Joo Haf to Shake It!
Comments(7)
Kristin and I went to the dentist today. I’ll tell you one brief story to illustrate how awful it was. So they take about a million X-Rays of my mouth because it’s my first time there. They then inform me that they want to perform a panoramic X-Ray since I need my wisdom teeth out. I am well-acquainted with the panoramic X-Ray. In fact there is literally no dental procedure I’m not acquainted with (braces, fillings, root canals, multiple oral surgeries, bonding, fake teeth…I’ve had it all).
So I stand up, place my head in the machine and bite down on the plastic tube…Ready to go. The tech leaves the room and hits the button. Nothing. She comes back and tries again. Nothing. So the dentist comes in and starts shaking the whole machine while I am still biting the tube and still hve my head inside it and he’s yelling to the nurse, “Joo haf to shake it! Joo haf to shake it, wait for light to come on THEN do it!” So they both shake it violently for several minutes before deciding that they should probably let me take my head out and try the panoramic another time. Not the best experience.
* Editor’s note: I do admit that the dentist was indeed Arab and that some may feel that me using “joo” instead of “you” and “haf” instead of “have” may be deemed racist and or offensive, but I typed it both ways and let me assure you that this way is definitely funnier.

How is it you always find the Arab Drs???? Didn’t you have a similar experience in Lakeland getting blood taken?? By the way,were you cavity free???
Had one cavity. So sorry to disappoint mom. Yes, in Lakeland I had a Dr. prescribe me two medicines that are lethal when combined (seriously). When I called her to let her know that I had read on the bottle that these two things specifically said not to take them together she said, “Oh yes, you’re right! Why don’t you wait two weeks before you start on the second one.”
I can totally relate to bad dentist experiences. I too have had the gammit of dental work so this story made me giggle. We miss you Jordan, you are too funny.
Miss you guys! When are we going to get together and catch up on life?
I haf to say my favorite moment was when doctor Mohammad said ” your insurance can go to h%@#$ “. It really let me know he had our best interest.
Kristin, Agreed.
Also – just to clear this up for the readers. The doctors name actually was Mohammad. That was not just a generic stereotype placed upon him by my lovely wife.
Let us know when you are in Orlando area and we will make it happen. Or we will let you know when we are on your coast :0). You have to meet Nehemiah. Have you seen pictures?
