Fresh-Out Fridays: Meet Haydyn Bathurst
Remember that first time you drove alone on your red P plates? That mix of freedom and sheer terror? That's exactly how Haydyn Bathurst describes his first days treating patients without a tutor looking over his shoulder.
This is Fresh-Out Fridays, where we sit down with early-career dentists who share the unfiltered truth about navigating those early-career moments that dental school didn't quite prepare you for. In this episode, we're catching up with Dr Haydyn Bathurst as he opens up about choosing the public pathway, juggling contract reviews during final exams, and learning to communicate with patients who comment on his youthful appearance. We'll explore how COVID reshaped his clinical training, why difficult patients can become your most loyal, and the unexpected satisfaction he's found in dentures of all things.
So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's brush up on what it takes to find your feet in those crucial first years.
