DOC MIKE DELIVERS CEREC COURSE
AND CEREC 3D UNITS TO HONG KONG DENTISTS
Cerec 3D is Here to Stay!
(This site done for Doc Mike by "Doc" & Becky Hemp")
Hey Becky & Dave!
We are finally at HK airport again, after 4 days of Cerec training. Wouw, what a city!!!
We are most impressed by the Chinese. There are 7 million people here, but everything
is so well-organized and precise that it is really admirable. The dental offices we saw
(4 of them) are not large but all are equipped with the very latest toys. A lot of care is
placed on sterilization and hygiene. What surprises me most is the people... all are
friendly and it is absolutely safe to travel even at the backroads at night. All are
sleek & slim - but without doing any sports! They are moving & walking all the time,
and the average age for a male is 78 and for a female is 84. It can´t be the genes as
the city is multicultural, just like L.A. It must be because of the diet. Once you
get used to eating natural Chinese food (which is totally different from what you
get in our so-called Chinese restaurants) and especially the green Chinese tea your
taste changes. After 2 days of this diet you start hating soda-pops! Nothing is
processed, all food is fresh. People (and dentists!) are working 7 days a week,
including saturday. Opening hours are often until 10 pm. But people take their
time for extensive lunch & dinner. It´s a different but very interesting lifestyle.
The dentists that I met are showing a high degree of clinical skills. They learned
Cerec very quickly. About 70% of the girls here are true beauties, wearing the
latest fashion clothing. Older people are still very active. You should visit
one time... it´s a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Attached find a few photos!
Love
Mikey

Dear group,
please welcome those fine new Cerec collegues who have just received their intro
training at Hong Kong:
Dr.Kenneth Luk
Dr.Ryan Seto
Dr.Gordon K.C.Chiu
... and another collegue who has been working with Cerec for some years now already:
Dr.Dae-Hyun Lee.
All are working on the 3.60 version of the software. They use a mixture of Cerec ACs,
Cerec 3Ds, Cerec MCXL and Cerec compact machines. All have the very latest "H" computer
version. (and, BTW, all are laser dentists!)
During their learning curve, I am convinced that our discussion forum is the quickest,
easiest and most reliable source of information for them. Plus, it´s absolutely
independent from the industry (also independent from the "training industry" ;-)).
I would be grateful if you could help them the same way that you have always helped me
and we have always helped each other.
This will be rewarding for us as well because I am sure that within a very short time
we will receive some very nice ideas, tips and tricks from those new colleagues.
(besides that, even though we have to solve the world´s economic and other problems
in this group, we do need a little more talk about how to draw bottom lines, proximal
contact lines, shaping correct contacts, bonding and so on again ;-))))
Kind regards from Germany
Mike
