We are back at Anse La Raye, the church where we were at on Monday. This time I was the only dentist with Gloria and two other hygienists. First, the leadership of Great Shape!, Inc. decided to sleep in and take the day off! We all were stupified. Turns out one of them had a birthday today, so they wanted to celebrate while their 34 volunteers were out working in the four clinics.
But, that forced/allowed us to run our clinic as we wanted. That is why we had such a great day! Our most productive day of the week with 39 patients seen, 22 cleanings and I pulled 32 teeth. A good day, a great team.

Oh, the protest. I knew last night that we didn't have a curing light for today. It is the blue light we use to harden our composite/plastic fillings. Essential to our craft. I asked last night and this morning for the light. None appeared. So, I stood at the entrance to Sandals and told the local lead that I wasn't getting on the bus until she brought me a curing light. She disappeared and the curing light wasn't delivered.
I held everybody up because no light was brought to me from the storage. Finally, after 20 minutes she showed up with the light and a rather unprofessional comment and then I got on the bus. Later in the morning, when I was ready to use the light, it didn't work! In conversation, discontent continues to grow. But, we are all professionals and we will carry on.......
