This happened about 2 years ago when I was still in dental school. I’m sorry about any mistakes, English isn’t my first language.

I want to start by saying that I’m a very nice dentist, I’m not a nice person at all but I’m very nice to my patients. I’m also pretty good at my job. I won’t say I’m the best but I know that I’m good. That day however I was NOT in a good mood.

A lot of terrible things happened to me in the morning that ruined my day and as if that wasn’t enough, I went to my job just to find out that Doctor Smith (fake name obviously) is the attending doctor. He is the worst. He will show up 15 MINUTES after we start working on our patients. I don’t think he realizes that we are just students and we might need help.

Anyway it just put me in a worse mood.

So the secretary gave me a patient. One thing you need to know is that if the patient wants a same gender doctor because of religious reasons then we HAVE TO give them a same gender doctor but if the patient wants another doctor for no good reason then it’s up to us, we can sent them to another doctor or we can tell them that it’s either me or no one and they are free to leave if they don’t like me.

I got the patient, I put on a smile and approached her, she looked at me and said “Hi I’m waiting for doctor Jones” I said “Yeah I am doctor Jones” She looked at me again, clearly disappointed and said “oh I assumed Doctor Jones is a man” I tried to use my nicest voice while answering “Well you were wrong”

There was silence for a moment while I prepared my thing then I heard a fake short laugh from her “Look honey I’m not saying you are bad at your job, I’m sure you are really good at it. But I want to extract my tooth and that requires lots of strength and I believe it would be better suited for a male doctor” Now I’m so angry but still trying to be nice “I assure you I have extracted many teeth before and I can do it as well as any man” She didn’t say anything.

I left to get some more things that I needed and as soon as I left I saw her jump from her chair and went to the male NURSE and begged him to extract the teeth instead of me, who calmly explained to her that he is not a doctor and she should just let me do my job. Now I’m fuming.

I went back to her and said “Do you want a male doctor?” She said yes I do. I said fine then.

I looked around and there he was, the exact person I was looking for, Kai. Kai is one of my classmates and he sucks at his job. He is absolutely terrible. We even had a bet on when he will be kicked out.

I took the patient to Kai and asked him if he wants to have my patient. He was more than happy to do so.

Then I sat back and watched and to my delight, Kai was also with doctor Smith, which means he wouldn’t get any help for the first 10-15 minutes. It was like Christmas come early.

It was a disaster, I loved every second of it. I don’t want to go through how much pain the patient was in but I will say that she was in tears when it was finally done. It’s a pitty that Kai dropped out shortly after. I would have sent all of these kinds of patients to him.
