Some years back I refused to complete the medical sheet in the Dentist’s office. I wrote across it that it was the same as last year. That was not good enough and the clerk summoned the Dentist (probably to intimidate me) who proceeded to tell me I had to complete a new form. I told him that I wasn’t gonna do it and I guess he wished to not be my dentist. Then I said, I choose Freedom and walked out of his office. This was all done in the waiting area and I hoped others heard it.
My point, not so funny that, now we are where that form was pushing me.
Funny - I had the same experience. First the dental hygenist scolded me for not flossing correctly and then got offended when I told her “That’s what I pay you to do”.
Then the clerk at the front desk pulled the same deal about updating records. She wouldn’t accept “Same as last before” so I took the form and filled it out....”Same as last before”.
She summoned the dentist and I told her almost the same verbatim. In her case however she stopped dead in her tracks and looked me square in the eyes and then said, “Fair enough”.
Good deal because she’s a great dentist ;’)
