Waiting for the iPad2...

So I am hoping to get my hands on an iPad2 to be able to draw anywhere... Meanwhile I am practicing on the iPhone... That coupled with the fact that my best friend JKT was in town visiting last week are my excuses for not posting a strip this week :p I promise I'll post something more substantial next week to make up for this... For the time being, enjoy my first go using a stylus and iPhone drawing apps ;)

Why there's no tv shows about dentists...

During all these years, I got a second degree burn from boiled wax of the processing tank... Stabbed my thumbs with burs... Witnessed my coresidents forgetting how crazily hot a casting ring can be and grab it bare hand... Had a classmate who got her hair stuck in the high speed motor trimmer... And our lab saw countless cut from buffalo knives... Sometimes I am surprised how we go through this with all our hair and fingers :p

How to evaluate a good denture...

SLT, I am sure you still remember about this since it was your patient in undergrad :p I have to admit that after 4 years of only doing pros, I have yet to hear a patient complaint that beats this one...

Is there a doctor on board??

 

Oh the joys of flying... This really happened by the way. That's the order in which they asked for health care on Air Canada.  So glad it didn't get to the dentist because I am so drowsy when I fly, I most probably wouldn't be capable of any sane diagnosis...

Meetings are temples of learning...

Dear Director, thank you for giving us tough love, always keeping an eye on us wherever we went, so that we would become the best we could...

This year was my first Chicago meeting without my two co-angels... Miss you gals!

Never run after a Canadian...

My sweet AD, now that I am not around, I hope you are walking slowly and carefully on the icy roads of Eastern America...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

On February 14th 2006, I woke up to a text message from my senior EE:
"Snowstorm, school closed, enjoy sleeping in!"
Best VDay gift ever! (No pun intended; when going through residency, extra sleep scores WAY higher than chocolate and flowers)

Ever since I realized school would close at the first sight of a snowflake (unprecedented for someone from Montreal), I started calling the weather alert line every morning throughout the winter :p

PS: Radi, the first draft of my research protocol was due the day after that snowstorm. If we didn't have that day off, that would have been THE one deadline I would have blown. I AM born under a lucky star ;)
