Inauguration Day Dental Office Thread!!! All good news!

[PCIntern]

So I moved a large screen monitor into my treatment room and streamed C-SPAN. Universal appreciation and five of us watched the President's Speech. I had it on since 7 AM and it was like being there...no stupid wisecracks, no Blitzer "Uh-uhhhhhh's", no Gergenisms, no speculation about anything...just as though I were there and paying attention, or not. No Rethugs in today to my knowledge. My staff is all Dem on Mondays and they enjoyed it. Great stuff!

And no, I didn't poke anyone's soft palate or drill into their lip because I was distracted...

1. !!!

it always freaks me out when the dentist swings out a screen - I get queasy looking at my teeth and gums magnified! Glad you got to observe something better LOL.

2. Texan here-went to doctor and....

Luckily they had the food channel on. Didn't want to have to deal with any nasty comments in the waiting room. Raced home in time to see the President get out of his car.

3. Isn't it always good news

from your angle of the chair? Seriously.

4. Being a dentist is like being in the military:

hours of 'routine' with minutes of abject terror!

6. Both my sister and niece

would probably disagree - based on their paychecks alone.

Since my niece is an EOD Specialist, currently serving in the Middle East, I think she would probably disagree on every count.

7. It WAS meant to be a joke...nt

[Control-Z]

8. Oh. That was a joke?

OK.

Is that better?

5. Regarding C-SPAN and the inauguration coverage

Watched it all day....no talking heads telling me what I am seeing.....ahhhhhhh. Nice.

parade is on now and the sky looks threatening....hope the weather hold out for the parade marches and watchers.

.....the day was beautiful though.

I love a parade.....

9. Reagan's Inauguration Day

Of all things I was getting my wisdom teeth out that day. All 4 at once, general anesthesia, in the chair at the oral surgeons office. I was only 22 and a young Dem, already detested Reagan (if we only knew how much detesting was in the future...)
I could hear the news on the radio announcing the miraculous release of the hostages on Reagan's Inauguration Day, what an incredible coincidence! Not sure if I said that or just thought it as the nurse injected the funny stuff on my vein and the rest was blank til I woke up an hour later with a mouthful of stitches and cotton.
