CSI: Perth

hAHa sorry, we’re not having any CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) tv drama based in Perth. The CSI: Perth that I’m talking about is the Clinical Scientific Innovative… say what? You can click away now before I bore you with my ramblings of dental conventions and what not.

The 33rd Australian Dental Congress and Exhibition in Perth is just around the corner, yaY!? I know that there’s actually not much to get excited over, I mean who wants to sit in on lectures during the weekend?

I don’t mind though, because I know that I have a long way to go before I can confidently say that I’m the best at what I’m doing. There’s so many articles, research journals and new products, to read up on. Even after you finish one, you realise that there’s a whole stack of other articles contradicting the one you’ve just read…. it’s just never ending!

So anyway, I’ve looked through the Programme quite thoroughly and I have a fair idea of what I’m sitting in on (or in some cases what I’m NOT sitting in on). I just wish there was a little more detail into the presentations, I’ld rather not listen in on something that bores me to tears… I think I would rather have a monotone lecturer with an interesting topic than an animated lecturer with a boring topic.

I think Sunday is the one I’m most looking forward to, geriatrics and paediatrics… not exactly sure why because those patients aren’t exactly my favourites I suppose it’s because it’s most rewarding when you finally convince the stubborn 70yo or bratty 6yo to brush their teeth. Obviously I haven’t quite mastered the right way in handling these types of patients

Well, hopefully the other days won’t drain my brain too much…
