I recently got involved in a discussion with a friend that led me to find out something interesting about myself. I am one of those people who doesn’t like it when a doctor or dentist talks too much during an exam. I assumed that everyone felt this way but the discussion with my friend made me realize that some people really like it when the service provider does a lot of talking.

To me, it just doesn’t make sense for some doctors to do a lot of talking. For example, I was getting some Washington DC cosmetic dentistry done at one point (nothing too serious, just Washington DC invisalign braces and whatnot) and the Washington D C dentist insisted on talking throughout the whole procedure. What was worse was that he was asking me questions. You can’t talk easily when you have a dentist working in your mouth so the whole conversation was just awkward.

It’s not just dentists that I don’t like talking at me. It’s most doctors. And massage therapists for that matter. But I guess not everyone feels this way. My friend said that she feels a lot more comfortable when the doctor is chatting away about nothing rather than just being clinical. As for me, I’d prefer that the doctor just do the job he’s there to do!
