BREAKING: PCIntern Dental Office Poll Results:

Methodology: subsequent to the administration of local anesthesia in a general dental office, respondents were asked a series of questions concerning their choice for President of the United States of America. The questions were the following:

"Whaddya think about the political situation?"
"Yeah? Whoya thinkin' of votin' for"
"Interesting. Any chance you'd change that vote?"

Results:

98% of Democrats stated that they were voting and would vote for Hillary Clinton
2% of Democrats stated that they were unsure as to whether they were voting or not.

Now is where it gets interesting:

50% of Republicans stated that they were not voting for Donald Trump
20% of Republicans stated that they were voting for him
30% of Republicans stated that they were voting for Hillary Clinton.

On edit: I have 9 staff: 7 voting Clinton, 2 Trump and those Trump voters are now mean and NASTY!!

Virtually no one stated that he or she might alter their stated preference.

All jokes aside these are the approximate percentages which I have deduced over the last two weeks.

I sent a woman to have a root canal done by a specialist near her home many years ago. She returned and said she was never going back there because he had Limbaugh on the radio and when he put the rubber dam over her tooth and she couldn't talk, he started all this RW craziness which made her nuts. She paid the bill, told him his chairside technique for relaxing the patient was the worst she'd ever seen and that she wouldn't come back for all the money in the world. He called me to apologize and I told him that foisting ones political ideology on the patient was an extremely bad idea.

That is unless you happen to be EXACTLY CORRECT ABOUT EVERYTHING as I am, and then it's OK. He didn't really get the joke.

to occasionally ask a patient, "Is it safe?" This is why my counselors suggested I opt for a career that didn't require customer contact.

(Think of the movie "Marathon Man"...)

It's fantastic and better than Marathon Man.

Google the Esquire article by William Goldman on his visit to a dentist from many years ago. It's a hoot
