You can choose yourself at this moment or you can choose yourself 10 years ago. Or 5 years ago. Or 20 years ago.

The stress of final exams, case presentations and interviews is now behind you and the thought of telling people you are now a ‘real’ dentist seems like a sweet ideal.

I don’t know if I ever had “regular” readers of The Blogging Dentist. But if I did, I probably made them think that I’m not writing any more. I’ve fallen down on the job.
