In an age of reality TV, nobody can ever be portrayed as some infalliable idol or superhero anymore. Even the most frightening human being in your life – the dentist, is just another ordinary human being with his own hopes, fears and weaknesses. Regardless of whether you are my patient, this blog will help you understand this dental maverick from Singapore a little better.
Characteristics of a New Age Dentist (not necessarily young)
1. Hates golf. Loves to trek in the Himalayas.
2. No car, no landed property, no condo, no Rolex watch, no pot belly.
3. Buddhist/Hindu/Agnostic beliefs.
4. Believer/practitioner of Qigong and TCM
5. A backpacker rather than a luxury traveller.
6. Proudly NOT a member of the Singapore Dental Association.
7. Never reads the Straits Times
8. Obeys (no choice) but never sucks up to bureaucrats.
9. Hates the system, can’t fight it, so voting with feet when ready.
