“Please! Just don’t take me in there!”

Ah! Dentists! Such wonderful people who help care for your teeth. But for some reason they are also the most scariest people to me.

I've had a history of visiting dentists which included a whole lot of pain and very poor results, which has made me so terrified of visiting them.

I remember one instance in particular from that terrifying period of my life which makes me burst out laughing even now.

I was in the 6th grade I think, one of my molars had turned bad and i had to undergo a root canal treatment - which of course is very painful and takes a long time. If something goes wrong the tooth maybe removed.

The clinic my mother took me to was quite small, a small waiting room and one bit wider cabin which was also an operating area and the consultation area.

I was so scared that even when the dentist just waved his hand in front my open mouth, I would anticipate pain even though he did nothing. Which is hilarious now that I think back. To my shock the affect of the local anesthetic that the dentist injected stopped working just a few minutes into the process!

I could do nothing but scream! Scream as if to raise demons from hell! As expected the adults did think I was being dramatic and tried to pacify me to no avail. A couple of nurses and my mother held me down and the dentist operated on my teeth among my intolerable screams and shrieks.

I can just imagine the reaction of the people in the waiting room, I'm pretty sure half of the kids waiting there peed their pants after hearing my screams - "what horrific experiments do they do in there?! Mama! I wanna go hoommee!" And "I promise I'll brush my teeth every day, twice a day or even thrice a day! Just don't take me in there!! Pleeeaasee!!"

As it went on, a couple came in with their son who was a lot younger than me. I was silent when they came in as the dentist was telling them something until a nurse directed them to a chair to talk. Once they sat, the dentist focused his attention back at me and started poking my teeth with one of thosr needle things...

I let out the most terrific scream that probably no one had ever heard before. The couple and their son had these scared expressions on their faces, the boy clutched his mother so tight looking at me with those scared little eyes.

I don't remember much after that but I'm pretty sure they picked another dentist. Of course the dentist, nurses and my mom were very upset at me. But honestly i still remember the pain.

Either way it was awkward, shameful and embarrassing at the time but now that I think of it... I can't help but laugh.

This incident always reminds me that whatever we go through may seem pretty hellish at the moment, but those things will always change or we can atleast make peace with it. Maybe someday whatever we thought was bad can make us laugh and brighten up our mood.

“My arm!” he looks in shock

Nandu & Co go on a tour to Camp Cramp

Nandu, in his younger days, used to travel with his friends. On one of his winter trips, he visited Mysore. Mysore is a cool place and in the winter its even cooler (esp. to us southerners). This trip was an overnight trip, Nandu and his friends did some sight-seeing and came back to the lodge they were staying at for the night and started talking and playing cards after dinner.

Nandu had a habit of placing his arm over the chair when holding cards, as the night grew darker, the room became chilled (the room didn’t have any heating as for Mysoreans it was normal, they didn’t think it was cold enough for a heater). Nandu wrapped a shirt around him without removing his hand that was over the chair and continued playing. As it passed midnight, he started dozing off, his hand was still over the chair, sleepily he buttoned his shirt and dozed off right on the chair!

Around 3 at night he half wakes from his slumber, only to realise that one of his arm had gone missing! He tries to get up from his chair, but he can’t! He can’t feel his left arm at all, he tries to move his right hand over his left shoulder trying to see where the arm went and all he found was the empty sleeve of his shirt!

Terrified he starts yelling at his friends that his left arm has disappeared and slowly one by one they wake up. They too try to see what has happened and are shocked to see that his shirt sleeve is empty! They try to get him to move to the bed but even if 2 people tried to lift him, he’s kind of stuck to the chair! Nandu then panicked and began crying that someone stole his arm.

Scared and confused, some of his friends ran down to get the lodge manager for some advice. Then Nandu slowly got the feeling back in his left arm, he realised that as he wrapped and buttoned his shirt before dozing off, he forgot to put his left arm through the sleeve and in that cold night, his hand cramped and he couldn’t feel it!

Realising what had happened, his friends roared with laughter and the panicked manager was annoyed at being woken up at that time, but he couldn’t stay annoyed as he heard the story and went back laughing.

After the trip Nandu & co came back, but his friends never stopped teasing him about this incident for a long, long time.

Ah finally finished this painting 😍 I was inspired by a photo took by @l_leisan she herself is a wonderful artist, very happy artworks she draws 🙌 #watercolor #art #mushroom #rock #leaf #nature #photo #walk #reference #stone #rain #brown #earth #beauty #artistmichi #sketch #michi #inspiration #realism #artistoninsta #indianartist
