music for a dentist’s office
October 16, 2007Yesterday, I had to endure the high-pitched whine and muted, but persistent buzz of assorted dental tools that inflicted various degrees of discomfort. Sweating to the oldies took on a new dimension.
I asked my dentist if that was her music of choice. She explained that the oldies were a compromise. The staff (all women, average age 30 - 40) fell asleep to songs without lyrics.
While the staff struggles to stay awake, the patients are willing themselves to be calm and cool. Interesting challenge.
The next time I go in (3-hour appointment during which I will be unconscious, thank goodness), I will present them with something a little different, because the next umpteen times after, I will not be under the nitrous.
