NCUR clinic day

This morning I saw a class 2 patient and then scooted off to NCUR to present our research. It was an interesting experience. This afternoon I saw a lady with just her lower anteriors. She is trying to hold on to them. Hopefully she'll be more diligent with her home care. I went over OHI with her a bunch. I am officially done with PEs and quad requirements! All I need left is one more Arestin experience. I was going to do it yesterday at the VA but they are out of Arestin. Boo! It feels good to almost be done!

Productive day

Today was a good day. In the morning my patient was a class 4 but I already saw one so I gave him to Tori. I saw her class 5 instead. I was able to do injections on the class 4 though so now I only need 1 more! Woo!

In the afternoon, I saw a 1A and a 1B. The 1A was super easy. The 1B was easy too. I was able to do a sealant and air-powder polish on the 1B. He was a 15 year old boy... that wanted to go on a date with me. Sheesh. Apparently I really do look like I'm 16. Hahahaha. Yikes.

WOO

Sing praises! Our lovely Julie came in to me today while I was being an oral pathology TA and said, "Hey, i just found you a board patient." EEEEEEEEEEEEEK! So exciting. So I booked it out of there (Sorry Perry) and took x-rays on her and checked her calculus. She is the nicest lady. I have complete faith that she will show up AND she doesn't need local anesthesia. It all fell into place perfectly. I am so full of gratitude. I love that we all try to help each other out through this program. I love you girls!

asdlkjfhaksdfjha;

Today was super frustrating. Ugh. My morning patient didn't show so I called her about 8:30 and she said she thought I told her 9:30. Yeah, since 8:00 sounds so much like 9:30. So I told her to come in anyway. She brought in a demon child with her. The kid would not sit still. He kept pounding on my keyboard and playing with the nitrous machines and the blinds. (I'm in the nitrous storage unit.) I could not wait to get her out. She didn't even care that the kid was wreaking havoc.

This afternoon my patient was superrrrrr nice but a class 5. Which means.... I STILL DON'T HAVE A BOARD PATIENT. AHHHHHHHH. My board is march 17th. It's march 1st. That gives me 16 days to find a perfect board patient, get her perfect x-rays, and have her perfectly confirmed by instructors. ACK. I might have a heart attack if I don't find anyone at the screening tomorrow afternoon. Pray for me!
