Top Quotes & Wisdom:
[02:17] – "Generally, after you get bone grafting, you want to get the implant within about one year's time; the bone changes over time. It's called remodeling."
[03:05] – "A lot of people go into healthcare thinking it's going to be like Scrubs or Grey's Anatomy. In a way it is, the drama of it, but the actual work is not like these shows. It's real work."
[04:32] – "The rule was something like, 2 to 3 patients per ICU nurse. Nurses in the ICU were taking care of 6 to 8 patients, more than double the limit. It's just not fair for nurses."
[05:54] – "I was a dental assistant too - I was a surgical assistant before I went to dental school. You can do it, man. Go for it."
Top Questions:
[00:32] – "Do OMFS work in hospitals too?"
[01:04] – "Did you do research at Stony Brook?"
[02:11] – "I got a bone graft 3 years ago, but never got my implant. Could I still do it, or is it too late?"
[06:24] – "How is the career path as a 4-year OMFS graduate if you want to do reconstructive work?"
[07:35] – "I had a wisdom tooth extraction by an OMFS. It's been a week post-op and I'm numb in my lips and chin. What should I do?"
[14:37] – "Are you all coworkers driving home, or what's going on?"
