    Title : Bloody day
    Time : 11:27 pm

    Earworm: My Bloody Valentine~~Good Charlotte

    Deep breath thru the surgical mask. Im about to witness the breaking of an 18 year old guy's jaw. But not just yet. The patient was just wheeled in, and getting hooked up to drips and cathethers and pulse monitors. And he's shivering. I wonder if it's just from the cold. But not for long after mum put him to sleep. Extraction of two wisdom teeth first. The oral surgeon was kind enough to explain the areas of specialisation of dentistry, procedures to me and also the benefits of taking up dentistry in NUS (recognition bla bla).
    Since the surgery was a long and arduous process, mum took me around other operating theatres. Live brain, cyst removal, prostate surgery on display. Yes, all blood, guts and gore. No pic to illustrate my experiences. Just imagine. It's not all that bad actually. Waves of nausea didn't overwhelm me. But no, no medicine for me. Most of my mum's colleagues said it's a smart decision. That is IF i get thru the interview for NUS. So far haven't gotten my plasticine to practise with yet.
    Back to the oral surgery, the container storing the blood was filling up fast now.
    DR: Being a dentist is like being a carpenter. Don't need brains one.
    He proceeds to drill thru the patient's gums and chisel off bone to break the jaw. OUCH!
    Maxillofacial surgery-- not a specialisation for me.
    On the other hand, another doctor said: Go into orthodontics, there's where the money is!
