The life of a Dental Student

So Cory comes home every once in awhile with funny conversations he has with patients.  Tonight he had me in tears laughing because of one conversation he had.  This sparked a blog idea, I am going to post some conversations he has had to give you an idea, of course I will leave out names for confidentiality.

conversation 1: Older patient with Dementia, who always asks Cory if her husband was supposed to come back with her to Cory's station.  (Her husband had his own appt. so he was supposed to wait for his student doctor to get him). 

Cory: Hey look, your husband is coming back.
Patient: He must have gone somewhere
Cory: No, he didn't leave, He is just now being seated.
Patient: Yep, He must have gone somewhere. 

Conversation 2: Same patient, she was sitting in the dental chair as Cory was treating her.

Patient: So what kind of classes are you taking?
Cory: Mainly Dentistry classes
Patient: Oh....so you want to be a Dentist?
Cory: Yes, that is why I have been treating you the last few times you have come.

Conversation 3: Same patient

Cory's supervisor to patient: You're blood pressure is a little high today.
Patient: It's not everyday you have a cute, young man working on you!

Conversation 4:  A newly retired woman with a lot of dental work needed.

Patient: I need to get my teeth fixed quickly because I need to go to Ohio at the end of April.
Cory: Why do you have to go to Ohio?
Patient: My son was fighting in the Iraq war and now he is deceased.
Cory: Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that
Patient: Well his injuries actually aren't too serious.
Cory's thoughts as he tries to keep a straight face: Wow, she really mispoke on that one

Conversation 5: Old 80 year old man, super sweet and flirtatious

Patient to Cory's partner: I sure am lucky to be surrounded by beautiful women all the time.
Patient to Cory's supervisor: If I wasn't married and was available, I would date you right now.
