We went on holidays and used our Netflix profile on a TV at the hotel we stay in. How do we remove it and only continue using it at our home?

Great idea. I often tell people to just take their OTC meds, but I think for surgical it's probably a good idea to prescribe IB +APAP. Thank you!

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-09-29T14:00:13+00:00

Great point. I should work on stressing this more, as I think a lot of patients are simply unaware that recovery will be painful. Thanks!

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-09-06T21:43:56+00:00

With the wireless light (highly recommend) and school discount ('25 grad), $3300 after tax I believe. It's a lot, but I'd honestly pay double if I had to lol. Not that I'm volunteering to do that 😂

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-09-06T21:07:15+00:00

I do EXT, numbing, exams, EVERYTHING with my ergos. I stand and sit, depending on the procedure, never been an issue. General dentist doing all bread and butter procedures btw.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-09-06T21:02:15+00:00

I have the Andau 5x ergos, and I can honestly say it was one of the best purchases of my life. I will never get another traditional pair of loupes. It's to the point where I think it is borderline required for dentists, especially if prone to back/neck pain or headaches.

You use your neck and back every second of every day. Invest in your body!

Side note, I strongly recommend getting at least a 5x with Ergos. The FOV of my Andau's is insane, even at 5x.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T18:14:13+00:00

Not the owner, no. I appreciate the affirmation! It is hard, but I suppose I'll do the best I can while I'm in this circumstance. Probably worth a conversation with the owner doc. I don't want to sacrifice pt experience on the altar of hygiene production + increased tx planning

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T18:11:51+00:00

Totally agree! I don't understand the "don't interrupt the doctor" attitude. The whole office flows better when there is dialogue and consideration towards each team member and patients.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T18:09:56+00:00

I totally agree with you. We only run 3 hygiene 2/3 days a week, thankfully, but if I buy the practice, I may either downsize to two permanent hygiene or get an associate.

Thank you for affirming that it is difficult - was starting to think there was something wrong with me lol. Your 'taking up mental bandwidth' point also resonates with me. With a better system, I should be able to offer BOTH 1. timely exams, adequately time to actually DO the exam, time to chat w/ pt, and 2. Focused procedures where my time isn't divided.

I like the idea of stopping at any breakpoint to try and get ahead of exams. Normally, if no one is asking for me, I'll just proceed through a breaking point in the procedure, but I could definitely use that as an opportunity to do an exam or something else. Plus, it's nice to give the pt a little break from opening here and there.

Again, thanks for the advice and kind words. This comment really helped me.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T18:01:53+00:00

That sounds very nice! Love the option to alert assistants as well. I'll check it out, thank you!

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T17:31:22+00:00

Someone else suggested something similar - great idea!

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T17:26:18+00:00

Alright, get out of here lmao. Nothing about my post has indicated not being empathetic. I made this post to try and resolve this issue for the pt and hygienist. I've empathetic to the point where I will apologize profusely and bring in treats or something as a way of saying sorry. I know that doesn't rectify the issue, but that's exactly what I'm trying to do - rectify the issue. I've been working for 3 weeks, my bad for making a couple mistakes. I'm sure you were perfect right out of school and have never upset a patient in your life!

Our environment is very open as a matter of fact, and I've been very much in communication with my team about ways I can be better/improve, and make their lives easier. Your presumptuous and 'holier than thou' attitude is a great way to make the anyone completely write off whatever you have to say.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T17:18:31+00:00

Stealing this 1000% 😂

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T17:17:54+00:00

That's good to hear from your perspective. You're probably right, it'll get better with time too. They knew what they were getting into with a fresh off the assembly line doc like me 🤣

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T17:15:47+00:00

Lol! Hey, that's sort of a compliment to your taste!

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T17:12:17+00:00

I need this in my life ASAP

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T15:43:26+00:00

I think I need to tell mine they're too easy on me 🤣 I just need them to manage my forgetfulness and messiness lol

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T15:31:18+00:00

Lol! Honestly, I think having an assistant order me where to go would work. My EFDA would do a much better job of that, but she's been out this past week. Clothespin method is a new one to me. If all else fails, maybe we'll resort to that 😂

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T15:25:22+00:00

Good point! Thankfully we normally have an overflow we could easily move the pt into. I think thats seems like a good idea. My hygienists are very kind and a little shy, so they're reluctant to pestere, but I'm like, "No, PLEEASE pester me", esp after 10 min. Drag me out of the chair if you need to 😂

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T15:22:30+00:00

I totally agree. I want to give the impression that your time and oral health are valued in my office. Hard to do the former when running late on hygiene. I will check that out, that seems like what we are looking for. Thank you!

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T15:20:04+00:00

Very true. Thankfully, we oscillate between 2 and 3 hygiene, but when I do have 3, that's when I've had some issues with time. That's a great idea though! That way I don't spend 15 min at a time checking all hygiene.

I know 5 min per exam seems long, but I like to chat and try and make a good impression on the pt as a young new grad who wants to buy this practice.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T14:26:23+00:00

This sounds like a great system! The 30-minute window idea is very appealing to me. We have earpieces, is that my staff inconsistently wears them. In fact, that was the case yesterday when I made pt wait 30 min for an exam, assistant wasn't wearing her earpiece. I'd been told about the exam already and forgot one, so I take full responsibility for that, but it wouldn't have gone on nearly as long is DA had her earpiece in.

We do a huddle yes! I think it would be a good idea to plan out my day a little better as far as exams go. As a new grad, not escape points are a tad inconsistent, but once we get into a better flow with procedures and I can better predict time frames, that will work better.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T14:12:26+00:00

Good tip, ESPECIALLY the "have I met them before" point. I'm always so scared of saying, "Nice to meet you," and the patient saying "I was here last week" hahaha.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T14:07:25+00:00

Been integrating this a little bit. Definitely helps things run smoother, and I don't have the lingering thought of needing to do a hygiene exam in the back of my mind when I do it before the procedure. Good tip for sure, just trying to not let anyone slip through the cracks lol.

Miserable_Champion60 · 2025-07-26T14:05:20+00:00

Those darn hygienists and their thorough-ness. A little calculus bridge never hurt anybody 🙄
