I must pay for a lab about one thousand rmb, but if the patient will pay about at least seven thousand rmb. If I want to do RCF Doctor Ada must do local anesthesia for me. I hate this.

Edited:

Tomorrow is my day off, so at 1PM I will get a root canal filling. I can’t afford to pay for it but luckily I’m a nurse in this clinic and Doctor Ada will help me. After we finish this, she will start doing the preparations for the crown treatment I’m getting next. I must pay  about one thousand rmb for the lab, but other patients would pay about at least seven thousand rmb. If I want to do RCF, Doctor Ada must give me a local anesthesia, but I hate it.
