Eternal Companion Interviews

So the semester is winding down and soon enough I will find myself enjoying the holidays and stuffing my face with delicious food while I try to convince myself that studying for boards is something I want to spend my break doing. (Perhaps I should take this blogging opportunity to see how long I can make my sentences.)

I have been accused by my pod partners of "flirting" with the young attractive men who come in for a thorough examination and cleaning. Really, I have to admit that it is somewhat true, as it should be. A young single woman such as myself should be on the lookout for a young man worthy to date. What better way to work my magical powers than to personally choose someone to lie upside down, in my lap with their mouth open? I have all control over the situation and if he says the wrong thing, I am the one with sharp instruments in my hands. Of course I would never do anything to purposefully injure one of my patients, sometimes I am all talk and no action. However, this situation presents a great opportunity for me to 'flirt' and thus fill my weekend with interviews over dinner or some other activity. Its a win-win situation really. It is also beneficial for me because I get to do a pre-interview during the appointment which gives me the opportunity to see if I would like to give him an evening out of my weekend. I don't have to be the forward one to ask him out and while he lays there in my chair he has no idea what it is I am up to. I use my charms on him and he asks me out. Clearly clinic serves more than one purpose.

Today is not going to hold such potential eternal possibilities as I do not have a patient that fits the above criteria. I will survive though. I have a feeling next week is my lucky week. As for today, I believe I have a 1B due in about 5 minutes and this afternoon, a previous class II. I am hoping for a class V though because my patient is not showing until 2pm and judging the difficulty of a class II versus a class V, I will be more likely to finish on time with a perio maintenance patient than one with active periodontal disease. This brings up another good point: by first examining and cleaning my potential husband's teeth I have the opportunity to know before hand if he is someone with dentition I approve of. I am still looking. With any luck my plan to win the heart of my true love (as seen above) will work!
