I can't even book patients because I've been denied from Axium (computer program used to book patients and list all of their treatments). I can't even work on typodonts (pre-clinical mannequins).

I have a meeting this afternoon to see what's going on.

Dentistry bites.

Woohoo. It's a one month suspension.

And they're fearing a lawsuit, because I'm a double minority (international gay arab dental student).

Yeah, I finished and passed all of my exams. It's all just clinic duties.

I had no idea what's going it. It's such a slap in the face.

CurseoftheGods · « **Reply #7 on:** June 23, 2010, 10:51:48 AM »

It looks like I fucked up a filling on a kid due to poor documentation from other students (it's the first time I've seen the patient), and the paediatric dentist who was supervising got really pissed and wrote a negative skills assessment and a report about me. She became really vindictive and wanted retribution.

Oh, well. A one month suspension seems kind of counterproductive in my opinion, but I realize that I have to bend over for my superiors to get what I want.

Sorry, dude, but just hang in there and stay calm. A friend was in a similar situation as you but he got expelled. He basically went nuts and contaminated the surgical tools in an operating room by rubbing his dirty hands everywhere. It was a shame because he was one of the top students academically.

I've just been told due to those write ups, I've been given an F in Clinical and Comprehensive Patient Care and have been selected to repeat the entire year.

Woohoo!

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #25 on:** June 23, 2010, 04:06:39 PM »

Yeah is there any way for you to appeal that decision? From what you've said it doesn't seem justifiable to have you repeat a WHOLE YEAR because of one mistake. But I dunno how stringent the requirements are for dental school, so maybe I'm wrong here

CurseoftheGods · « **Reply #26 on:** June 23, 2010, 04:23:05 PM »

I also got 3 negative skills assessments as well:

1. Overpreparing a tooth
2. Messing up an endo diagnosis
3. Cutting (papercut like) a patient's lip with a finishing strip - even though the patient told the instructor it was her fault, because she moved
4. Retreating a tooth (doing a filling two times, because of poor documentation)

The last one was the straw that broke the camel's back.

There is an appeal process, but it doesn't really work.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #27 on:** June 23, 2010, 04:32:05 PM »

This is the note I wrote to my classmates.

Quote

Dearest Colleagues,

I have had a lot of time to think about this. I just wanted to thank you all for being supportive.

I realize that I'm not the best in class clinically. I do wish that I got notice further ahead, but it really is no fault but my own since I'm so sensitive and thin-skinned.

I do appreciate you guys trying to reach out to me, even though I admit I haven't been responsive enough in that regard.

Without naming too many names, I do want to thank Karim, Rammi, Jonathan, John, Sam, Jordon, Ian, Dav, Alexandra, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Erin for being so helpful.

I really am going to miss you all so much. It really hurts that I can't continue the year with you guys even though it's due to my own incompetence and shortcomings.

I haven't asked much of the class, but I do hope that I keep getting invited to social events. Please don't forget about me.

If I didn't mention your name, don't take it personally. I have no grudges against anyone in the class. I do love you all, but I just want the people who bent over backwards for me to be recognized.

You are the reason that I'm still alive today. When I first got the email of my suspension, I contemplated suicide. Your support has talked me out of it.

I could make an appeal, but I'm just going to bend over and take it (since that's what I do best, LOL! I MADE A FUNNY). I'm just tired of fighting.

Thank you. I wish you all the very best.

XXX

What the fuck right, there's no regulation regarding those particular classes that would result in a flunk due to skipping classes, fact is the motherfucker didn't like my ass and that's about it, it happens a whole lot with me, half of the professors hate my guts with a passion.

Whatever, so because of this asshole i can't finish university in 3 years, ok. This semester, i took the same classes, and chose to have the classes under the same professor. Guess what baby, i'm riding a 16/20 so far, and i've been cruising that shit.

Every kind of writing has its place and uses, it all depends on the effect you want it to have. Funny thing, i always get props for my writing and for my oral presentations. In literature, the professor singled out (along with other 4) my answer in the test as one of the best amongst 100 students answers. In his words, my answer was an almost perfect text, only lacking in actual content regarding the specific question.

I hadn't read the book. I kept my mouth shut!

I didn't contemplate suicide for repeating a year, but it did feel like the final nail in the coffin.

I've just had a rough life, and the past year has been horrible for me. I've had way too much shit thrown my way, personally and academically.

I'm seeing a therapist for a few months now. She has diagnosed me with clinical depression. It's helpful, but it's really hard to shake this feeling of inadequacy and loneliness.

To people who don't understand how depression works -- it's simply not feeling being bummed out, it really feels like physical pain ALL the time.

But I'm not going to end myself. I'm not going to take the easy way out.

Anyway, I've got the summer off. I'm thinking of going to Amsterdam to do some reflection and think about what I should be doing next. I think there are a lot of things that I should consider changing about me.

P.S. Coming out and being gay sucks.
