today was quite an eventful day! i now have had the experience of being semi-professionally isolated and rubber-damned. spelling intentional.
somehow ended up volunteering for the isolation clinical demo since when Dr Lim asked for a volunteer/volunteeress everybody developed shrinking violet behaviour. it is now clinically proven that i have majorly tight contacts, especially in the lover jaw. thankfully these come with healthy gingivae, because i took quite a beating as Stan tried to floss in the rubber dam. taste of blood disappeared in 5min, lip anaesthesia lasted for almost 3 hours. other learning point: expect that the patient will not be able to spit accurately into the spittoon after LA.
tried eating lunch with the uncomfortable realisation that i couldnt tell if i was drooling out of the numb corner of my lip. went to the new cafe near the medical library with Mao and Clement and PJ and Anqi. which was in its own way quite a surprise. general consensus was that the food wasnt quite up to scratch. of special infamy is the Pasta Alfredo With Chicken, which had a rather soapy aftertaste. ratified by the rest, it has nothing to do with lubricant on my rubber dam. they did however save the day with their desserts. the cheesecake is of good quality and acceptable pricing, definitely recommended.
