While we play the waiting game, I wanted to know everyone's crazy internship experiences!

For mine:

My first internship when I was 15 was with an endodontist. She is super sweet/I was a push over, so when the power went out for 4 days and she said she wished someone could clean the staff refrigerator, I volunteered. Oh, the smells.
 
Lol, that sounds so terrible. Can't say I've had any crazy experience but the coolest thing I saw was a super unexpected X-ray... 10 year old with a quarter sized tumor full of tiny teeth. Creepy but interesting! And fortunately benign. 🙂
 
I can't say any names (HIPAA), but I once shadowed a fairly famous dude get a cleaning. All I'll hint at is: "Jack & Diane"
 
I shadowed a very-well known celebrity dentist at one point. Saw a Playboy model, a rock musician, and a TV host all in the same day. 😎
