Kind of overestimated my own ability and underestimated the poor quality of my dental work in junior form and certain degree of 'shit-happen'ness.... Today is the perfect demostration of why not to put yourself in full gear when it's the first day back in school....
Originally I'm close to finishing most of the procedure for my patient with the cementation of a crown.... Right before I'm going to cement it, i found that the tooth has some problem... I can either leave it there or to investigate.... i chose the latter.... Once i knew that the restoration has dislodged.... I could simply recement it.... hoping that nothing would go wrong (as some dentist in private practice will do).... somehow feel that this is not the right thing to do... I did not care how much more work I'll have to do, at least I can feel good with my conscience.
Really proud that I can make this decision today.... dunno if you ask me the same question 2 years from now on, will I be able to do the same.... I dont want to think too much... just for the fact that i had been a good dentist, that's it. (or maybe I'll never be a dentist, who knows?)
Got a burn in my stomach today in lunchtime... I really shouldnt eat, I'd rather have a shot of alcohol to numb myself.
