From my experience, i realise that it will affect you during work and while dealing with patients. You shouldn’t be putting your anger towards a patient because you are having a bad day. In addition, I have learned to set aside everything else and give my all towards work even if it can slightly pass my working hours. I know that being in the dental field may require extra hours because of many reasons like emergency examinations or procedures with complications. For example, during the McGill stage, i had to stay an hour after everyone else left because the amalgam wouldn’t adhere to the tooth structure. The student was frustrated and so was I because of the fact that we were the last one standing, but i couldn’t stand the thought of leaving her alone. I knew she needed me in order to accelerate the procedure and that made me more than happy to stay. The fact that i am wanted helped me forget about staying a little
