MS Raghunandan on the presence of mobile phones everywhere, including on the patient in the dentist’s chair.
I have a person in my dental chair who is half dead by fear even before I start working. Eyes are screwed shut, fists are tightly closed or the hands are clenching the handle of the chair tightly. Legs are trembling. Mouth is held open with the help of my gags. Body is covered in an apron and secured at the back. I start working. Half way through the treatment his/her mobile rings. Suddenly the person is alive and wriggling.
Who says those dreaded dentists don’t have a sense of humour?

I have not come across this restriction earlier while visiting dentists:
“Kindly leave your footwear outside.”
I increasingly see this request at the dentist’s, ophthalmologist’s, and lately, at the paediatrician’s
I can never understand the part about leaving footwear outside in India. I would understand if the hospitals had spotless floors and were afraid people would track in dust. No. The hospitals have dusty floors anyway, only now they force you to walk on them in your bare feet. Not to mention the various unnameable fluids that have spilled on the floor and been mopped half-heartedly.
Eww! In hospitals? At private clinics I can understand…. but hospitals… which is this hospital that you speak of?
