Fortunately for Alan, he was never a patient. My mother, however, allowed me to practice on her. I remember her under the gas, which was a lot of fun. I had never seen her so relaxed and funny.
It has occurred to me, that Elly had plenty of time to go to the office and familiarize herself with the equipment and practice a bit before she had to actually see a patient. Makes sense, but the punch line would be lost….
Not sure if Elly ever read Elizabeth bedtime stories, but in this case either “Puss in Boots” or “The Brave Little Tailor” would be good for Elly about the importance of knowing when to speak, when to let others decide, and about what.
Here’s the Tim Conway / Harvey Korman dentist skit on the old “Carol Burnett Show.” At 9:10, it’s a little on the long side but it’s absolutely hysterical and totally worth the watch. Hope everyone enjoys it!!! :-)

Should’ve kept that note in the third panel to yourself, Elly.
