Dental adventures...and exhibitions....

[Guest guest]

A whole department of surgical residents got introduced to EDS this

morning...with my permission, I went " on display " for a short time, so they got

an idea

of the types of problems EDSers have, as well as a " demo " that should keep it

in memory (I don't mind some demonstration -- my disjointing happens so

easily that one or two done intentionally wouldn't even be statistically

significant). My shoulders brought the usual " Oh my God, stop that " reaction;

but my

wrists moving in and out REALLy freaked them this time.

In fact, the department head WAS the attending who did my last extraction; so

they have no problem just doing it, and were somewhat bemused by the

rejections I've been getting (I think I just scared them too much). So I lose

this

broken tooth next Tuesday. Nice to have my preparedness praised again...most

docs

are grateful to have all the pertinent information listed clearly and

concisely, rather than frightened.

One less thing to worry about. Curious, that the expectation of having a

tooth pulled is less stressful than the effort it took to get the appointment!
