* still..
I showed up early that day, I wish I hadn't..
When I got to the parking, I thought that everything is alright, but I guess I was wrong.
It was very weird, that patients were lined outside the building next to another one, I couldn't care less.
But the surprise was that there is no electricity yet..
From yesterday's shut down at 1 p.m. till today 10 a.m.
what kind of hospital is this one??
* not a bad day yet.
I just can't stop smiling. After we got blessed with the electricity back on, he asked me: would do you like to practice, or you're just comfortable sitting watching?
With a huge giant hidden smile and obviously fake confident: I prefer to work.
First I thought that he may wants to hold suction or help in retraction, but he surprised me with obturation of #16 which has 3 canals with DB severly curved. I shocked at first, then I said what the hell? I've done this before, so why not now? I put on than confident mask on my face.. And got it apmost done :D
I thought that my share is only this case, but later on I had MOD class II on #25, then obturation of #1, finally TF
* my mentor comments.
- you can't use the hand-piece without water coolant.
- you never obturate a wet or humidified canal.
- I have a surprise for, we have tweezers so you can use them for gutta percha obturation instead of using your hand for that.

3rd day training
2nd day training
* power shutdown.
It is a normal day, until one afternoon.
The break time was just over, patients were just getting in, everyone was getting ready to make his patient satisfy and comfortable.. Until the power went a shut-down. The clinics were dark, hot, and empty.
Patients were annoyed, doctors deeply were pleased, hopefully they can leave early today. We waited until 2:30 before we left home.
Not much interesting day.

First day training
*Me as the "New Guy"
I was kinda nervous, I had a lot of wonders, late arriving the hospital parking. I hurry to sign in, went to the supervisor's clinic asking: where should I start my first day in the program?
You may go to clinic 9 then I will tell you where to stay for the rest of the week.
Ok.. I answered
No patient yet in clinic 9 until afternoon! Told the supervisor
He said: Mmm.. You can follow your colleague GS to clinic 6
Knock knock..
Yes
I'm here as Dr. A told me for training
You can't cause the clinic will be crowded..
I kept on such a situation till I finally end up in the Fixed clinic..
I wish I hadn't.. :(
* the coolest thing (color changing alginate).
Alginate impressing material please.
She opened that box containing yellow powder, started mixing a red mix, then she hand him a rubber bowel to load the impression.. While he was waiting for the impression to set. He had a yellow spot on his gloves.. I didn't care much.
when he removed the set impression, it was yellow again.
* the alleys gang !
You can see them, lined out side their offices, staring at every person who just come by. Bunch of doctors, interns, and auxiliary personnel.
When they show up in that way, you can tell that it is not a big day.
good sign I guess :D
