Why I whine?

It's hard for ppl not in dentistry to understand why all of us in dental school whine.
I once tot maybe others are having similar stress too but looking at the number of couples in dental sch and high breakups with non-dental bf/gf, it does suggest ppl outside are unable to understand the stress we undergo. No amt of explanation will be sufficient till you experienced it. It's not just academic hectic lifestyle but the emotional feeling of being isolated from other peers from other faculties, not being able to lead a normal social life that is paining.

all the stress we whine about and encountered in sch are are true But they are just part of the process to make us handle stress better cos we'll be handling real LIVING patients independently next time. and i'm not discouraging ppl not to take up dentistry instead i encourage ppl WITH PASSION to take up. Don't come to dentistry just because of money or other reasons. It'll be painful.

I wouldn't say passion makes things easier for me in dentistry(in fact maybe just the exact opposite) but i would say it prevent me from giving up!

Strive on, Ruixiang.! :) .
