The lobby sounds very similar minus the helium balloons. Also, he has an X-Box and a PS3 set up in the waiting room, along with 2 iMacs for surfing. A fancy espresso/capucino/frothy-coffee machine also dominates a central pillar. On the same Pillar is a touch screen where you sign in for your appointment. There was a platter of fresh homemade cookies sitting beside the espresso machine. The walls seem to have been removed since the last time I was there 6 years ago and aside from the pillar there isn't a boundary between the lobby and the dentistry area. The dentistry area itself is interesting. There does not seem to be a design pattern, the dozen or so stations seem to scattered randomly over a large area. A flat screen monitor was at each station with the patients records displayed. The actual process of having the adhesive removed was pretty quick. The used some kind of high rpm circular file tool to just grind it away until my teeth felt smooth. After a bit of a chat with the orthodontist (he seemed very metrosexual) who came over to update the records and inspect the work I was finally free of the money grubbing hands of orthodontists. I grabbed a cookie on the way out. It was very tasty. I arrived at 10:45 (15 minutes early for the 11:00am appointment) and was out by 11:02am. The procedure cost me $0.00CAD. ================================================= |

Quote: along with 2 iMacs for surfing How do you surf on an iMac? Aren't you worried about eSharks? Ours has a gamecube and a PS2, and a bunch of flat screens in the lobby, which consists of a wavy arrangement of comfy chairs, with two circular aquariums/pillars with exotic-looking fish in them. There is also a glass case filled with all sorts of goodies you can get with wooden nickels that they give you for being a good little boy or girl. (I always saved up for the Best Buy gift cards) The dentistry area is a bunch of identical pods in a fan shape all facing outward towards the giant curved glass wall. Every pod has an LCD monitor, wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. The assistants are all women, and all are hot, except one who they seem to keep in the back. Strange. ~~~ I just got back from my dentist's, actually. (I had to get a filling) When I told him what I was going to school for, he said I should make a series of games that let people know what a job is going to be like before they get into that field... I think he's not happy, either. --- |

I should have mentioned, I have a cross bite. One of the reasons I should have went to the Orthodontist when I was younger. But meh. -- |

I've never seen that comic before. I'll have to check that out. It seems funny. ================================================= |
