This really nice patient found me on Twitter and posted to my newsfeed

I'm so Blessed and Grateful to still be able to work 8 years with #stageIVpca and even more so when the patient expresses such a wonderful sentiment.

A long term patient asked how I was doing and I replied that seeing a 15 or 20 year pt elevates my mood and keeps me wanting to work and not retire๐Ÿ˜Š

Fight on Y'all

A ton of pts appreciate what we do for them, but rarely post on social media. And not a lot of whole smile changes. But when we do, it can be dramatic

We all crave validation whether in a job, or other venture. Even here in this forum, we high five other's successes

Decades ago an older sister brought her lil sis into the clinic that I worked at. The lil sista's top front teeth were all badly decayed. The older sis paid for the root canals and crowns. Lil sis left with acrylic temps afterwards.

At her crowns delivery appt, lil sis wore lipstick as she now cared about how she looked as opposed to when her teeth were decayed.

The older sis told her Mom to stop by the clinic, and when lil sis came out with her new front teeth, Mama exclaimed "Ay Dios mio, que bonita" Oh my God, how pretty

That really made me smile. Who benefits more the giver or the receiver? - Both do๐Ÿ’™

LOL, did you notice the bottle of Jim Beam that was being passed down the line and the Haole (Caucasian) with "Token white boy" on his chest. At the end of the song we dropped down onto a knee and sang with arms outstretched "I'm just a lil Hawaiian and a Homesick island boy, I wanna go back to my fish and poi"

This is how it shoulda been done : youtu.be/gBetidGgdSw

LOL, not familiar with youtube.com/watch?v=i_kF4zL...

Been listening to Country music lately, saw Cole Swindell in concert and before that violinist Lindsay Stirling

Good for you Brother, musicwise

When I was down in the Cerritos area as a clinic DDS, I would surprise my Black pts with the songs that I knew :-) from like TLC, EN Vogue, Anita Baker, Sade, SWV, and even some Kanye

I just listened to an NPR interview with Samara npr.org/2022/09/20/11241427...
