Working in a new, hectic clinic is turning me into a monster.
Impatient, cold, sarcastic, and bad quality of work.
Nothing that anyone wants in a health care professional.

A patient asked:"How is the sterilization in this clinic? Is it good?"
I replied:"Uh, we've tried our best to keep them sterile but you cant expect too much from a busy clinic!"
He said further:"I'm sure government is better then private"
Me:" Oh no, privates got different standard, depends on which one you chose to go" (in another word: you must have been a cheapo and found the bad ones!)

Another patient asked today:"Oh can i bring my daughter here on Saturday?"
I replied:" Oh yeah, you are welcome but we won't be here seeing you for sure. The school is off on weekend and we too need our break!"

I've been repeating myself  hundreds time since i started working:"One treatment a day. No More!"

Sometimes i wish i can just tell them: "Shut up and let me continue my work". or else "Get out and get the next patient in ASAP!"

I half jokingly told a nanny who wanted her sensitive or else sound tooth out of her mouth:"I am not making you a denture since you wanted your healthy tooth out so do not come and see me!"

An uncle got up after his scaling and told me:"Wow, you did the scaling in one shot, didn't even give me a break. The private i went gave me a few."
I replied:"Oh wells, this is the government and see how many cards stacking behind?!"


Wish i can stick a post at my door:
Dear patients, less than 10 minutes per person. What can you expect? Just don't turn up on a busy day or else go to a private and get as much pampering as you want!
