After a year of filing and sterilizing, I finally got to work on my first patient at my volunteer ortho internship. I ask her how school was and woops, turns out she's 32 and well past graduated. She's asian and sometimes it is impossible to guess an asian's age (it's cool, i'm asian too). After a bad start my hands were shaking the entire time I was trying to untie her braces. I was so nervous and it was getting so hot under my mask that a bead of sweat dripped on her cheek. FML

😀 Too funny!
Ya I have to agree with the asians looking young thing. I am asian and I can't guess my own people's age. I once asked a patient's daughter how old she is. I guessed 13 but she's already a college sophomore lol. There was def a little awkward tension in the air after I said that.
On an OMFS externship I noticed a young asian lady in scrubs hanging out in the residents room, while I frantically searched for a biopsy jar. She asked if I needed any help finding something, and after I told her she offered to get the container for me. Judging by my interpretation of her age, and figuring she was a GPR resident/intern I agreed, and said something about me being "In room 3, that'd be great if you could drop it off."
Get a call the next night and wander in to OR where said young lady was staffing the surgery. I asked an attending to fetch something for me. FML

Ah ha i am an asian and i agree that we look younger when we are before 30
but when we get old we turns white haired and winkled so sudden
and the other people age slowly once they hit 40
I can not distinguish 40s and 50s years old people with other skin color
yes... i feel sorry looking at my parents getting old
anyway life is fair

I'm a 21 years old Asian girl.. i work with preteens in a mentoring program. We went to Chelsea Pier for Mentor's Day.. they were handing out gift bags to mentees ONLY.. I got one. Not going to complain about free stuff. However, the downside.. I get hit on by Middle School/High school boys still.. argggg.
Here is another one of my experience. I was at the air port checking in LAST YEAR and the lady asked me "Where are you parents young man?" I told her, "Why do you need to know where my parents are at? I think being 24 is old enough to fly alone right?" Then she asked me for my ID so I gave it to her. Then she's like..."oh looks like you are 24, you look a lot younger, my apology." Oversea people say I look too old, over here people say I look TOO YOUNG. I just can't find a balance in my life.
She still could have been 13 lol. There was a Korean girl at my university that was a senior @ 17. ASDOH has a dental student that's 16 or 17. I'm not sure what ethnicity she is, but still, that's just nutty!
This reminds me of that one episode in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Charlie gets involved with a foreign Asian girl, near the end of the episode they find out shes 13 
(The age was obviously fictional but they were playing on the whole ageless Asian thing)

She's 16, she'll graduate when she's 20....that's not nutty, that's just impressive!
That's crazy. Is she a prodigy on a PhD track?

I'm white....and I look younger than I am...oohh oohh look at me, look at me.
The lack of physical characteristics of puberty hurts Asians. Gents, grow facial hair and bulk up!
but for Asian women, we are pretty blessed, as we grow older, we still fit and our skin are still soft and not shrinking.
I feel bad for Asian men, they can never grow their facial hair right
At least they don't have to shave. I hate that fresh shave feeling, but not as much as I hate looking like Chubaka.
I still can't do that at age 25 lol

lol me either.......
the office manager at the dental office i work at was on the phone leaving a voicemail for one mr. roddick. at the same time, the same mr. roddick called back and goes "yah hi i just got a call from this number..." and i don't know what i was thinking but i just said "yah is this andy roddick?" hes like "nooo andy roddick is the tennis player. im ______ roddick." and i just felt so embarrassed...don't even know why i said andy roddick! and thats my embarrassing story of the day...
Yeah, just don't get too obsessed with losing weight. I wonder if that's partly why a lot of Asian girls look underdeveloped.

No facial hair is better than those fuzzy, semi-mustaches or semi-goatees that I see some Asians have. It looks desperate.
Just bulk up, and try develop a deeper voice (but not through smoking).
So I work as a dental assistant and a pre-dental student/friend from my university was shadowing the dentists I work for. We were doing just a normal /F denture adjustment. Ya know, nothing hard or anything, the sort of everyday dental office thing. So anyway, I bring the denture to the lab and am just going to take off the co-soft, refit, etc. Being the bad ass I am, I start explaining the importance of handling a /F denture carefully to this pre-dental/friend. . . because if you grip it to hard and aren't careful, it can snap. . . Yeah just broke an 80 year old's lower denture while explaining how easy they are to snap. FML
