One of the students who trained with me was at loose end one day so she decided she would clean all the dentures of the elderly patients in our care.
All the old ladies and gentlemen gave up their pearlies to her to be cleaned.
She assembled two washbowls .......one held the denture cleanser and the other held clean water.....she tipped all the collected dentures into the bowl with the cleanser in and began happily to scrub away at them with a nailbrush.......it was only when she was half way through the process that she realised she didn't know which dentures belonged to which patients.
It was quite a job keeping the sister out of our way until we had re-united the dentures with their owners!
The sister DID find out.....though I'm not sure how.......and we both got a rocket....me for not having more sense to stop her!
