Female dentists

[monster]

I generally find female medical professionals more empathetic and less condescending. But I've some across the occasional decent bloke and the occasional awful woman. The awful women are usually older with a distinct air of spinster about them and zero bedside manner, the OK blokes are of varied age and complaint, but are never recently qualified. The noob male doctors are so convinced they are gods they are appalling. Dentists are the worst and i suspect that's because you literally can't comment on your poor treatment at the exact moment you are receiving it.

Yeah, I must confess. I had a female dentist in Berlin who was "this close" to putting her fist into my face because I flinched once! She then told me that she didn't want me as her patience any longer. It's true!
