The "Smart" Dentist



In our dental clinic we have had a number of young fresh dental graduates working as assistants. They learn the clinical expertise gradually, gain confidence and then start their own clinic. Many of them would take guidance to set up their new clinic and some would insist we should do the inauguration.

The new dentist that came to work with us was always cheerful and had compliments for every body around. After about a year she told us she was trying to go abroad and requested for an experience certificate, with a forward date. Well, giving a certificate with a future date was not possible and she agreed to work till the proposed date to obtain the certificate.

On getting the experience certificate she told that she would stop working with us from the next day. To my friendly question as to her future plans she replied,'I haven't thought about it', which sounded strange.

After a few days one of our support staff got sick and she took leave. When she was absent for many days we called her up and she told that she won't be coming any more.

One day I got intuitive message from Kalima that the dentist had started her own clinic with our assistant as her staff. I was confused, how could it be, she was trying to go abroad. After two days we came to know that she had indeed started her own clinic. I was curious to know about the assistant. I didn't have to wait too long to know that it was true.
