us, unique.

13 august 2008-

Happy Lefties Day to lefties around the world.



not many people were aware that i practice with my left hand. i take that as a positive output: it means they are comfortable with me even though i am somewhat 'different'. but some who notices often ask me the oldest question: how do you adept? i do not know how, i just do. some of my left-handed colleagues do their work with their right hand (i applaud them- their practice makes them ambidextrous) but for me, i like being different; and if practicing dentistry with my left hand makes me unique, so be it.

does being left-handed affect the outcome of my work? i would like to believe absolutely not. i trust it is who we are, not which hand we use, that determines the outcome of what we do.

there are dental chairs that can be set for left-handed dentists, but i am comfortable with the right-sided settings. besides, all my locum dentists are right-handed. i wouldn't want to trouble them unnecessarily. it used to be awkward for my nurses to adapt with me, since i do my work from the left side; but by now i am pretty sure they are getting used to it.

to all lefties out there: celebrate our uniqueness!

salam atie,
untuk ganti gigi yg hilang bridge mmg solution yg paling best. takyah nak cabut gigi yg ada, instead guna gigi tuh sebagai tiang dia. atie nak ganti satu gigi je kan? kalau satu gigi je mb perlu buat 2 unit atau 3 unit bridge. so maknanya kalau dr tuh quote rm550 satu unit, kos awak dlm rm1100-rm1650. ok sgt tuh. antara yg termurah jugak tuh. pasal bayaran, awak bincang2la dgn dr tuh. bridge ni kena 2x dtg, so awak mb boleh set jarak appt awak sebulan, so that way awak kira boleh 2x byrla... ok? good luck!
