Someone muzzle that mouth quick!
Oct. 23rd, 2002 04:24 pm...before I have another repeat of today. Ok, scenario set up time: I'm told to call a patient to let them know whether or not one of the doctors in the office can extract a tooth, or if he wants to refer out to an oral surgeon. Fine, so I do. I get the wife, who informs me that the patient, her husband, does not want the tooth pulled, so does it need a root canal? Not knowing the details of the situation, I go and ask the doctor about it. The tooth is healthy, but it's at an angle, which could cause periodontal problems later, and thus it's advised that patient remove it. Back I go to the phone, and relay this. Wifey gets, to my ears, a little snippy, stating that husband doesn't want tooth pulled, he's in his 30's so if anything were to happen as a result of the leaning tooth, it would have done so already. I say that I'm only relaying what the dr. said about perio problems. She seems to think I'm "pushing the issue", and the conversation ends, and lo...when I'm hanging up the phone, just before that final click, from out of my mouth pops "bitch", in a lower than conversational level, but most likely still audible. Gah. Thankfully, she must not have heard me, or else she would have called back in a furor, but still, I had NO idea that I was going to say that until out it popped. Almost as bad as when I goT so pissed off about whatever it was that I slammed my arm down on the edge of the desk. Scared the hell out of my co-worker. Gave myself a nasty bruise too. Bleh.
*sighs* I think I really need this vacation that's coming up. 11 days. Counting down.
