"I Envy You"

A long-time patient was seen today on an emergency basis for a toothache.  I referred him to Dr. Banchs for a root canal. My patient recently retired because of health reasons. On the way out he we were talking and he said, "I envy you because you love your job and most people don't."

I am, indeed most fortunate to have a job that I love. Growing up, my family existed pay check to pay check and complaining was useless because there were no options.Consequently, I learned to like things that most people hated because we didn't have the luxury to do something else.

I love fixing teeth
