Second Discussion



The great second discussion.... After postponing it several times due to Dr. Rodney's ill health and today am feeling tired,  confused of the present scenario and the memory of Dr. Shivapriyan's insult but here Dr. Oommen appeared like an angel, consoled me and said if you are not interested will think about another specialist, you do not need to visit him again........  Then he confirmed that preparing my teeth for the surgery will take 1 and half years.... I was completely in a dilemma to move on with it or quit it here but finally I decided to move on because some treatments should have definitely done on my teeth in order to keep that inside my mouth..... So now it’s not only the case of cosmetic issue.... A bit worried, a bit confused I’m moving forward.........

First Disappointment...:(



For the root canal treatment my dentist referred me to Dr. Shivapriyan, endodontist, a tall, slim and dark guy with a rude look..... His hands with a golden wrist watch caught my attention easily because that was the only shining thing over there I mean on that whole clinic.... His merciless look and talks frightened me a little. With a little fear I fixed an appointment with him on today morning at 9'o clock.....

Since am residing so far away from his clinic, I started my journey, my dangerous mission early in the morning around 6 am but this hectic traffic blocks, bus waiting's made me late and I reached his clinic at 9.15 am, 15 mins late  from the fixed appointment and I found that clinic empty... We, me and my sister sat there at the patient's waiting room for another 25 mins then he turned up with a devilish smile attached on his face..... He said am late, very late and started another 1 and 1/2 hour continuous firing without listening or giving a chance to clarify my part....A bit later I stopped listening his scolding I just noticed his lip movements.... His nose and lips were vibrating with anger...... My other doctors, Dr. Oommen, Dr. Jeomy and Dr Rodney, they were all very kind to me..... I never imagined such a bad situation there so I stood there motionless not able to adjust with that current scenario..... After a while I went near him and asked, what should I do now??? without knowing my doctors will help me to find another specialist to perform root canal..... He grinned at me demonically and said " i dont've time to do your RCT now, call me later, fix an appointment then come again", i turned back and slowly headed out to my sister who was waiting there outside of the room unable to accept his insult.... I knew I was late, and that was my mistake only because doctors don’t need to think about patient's problems apart from those treatments based ones but a humanity that was missing there... Am ready to agree that whatever happened, that all are my fault and he doesn't have time to do my RCT on that particular day but he'd have shown a little mercy on me, he'd have told that calmly with a voice which a normal person do not get frightened.....i'm a short girl only 5 feet long, near me he is like a mountain.... The scene was like a dinosaur trying to eat one kid!!!!!!This one was my first and worst experience which i never ever want to happen again in my life.....:(

On the way back to home i ringed my dentist and described him the bad experience which i have received from Dr Shivapriyan.... To my great relief, he consoled me and assured me that he'll discuss this with Dr.  Oommen.
