Board Patient-

Yesterday was quite a day. This morning I had 3 patients scheduled for a screening. Two of the patients were husband/wife and the wife was a board patient last year. So I was sooo excited to see her. Well she didnt come because she had a cough and her husband ended up being a 2 with not enough calculus. Then my 3rd patient I had looked in his mouth before and I knew he had tons of calculus. He walks in around 830 and when I go in the hall to get him he is gone. I asked if any knew where he went and they said he went to get his ID for a parking pass and 40 minutes later he comes back with his ID that he had to meet his wife to get!!! Stress!!! Charolette helped me out so much with him and I was able to do his screening, probe, take xrays and start on one quad. He just had way too much calculus for boards it was just everywhere. So I was again stressing because I really thought one of those three patients would be my board patients. Long story short Tandem screened a patient for Pam and Pam had already found one so she gave her to me. SO happy! She speaks spanish and Im not quite sure if she gets how important it is to come...... Im just praying it will all work out.
