Ooooh. How did you react when you first heard it? How different were you amongst your colleagues vs in front of the patient?Pulled a tooth out on a guy who had filled his cavity with tire sealant

Flex Seal really does work on everythingPulled a tooth out on a guy who had filled his cavity with tire sealant
During my D4 year in dental school, a D2/D3 student accidentally took an impression on a patient using stone instead of alginate. Few heart attacks from attending faculty members ensued.
tufts dean of admissions is alleged to have abused his own children (he has 9 of them), his first ex-wife (he has two) apparently got a protective order against him before she divorced him. he didn't like paying alimony for nine kids so he tried to file for bankruptcy but that didn't work. students at IUSD hated him and never wanted to meet with him so his office was empty all the time and he didn't do anything except harass students. mostly girls. supposedly he devised an attendance system and apparently only disciplined non-white students for being absent when nobody really used the attendance system in the first place, because it was dumb. faculty hated the attendance system too and pushed back by making a rule that rules had to be applied to everyone ?? not just specific people? then dean thomas at tufts hired him because he wanted to increase diversity at tufts by hiring a white guy ?@pookey123 Any other interesting stories you could share?
it's been pretty brutal but the clinics are open now. PG students still get to do all the good stuff but they committed to graduating D21 class year on time, no experience required. it seems like the admin are tired of our **** and they just want everyone to leave, they said we're not allowed to stay through the summer to get more experience. no plans for weekend clinics or expanded hours either. I know quite a few individuals who have been harassed and attacked by our administration. D21 class drafted a formal letter of demands and sent it to the admin and they just ignored it pretty much. people are pissed about the extra fees and tuition increase but personally I would just like to get the education that I paid for, what they promised, and what I signed up for. how valuable is a dmd if you've never done a single root canal? all the abuse from school just to be left sitting around and doing pencil-pushing work is awful. I know other schools that have provided meaningful CE. we are paying 120k to teach ourselves is what it feels like. wish we could get paired up with faculty for apprenticeships or something. they also let a few students do externships, which is good for them but unfair to the like 80% of students who are getting zero externship experience. just feels like its going to be a dark winter. hope next summer things will be better then and we'll get a real summer@pookey123 How are things at your school this semester? Aside from the recent tragedy.
Wow, I'm really sorry to hear how difficult things have been for you and the other students. Thank you for letting us know of what's going on though. I hope things work out for you guys.it's been pretty brutal but the clinics are open now.
