Another day of 2's

This morning my patient told me right at 10 that she had to leave so I was only able to finish 2 quads but luckily I did pass of my anesthetic pe on her. My afternoon patient is my 2nd mockboard and I scaled her left side which went pretty well. Hopefully the 3s and 4s will be knocking on my door soon!!!!

STREESSSSS

Well my morning patient was pretty easy and I was able to get him done by 10. I am really starting to stress out about finding a board patient. I feel like everyday someone else is finding one and I'm not! Everytime I go to look at the recall list all the good patients are gone!!! And I am stressing out about finding a class 4 not quite sure where im going to find one. Oh well Im just going to pray that everything will work out.

Good day for some needed PA's!

My morning patient is my first mockboard. I scaled half mouth and took Bwx and PA's. It was so hard to communicate to her to bite down all the way for the xrays and it took sooo long to get them all done. My afternoon patient came back from last week to get the rest of his mouth scaled and I didnt realize that it would be so quick to finish him up so I was done by 130 wondering what I was going to do till check out. I went up to the recall list, trying to find a patient to screen for tomorrow and a walk in came in wanting xrays. She was totally up for taking a full mouth! Oh that made my day and the greatest part about it was that she paid for them! ( Since I have paid for all lot of my patients PAs this year) It was great. Now I just need to find a Board patient!!!!

VA

So this is a bit of a complaining post. I just dont love the VA!!! The instruments are always so dull and the anterior instruments just arent working for me. Maybe its because I am so comfortable with my instruments at Weber :( My first patient today had severe xerostomia, needed a bite block, was so sensitive that I could not use the ultrasonic and I had to apply varnish before I hand scaled because she couldnt take the scaling either. It was a very interesting experience. Maybe one day I learned to like the VA..... Okay I'm done with complaining today haha

First clinic day of semester

Today I felt like I had forgotten how to instrument ah!!!! I also found out that I am using the wrong side of the explorer on the anteriors.. Seriously the explorer! It took awhile to get back into the swing of things. I saw a 1B in the morning at 2 quads of a 2 and 2 quads of a 5 in the afternoon.
