The day on which i had t thought of penning this blog,wan quite unusual.It was so because i was in an unusual place:In the dental clinic.You may wonder why do i say it as "unusual place".Because i was not there for a dental check-up or something else..and am not a dentist for sure!
I was just accompanying a friend of mine,who is a dental practitioner.I just went there to say a "hi" to her after a long time.The clinic was quite free then.We started talking about our school days,cherishing our memories.She told about her practice as a dentist.She was working part-time there.Everyone knows..if there are two women at a place then there is no need for a single other person to make noise like anything.We were laughing,talking-indeed gossiping!!that was a sudden change in t situation that prevailed before my arrival.Then came the guy,"Mr.Perfect".
Since he had come for his check-up,i was waiting in the waiting hall,which was adjacent to the check-up room.I could hardly see my friend from my place.Everything was audible from there.ten minutes passed by.I did not have the intention to listen to anything.I just heard my friend asking,"when did u have this trauma?"
"In the age of 12"-he said.
"The condition is too bad.We can have a FPD and have an artificial crown placed over t tooth"
"What is that doctor?Will that affect my ambition of becoming an army man?Physical fitness is so important la?"
"Ah..?!!no..no..it wont affect.and you can have crowns in plastic,ceramic..."
"Doesn't ceramic cost much doctor?"
"Then you can go for plastic one"
Mr.Perfect had a lot of queries and said some personal feelings in between the conversation. Friend managed to answer all his questions and make him comfortable with the treatment.He was supposed to have a scaling(clean the teeth).
She complained him,"very poor maintenance".
"No.no..madam..it was so good.after this trauma..everything became bad"
Whenever she complained about his dental hygiene,he told the same thing!!
"You said when did u have this trauma?!"
"At the age of 12 madam.my teeth was so.."white"like milk...and..tr.."
AGAIN THE SAME"Mr.Perfect" answer!!
Suddenly she said in utter frustration"ah..!!then,i think you stopped brushing your teeth after that.It is in such a wonderful condition!"
i literally burst out to laughter.Mr.Perfect managed a smile hearing my laughter..and said,"he..he.. not like that madam.."
"anyway..stay calm and open your mouth"
He remained silent for the next ten minutes.Then he said he want to have the treatment confidentially.He never wants his parents to know about the treatment,that they could feel so bad about it,since they are illiterates.He paid the consultation fee after a small and smooth negotiation with my friend and left the clinic.
My friend said,"what kinda human is he?"
"Quite an usual one!!"
"Usual one?!i have never met a patient like this..so talkative and questioning.he wants to prove himself a "perfect"son.god!he made me feel like hell"
We dint talk about him thereafter.
But,i felt:
"Aren't we this much talkative in our mind?We are just like "Mr.Perfect",who wants to prove his point to be right and the most PERFECT of all.We all want others to point us as perfect human.Don't we?And whats t problem with this guy?He did express his feelings and emotions explicitly,which we wont do.every human wants to prove himself the perfect one to others.We have even formulated a proverb"no one is perfect" to keep us away from being blamed of our mistakes.HOW FUNNY THESE HUMAN THOUGHTS ARE?!!
we want to prove that we are perfect knowing that, no one could be so.Everyone is like that.Even my friend.She wanted to prove herself as a good dentist that she maintained her patience till the end.And me...i want to prove myself as a perfect blogger that i made u read the whole blog!!!
