chatting beside me. It was awkward. David didn't want me to apply prophy to polish it. He said that he want an x-ray taken and Sunny did that job.

At the x-ray bay, everyone was talking about the party on Saturday night at Nirmani's place. They asked Sunny (who is only a new student this year) if he wanna come but no one asked me. I was in the crowd, being excluded from the conversation. I face situation like this everyday, so I sort of get used to it, but it still hurts. I comforted myself "It's ok, it's not your fault, one day you'll learn and it'll all be alright."

Then I found peace.
