The People

People came in droves to wait for a turn to be seen by a dentist. These few you see here are the ones that made it up to THE SEATS … the place for those who were next on THE LIST. To get on the list, they had to get here first in the day. Hence, the early mornings for all of us involved in making up The List.

There were families present from all of the villages in the area. Many would start arriving with the early morning bus and plan to spend the whole day standing, waiting.

There were usually a couple of neighborhood entrepeneurs selling munchies of some kind for the dental crew, as well as the long lines of patients who declined to leave to look for food.

This young woman impressed everyone with her patience and bravery throughout her extended time in the chair.

I heard several kids in line discussing the fact that they felt they could endure just about anything to get a pair of those Crocs!!
