Tim Elmer: 'In the armed forces we lose thousands of man hours each year to people leaving to have dental care delivered.'

摘要

The truth of why I went into dentistry isn't based on some great calling or any particular experience I had. I went to the King's grammar school in Grantham and if I'm honest my best friend at the time suggested doing dentistry, so I said I'd do that as well. But I got the grades and he didn't. I turned up on day one and thought I'd see what it was like and it fitted me well so I progressed with it. It was random and chance, but I'm much more of a fatalist than someone who sits down with a three-year plan.
