Slightly disturbing...

[kitkat]

So I had a dental appt today for a cleaning and as I was walking past the reception area to "the chair" they had a little "decorative" knick-knack sitting on the counter of a skeleton strapped into an electric chair! I know it's halloween and all, but I found this slightly disturbing as it bears an all too close resemblance to the situation at hand in a phobics eyes lol ...pumpkins would have sufficed . I almost wonder if it was some sort of sick humor??? even though my dentist is usually very sensitive towards patients fears...just seemed too ironic to not be put there intentionally??? I mean "The Chair" and "THE CHAIR"...I guess it's reminder that things could always be worse lol.

I would have thought anyone would find an image of an electric chair disturbing most anywhere...think a complaint email is probably in order.

Hi,

That sounds awful..!! It's bad enough being afraid of "The Chair" without your own dentist trying to make fun of it.

Reminds me when I flew to Florida from here (UK) and I was really afraid of flying (though I'd flown hundreds of times) the in flight programme was a documentary film called " Dangerous Skies" which shows aircraft flying through bad weather and causing near emergencies and also one plane crash !!   I was a gibbering wreck when we landed  

Make a complaint, if only light heartedly just to voice your thoughts.

Love

Jools

Yeah i had a similar experience whilst flying to Africa. 1 Movie shown was based on September 11th !
Now i'm not a nervous flyer,but that feaked me out ..

If i saw a electric chair in the dentist - i wouldn't be going back there

thats definatly not what a nervous person like me would want to see at the dentist office already nervous as it is!
I'd write a note and just leave it on the counter or somewhere and make it anonymous
