Soon after my near-death flight, I faced a greater terror — my anatomy exam

Dr Pam Rachootin.

My dentist was regaling me with stories about his university days while I had my mouth open, drowning in my own saliva.

He initially took joint classes with the medical students.

He was still traumatised about arriving at one morning test, finding a seat, looking around while not seeing any of his fellow dental students and suddenly realising that he was in the wrong venue. 

He ran out, worried he would not be able to make it to the correct room in time as doors were locked 10 minutes after exams started.
