I'm a SUPERVISOR.. should I be LATE?!

11:23 PM Posted In Edit This 3 Comments »
At any given day.. anyone of us will wake up early in the morning.. get dressed.. scrubs of course.. come to school.. attend the lecture.. & set off to the clinic.. everything is set.. Infection control.. Instruments.. Lab Work.. Patient.. You!!
But still something/Someone is missing?!!.. So you wait & wait & wait!
it's almost half way through the sessions' working hours.. still not there!
So you eventually give up & you either start working on your own or ask an unassigned supervisor to check your work.. then the real problem begins!
He/She either doesn't like your work & wants some adjustments or simply tells you to go to your original assigned one who doesn't exist!
And once your supervisor appears out of  no where.. you hear the bells that cry out: "DISMISS YOUR PATIENTS!!"

Seriously.. they try to teach us the concept of not being late.. to attend the lectures on time.. 8:00 am or 1:00 pm sharp.. but they themselves lack this discipline!! You don't demand something.. you yourself DON'T do!
The time we waste on waiting in lines or wondering around searching for the "missing without a trace person" is so much & gets to a point that's very frustrating!
Sometimes a procedure that might have took only half an hour.. takes literary two hours! for God's sake! Our patients are people too.. they have families.. homes.. work.. like anyone of us!.. not because they can't afford to pay for private dental care means that ANYONE should make their dental experience more difficult!!

They teach us so many things that we don't see in them.. if these people are supposed to be our role models & we see them do this.. do you think we'll be any different in the future??..

Being a SUPERVISOR.. big or small.. does NOT give you the right to be late.. when it's time it's time! everything stops.. your job in these three hours is to be by my side.. teaching me.. guiding me.. giving me hints & tips.. NOT.. talking on the phone.. saying hi to long lost friends.. meeting with representatives.. giving consultations to other students.. interns.. board students!!! In these three hours.. you are my mentor.. nothing else!

Or is there another definition for the word.. SUPERVISOR ???

The problem is not the supervisor. The real problem is the college itself.

Could u believe that before 3 years our class was 27 student with the same supervisors number?????

He is a human-been too. He could not afford all of the work for sure. They try their best but the problem is still there.
He has to be with the students, the VIP patient and Saudi Board.
What should he do in a college like that?
He should give a time to each one in the sake of supervision.

in the other hand, some of them is abusing this point and never shows up in the clinic. Those who dose not respect this jop should be out.
As I said before it is a matter of a college and they will cover that supervisors coz they are their friends and colleagues.

hope everything be better in the future.
And I hope we get a better rank (better than 2998 or whatever it was)
