A long time ago, I had a very unpleasant experience of going to the dentist, which left a deep psychological shadow on me. So far, I regard going to the dentist as a scourge and have a serious dental phobia. I'm not forced to go to the dentist.
However, my teeth won't hurt because I don't like it or I'm afraid. And toothache is not a disease, it hurts like hell. Years ago, my teeth began to hurt a little, and it became more and more serious, which has seriously affected my normal life.
Toothache is a great torment to me, not only physically but also psychologically. It is indescribable to see the food before you can enjoy it.
One day after many years, I finally got up the courage to go to the dentist, so I found an acquaintance who works in the hospital to introduce a serious and responsible doctor and hung up her number. The doctor speaks softly and is very friendly to patients.
It's my turn to treat. First of all, she carefully examined my teeth, told me that there was serious inflammation in my teeth, and suggested that I should have root canal treatment at least three times. With my consent, she went to another ward to find an assistant to cooperate with her to treat me. Give me an anesthetic first, and then start treatment after the anesthetic takes effect.
The whole treatment process takes about half an hour. Before each step, the doctor will tell me in advance the possible reactions, such as soreness, slight pain, bad smell and so on. The truth is as she said, and I'm not as sad as I thought.
Not at all, to be exact. I try to cooperate with them and shorten the treatment time as much as possible, because there are still many patients waiting in line outside.
After the treatment, I made an appointment for the next treatment and sincerely thanked the two doctors.
This is the most enjoyable experience of my life to see a dentist. It also cured my dental phobia and changed my view of dentists. It turns out that doctors can make the process of treating patients feel like a pleasure. How hard does it take to reach this extreme?
A good doctor should know psychology, because the patient's mood will have a great influence on the treatment process. Only by mastering the patient's psychology and reducing the patient's psychological pressure in a targeted manner will the patient be willing to actively cooperate, thus saving the other party's time and energy.
A good doctor should also be a very responsible and kind person. Without sympathy and understanding for the patient's pain, how can we put ourselves in the patient's shoes and try our best to make the patient suffer less?
For me, going to the hospital to see a dentist is considered a very troublesome and terrible thing. But the truth is, when I really made up my mind to do it, I found that it was so simple and not as painful as I thought.
Usually, what we think is difficult is mostly the obstacles we set for ourselves, or just our imagination, in order to find an escape reason for ourselves. However, no matter how to escape, things are still there. We can't escape the first day, but we have to solve the problem in the end.
Long pain is better than short pain. Now that you know you can't avoid it, face it bravely. Who said it would be a bad thing? The ancients have long told us the philosophy of interdependence between misfortune and happiness.
Therefore, when we encounter something that we find difficult, we must first overcome our psychological obstacles. You can tell yourself that it is really difficult to finish, but it must be solved today. If it is not solved, there will be serious consequences. Through psychological consultation and suggestion, increase the sense of urgency that must be completed.
The second is to act immediately to solve the troubles encountered in the actual operation process and solve the problems bit by bit. We should not underestimate our ability to solve problems. Without hope and distractions, we can always solve some seemingly troublesome problems well.
Writing here reminds me of a sentence in Zhao Benshan's sketch: difficulties are like springs. Weak is strong. If you have difficulties, you must go up. If you have no difficulty, you must go up. These ten days are very funny, but very philosophical.
